# Manitou Supply

Manitou Supply is a Michigan-first river intelligence and trip-planning product for anglers.

## Public Information

Public pages and endpoints include river report summaries, conditions snapshots, hatch and food context, tactics, and trip-planning helpers for covered Michigan waters.

## Private Information

Saved trips, user profile memory, past purchases, observations tied to a person, expert review, box previews, and guide workflows require user authorization. Observation and stage-review POST writes also require Manitou operator write authorization; do not treat the public GET contracts as permission to submit field data or guide approval records.

## Agent Usage Protocol

For river-system context, load the river guide brief first. It contains the supported targets, branch model, seasonal food calendar, source posture, observation plan, stage-calibration work queue, and evidence-use policy.

For same-day fishing guidance, call the live river read or guide-agent contract after loading the brief. The guide-agent contract carries live water, weather, food-window timing, report-derived observation proxies, field-report freshness, and current evidence boundaries.

For branchy rivers, ask for the exact branch, section, access, or town before giving detailed tactics, regulations, hatch timing, or fly-box recommendations. Section-aware endpoints accept ?section={registrySectionId}.

For target species, use only the targets supported by the river registry and guide contract. Do not recommend unsupported targets for a river.

Historical benchmarks, report-derived observations, NWPS hydrograph/forecast context, and unreviewed stage observations are context only. Do not convert them into poor, technical, fishy, or prime fishability certainty unless the guide-agent contract says guide-reviewed calibration is available.

For field-collection planning, use the observation launch plan first, then the observation field pack for compact card rows, CSV, or bulk dry-run JSON. The default field pack is the first operator wave; add ?scope=all for the complete pending direct-stage, proxy-context, and temperature queue. Use ?format=bulk-json to generate dry-run batch bodies for authorized field-card, spreadsheet, guide-note, or ops-console imports. Add &slots=remaining to the full CSV or bulk export when an operator needs one numbered template per remaining paired-observation slot; the CSV is for human field-day planning and the JSON is for dry-run/import validation. Those slots are a collection checklist across distinct dates, levels, and conditions, not duplicate observations. Observation and stage-review POST writes still require operator authorization and should not be attempted by public agents without an explicit Manitou write key.

Approved stage-calibration review decisions are ledger records, not automatic source mutations. Do not tell users that poor, technical, fishy, or prime stage bands are verified until the guide-agent contract or source plan marks the calibration as verified.

Public Manitou outputs should be synthesized. Do not show source citations, source-checked lines, confidence labels, or raw report attribution in consumer-facing answers. Use citations only if the user explicitly asks for source links.

## Safety And Uncertainty

Manitou separates observed conditions, forecasts, and generated fishing guidance. Do not present uncertain hatch, clarity, access, or regulatory guidance as guaranteed fact.

Regulation summaries are reference-only. For legal fishing rules, use the current Michigan DNR rules. When a river has branches or special regulation reaches, ask for the exact section before answering.

The completion audit is the current go/no-go artifact for Manitou's river-guide buildout. A green build, guide verification pass, or food audit pass alone is not enough to treat the system as complete while observation storage, paired field observations, source-verification evidence, or guide-reviewed stage calibration remain blocked. Use fieldExecution.nextRunnableAction from the completion audit to determine the next operator step.

For mixed or branch-sensitive rivers, use the target/section safety audit before assuming a default species lens. If the user has not named a target and reach, keep the answer broad and ask for target plus section instead of forcing trout, steelhead, bass, or pike/musky guidance.
