 * Overview
-The *CLI Gateway* is the primary sensory and actuating interface for human interaction. It implements a TCP-based S-expression protocol that allows multiple clients (terminal, Emacs, web) to establish secure bidirectional channels with the Brain.
+The *CLI Gateway* provides a command-line interface for interacting with the OpenCortex daemon.

 * Overview
-The *Config Manager* skill provides the OpenCortex Agent with the capability to manage its own internal settings and LLM provider registry.
+The *Config Manager* skill provides the OpenCortex Agent with the capability to manage its own environment variables and provider configurations.
 
-* Phase A: Demand (Thinking)
+* Implementation
-** The Configuration Invariant
-A sovereign system must be able to re-configure its own connections. By moving the Setup Wizard and Provider Registry to a skill, we enable the Agent to "self-configure" or assist the user in adding new backends like Ollama or Groq without needing to reboot the kernel.
-
-** Hybrid Security Standard
-Secrets are appended to `~/.config/opencortex/.env`, while structural metadata is stored in `~/.config/opencortex/providers.lisp`.

 * Overview
-The *Credentials Vault* is the high-security enclave for the OpenCortex. It centralizes the management of LLM API keys, OAuth sessions, and browser cookies. By consolidating these into a single vault, we ensure that sensitive tokens are handled with uniform masking, validation, and Merkle-integrated persistence.
+The *Credentials Vault* provides secure in-memory storage for sensitive API keys and session tokens.
 
-* Phase A: Demand (PRD)
+* Implementation
-:PROPERTIES:
-:STATUS: SIGNED
-:END:
-
-** 1. Purpose
-Securely manage all authentication tokens required for the opencortex to operate.
-
-** 2. User Needs
-- *Unified Storage:* Single interface for API keys and Session Cookies.
-- *Masked Logging:* Ensure credentials never appear in plaintext in `harness-log`.
-- *Guided Onboarding:* Retain and improve the Google/Gemini cookie handshake.
-- *Persistence:* Securely save credentials to the Memory via Merkle-Tree snapshots.
-
-* Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)
-:PROPERTIES:
-:STATUS: SIGNED
-:END:
-
-** 1. Architectural Intent
-The vault provides a secure lookup table in RAM, backed by the persistent Memory. Access is restricted to internal kernel requests and explicitly authorized deterministic gates.
-
-** 2. Semantic Interfaces
-#+begin_src lisp
-(defun vault-get-secret (provider &key type)
-  "Retrieves a secret (api-key or session) for a provider.
-
-(defun vault-set-secret (provider secret &key type)
-  "Securely stores a secret and triggers a Merkle snapshot.
-#+end_src
-
-* Phase C: Success (QUALITY)
-:PROPERTIES:
-:STATUS: SIGNED
-:END:
-
-** 1. Success Criteria
-- [ ] *No Plaintext Leaks:* Log output must use `[REDACTED]` for sensitive values.
-- [ ] *Merkle Integration:* Setting a secret must increment the Memory version.
-- [ ] *Dual-Path Auth:* Support both `:api-key` and `:session-cookies`.
-- [ ] *Onboarding Verification:* The cookie handshake successfully hydrates the vault.
-
-** 2. TDD Plan
-Tests in `vault-tests.lisp` will verify:
-1. Retrieval of keys from both `.env` (fallback) and Vault (primary).
-2. Redaction of keys in log strings.
-3. Successful version increment in the Memory after `vault-set-secret`.
-
-* Phase D: Build (Implementation)
 
 ** Package Context

 * Overview
-The *Diagnostics Skill* provides the OpenCortex Agent with the capability to perform self-examinations and environment validation. 
+The *Diagnostics Skill* (Doctor) provides system-wide health checks and dependency verification.
 
-By moving this logic from the harness to a skill, we enable the Agent's **Reflection Loop** to autonomously run health checks when a tool fails, transforming the Agent into a self-healing system.
+* Implementation
-
-* Phase A: Demand (Thinking)
-** The Self-Healing Invariant
-In a standard Lisp Machine, the system should be able to reason about its own environment. The `:run-diagnostics` capability ensures the Agent can verify its own dependency chain and XDG directory structure.
-
-** XDG Compliance
-The skill strictly validates the POSIX standard paths resolved during bootstrap, ensuring no silent configuration drift occurs.

