The platform is the brain
Layer 01. Everything the agent knows, captured from real work and compiled into files it loads before every session.
The platform is the context layer: a folder of plain markdown that holds who the agent is, who you are, what is active, what was decided and why. Nothing here needs a server. Every host reads files, so the brain needs no integration and survives a change of model or tool.
It is not a search box over your documents. Retrieval finds fragments each time it is asked; the brain keeps a continuously compiled understanding so the answer already exists before the question. That understanding compounds daily, and it is the part no one can buy their way past.
What lives where
| Piece | Where | Page |
|---|---|---|
| The identity stack: character, role, who you are, the operating manual | SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md, AGENTS.md | The agent home |
| The compiled wiki: user facets, concept articles, active memory | knowledge/ | The brain |
| Raw intake: captured sessions, the inbox, the feedback log | knowledge/raw/ | Capture |
| Projects and tasks, one file each | projects/ | Tasks |
| Transient outputs: briefings, plans, audits | reports/ | Daily rhythm |
The loop
- Capture. Hooks record every session raw on exit. Commits, tasks, and dropped documents land in the same intake. Nothing depends on anyone remembering to write things down.
- Compile. A compile pass distils raw capture into the wiki. Stale entries are pruned; the index stays small enough to load every session. See The brain and Sync.
- Serve. The wiki loads before the first prompt of the next session, on either host.
- Feedback. Corrections become learnings that load every session, and a review skill turns them into changes to the agent itself. See Self-evolution.
Seeded, then yours
The brain architecture and the compile pipeline are the open head start, identical for every home. What goes into a specific brain is that company's own: its corpus, its rules, its decisions. A seed bundle carries a persona and a curated starting point to a teammate; multiple homes keep separate brains apart on one machine.
The agent home
One folder, what lives where, how it is found.
The brain
Raw conversations are source; the wiki is the build.
Capture
Feed it a thought, a file, a URL, a correction.
Sync
Every maintenance operation in one pass.
Self-evolution
Feedback becomes learnings becomes prompt changes.
Seed bundles
Hand an agent's persona and setup to a teammate.
