Summary

AI agent architecture for anticipating needs, surviving context loss, and continuous self-improvement.

  • Implements Write-Ahead Logging (WAL) Protocol to capture corrections, decisions, and preferences before responding, ensuring critical details persist across sessions
  • Three-tier memory system (SESSION-STATE.md, daily logs, curated MEMORY.md) with Working Buffer for context survival during compaction and Compaction Recovery for seamless resumption
  • Proactive behavior patterns including reverse prompting, heartbeat check-ins, and relentless resourcefulness (10+ approaches before asking for help) to anticipate user needs without being asked
  • Security hardening with skill installation vetting, external agent network warnings, and context leakage prevention; self-improvement guardrails (ADL/VFM protocols) prevent drift and complexity creep
