+# Delivery Record — HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT
+
+## Status: SEND-READY — awaiting Kwame's channel + recipient confirmation
+
+No documented channel to Scot Murray exists in this workspace, the skills, or config
+(verified 2026-09-11 by sweep of `~/syslog/projects/murray-capital/`, `syslog-infra`
+references, `murray-harness` skill, `.hermes/memories/`, all of `~/syslog/`).
+Per the card's unblock constraints: package prepared, exact send commands written
+below, nothing transmitted. Guessing an address is out of scope.
+
+## Verified artifact (single source of truth)
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Markdown source | `/home/hermes/syslog/prose-contracts/deliverables/scot-hermes-playbook/HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT.md` |
+| sha256 | `b0966a649fec96da4975ec00e627fbaba3a92a62c4a92b33bc06589c47d25f7f` |
+| Size | 28821 bytes, 377 lines |
+| Matches reviewed bytes | YES — identical to `/home/hermes/syslog/drafts/scot-hermes-playbook/` copy and to the hash recorded on card t_2c716052 |
+
+## Rendered PDF (from the verified bytes, no edits)
+
+| Item | Value |
+|---|---|
+| PDF | `/home/hermes/syslog/prose-contracts/deliverables/scot-hermes-playbook/HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT.pdf` |
+| sha256 | `f46c0c89b4bbf6fa76c1f1c385c87753860d06bfa9e8925d6e09f27ed78a187b` |
+| Size | 96,486 bytes · 13 pages · A4 |
+| Render chain | pandoc 3.1.11.1 (gfm → html5) + WeasyPrint 62.3, stylesheet `pb.css`; reproducible via `bash render_pdf.sh` |
+| Spot-check | pdftotext shows correct title page + v0.21.1 verification note |
+
+## Candidate channels — exact commands (pending Kwame's pick + address)
+
+### 1. Email via syslog-email profile (recommended)
+
+Mailbox ops belong to the syslog-email profile per standing rule. Send as
+jerome@sysloggh.com with both attachments.
+
+```
+hermes -p syslog-email chat -q "Send an email. From jerome@sysloggh.com. \
+To: <SCOT-ADDRESS — Kwame to supply>. Subject: 'Hermes Playbook — getting real mileage out of the harness'. \
+Attach: /home/hermes/syslog/prose-contracts/deliverables/scot-hermes-playbook/HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT.pdf \
+and HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT.md. Body: short intro noting the PDF is the reviewed v0.21.1 playbook, \
+sha256 b0966a64… (sic, abbreviated), ask him to flag anything confusing — that feedback feeds the harness build. \
+Show me the draft before sending."
+```
+
+Direct himalaya (only if Kwame wants it from the main session — normally NOT, per
+the email-routing standing rule):
+
+```
+himalaya message write --to "<SCOT-ADDRESS>" --subject "Hermes Playbook — getting real mileage out of the harness" \
+  --attachment .../HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT.pdf --attachment .../HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT.md
+himalaya message send <draft.eml>
+```
+
+### 2. Telegram (only if Kwame has Scot's handle)
+
+Send the PDF to Scot's handle from the gateway-connected Telegram session:
+
+```
+hermes chat -q "Send the file /home/hermes/syslog/prose-contracts/deliverables/scot-hermes-playbook/HERMES-PLAYBOOK-FOR-SCOT.pdf to <SCOT-HANDLE> with a one-line intro."
+```
+
+### 3. Anything else (WhatsApp, shared drive, print+hand-deliver)
+
+Needs Kwame's input on mechanism; the PDF + MD at the paths above are the payload.
+
+## Post-send obligations (from the card)
+
+1. Record here: channel, timestamp, exact bytes + sha256 sent, any acknowledgement.
+2. Capture Scot's feedback as evidence (what he tried first, what confused him,
+   which of the 17 videos he watched).
+3. Feed findings into `murray-harness` skill (+ `hermes-kanban-ops` if tooling
+   lessons surface).
+4. If no reply in 7 days: ONE follow-up nudge is in scope; more is Kwame's call.
+5. Feature gaps he reports → separate card, do not widen this one.
