Seven memory layers. Ebbinghaus-inspired decay. Temporal knowledge graphs. A 5-tier wisdom cascade. Budget-gated heartbeat. Self-generating workflows. Deep engineering for autonomous intelligence.
Compatible with leading foundation models
Not a wrapper. Not a chatbot. A deeply engineered cognitive operating system for autonomous agent swarms.
Markdown flat files → SQLite event ledger → ChromaDB vectors → Auto-capture/recall → Cross-session context engine → Temporal knowledge graph → PARA canonical knowledge. Each layer has its own storage engine, retention policy, and query API. Ebbinghaus-inspired forgetting curve extends memory life by 20% per recall.
score = λ × semantic + (1−λ) × exp(−age/τ)5-tier operational hierarchy: CEO → Senior Leaders → Leaders → Workers → Junior Workers. Role-driven reporting lines with auto-generated org maps and hierarchy-aware task escalation.
Workspace → SwarmSpace → Team → AgentImmutable safety core → Memory injection guard → SHA-256 intent cipher → Two-tier Guardian scanner → Action gate with session-scoped approvals → 26-rule skill scanner → Docker DooD sandbox. Defense in depth — not a single fence.
Layer 1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6 → 7Per-agent token budgets with soft-warn at 80% and hard-stop at 100%. LLM-gated heartbeat evaluates before acting. Cost-capped validation loops prevent runaway retries.
if observed ≥ limit → hard_stop → agent pausedAgents detect their own repeated tool-call patterns and auto-generate deterministic workflows, replacing LLM reasoning with cheap execution. The Introspection Loop evaluates every N tool calls. The Adaptation Engine promotes learnings into prompt fragments, routing hints, and validator policy tweaks. The Wisdom Cascade flows knowledge bidirectionally through the hierarchy.
detect → score → corroborate → promote → evolveAssemble the exact combination of experts needed for your project.
Designs system specs and handles high-level structural planning.
Translates specs into clean, functional code via reasoning models.
Executes deep tasks, deployment scripts, and drives the terminal.
Reviews pull requests, memory logs, and validates boundaries.
Full transparency and total control — from supervised approval to full autonomy — with a single setting.
Leaders get expensive models for strategic reasoning. Juniors get cheap models for repetitive work. Automatic, based on archetype — not manual configuration.
Go from fully supervised to full Mad Dog with a single switch. Scope autonomy per workspace, per agent, or per task — 6 scoping levels.
Agents introspect their own performance, detect repeated patterns, and autonomously generate deterministic workflows — replacing expensive LLM reasoning with cheap execution.
Workers that stall are force-paused and escalated to their lead. Leads escalate to the CEO. Problems find the right authority automatically — no babysitting.
Not all agent frameworks are built equal. Here's what ships out of the box.