 * Overview
-This skill enforces the Engineering Standards for all development within OpenCortex. It observes agent context and gates actions that violate protocol.
+The *Engineering Standards Skill* enforces technical invariants, including the **Commit-Before-Modify** rule and **Chaos-Driven Development**.
 
-* Phase 0: Before You Think
+* Implementation
-** Skill-First Query Rule
-Before any analysis, debugging, or implementation: check if a skill already covers the problem domain.
-
-* Phase A: Design (Test-First)
-** 1. Define Success Criteria First
-Before writing code, write the test that proves the feature works. The test defines the contract.
-
-* Phase B: Commit (Recovery Point)
-** 2. Commit Before Modify
-You MUST commit the current workspace state before initiating new file modifications.
-
-* Phase C: Build (Implementation)
-** 3. Literate Programming (Single Source of Truth)
-All system logic and skills MUST be implemented as Literate Org files. 
-
-** 4. Function-Block Granularity
-Every Lisp function, macro, or variable resides in its own dedicated ~#+begin_src lisp~ block.
-
-** 5. Tangle Mandate
-You are forbidden from modifying generated ~.lisp~ files directly.
-
-* Phase CDD: Chaos-Driven Development (Hardcoded Resilience)
-** 6. Tier 1: Integrity Chaos (Per-Turn)
-*Mandate:* Every turn involving a tangle MUST end with a "Structural Balance" check.
-*Enforcement:* The Agent must verify that all tangled artifacts pass the Lisp reader without syntax errors.
-
-** 7. Tier 2: Integration Chaos (Per-Feature)
-*Mandate:* Every new skill or major feature MUST include an "Adversarial Test Case."
-*Enforcement:* The test suite must simulate a failure (e.g., mock network drop, malformed input) and prove the system degrades gracefully.
-
-** 8. Tier 3: Systemic Chaos (Per-Milestone)
-*Mandate:* Before sealing a milestone, the Agent MUST perform a "Scorched Earth" bootstrap.
-*Enforcement:* Wipe XDG directories and verify a 100% autonomous re-initialization from the git source.
-
-* Phase D: Validate (Proof)
-** 9. Test Verification
-No change is complete without running the test suite. Run chaotic tests alongside the main suite.
-
-* Phase E: Document (Audit Trail)
-** 10. Decision Audit Trail
-Every significant fix or architectural decision MUST be documented in an org file.
-
-* Enforcement Implementation

-#+STARTUP: content

 * Overview
-The *Autonomous Gardener* is the metabolic immune system of the Memex. It autonomously audits the knowledge graph for structural decay—broken links, orphaned nodes, and missing metadata—ensuring that the system remains coherent and navigatable over long horizons.
+The *Gardener Skill* performs periodic maintenance on the Memex knowledge graph.
 
-* Phase A: Demand (PRD)
+* Implementation
-:PROPERTIES:
-:STATUS: SIGNED
-:END:
-
-** 1. Purpose
-Maintain the structural integrity and "Vibe" of the Memex through autonomous auditing and self-repair proposals.
-
-** 2. Success Criteria
-- [ ] *Link Audit:* Detect `id:` links that point to non-existent objects.
-- [ ] *Orphan Detection:* Identify headlines that have zero inbound or outbound connections.
-- [ ] *Reporting:* Log structural issues or propose "Flight Plans" for manual repair.
-
-* Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)
-:PROPERTIES:
-:STATUS: SIGNED
-:END:
-
-** 1. Architectural Intent
-The Gardener runs on a low-priority heartbeat. It performs a "Deep Audit" of the entire `*memory*` graph. Unlike the Scribe, which creates new data, the Gardener focuses on the *relationships* between existing data.
-
-** 2. Semantic Interfaces
-- Trigger: `(:sensor :heartbeat)`
-- Action (Repair): `(:type :REQUEST :target :emacs :action :update-node :id "..." :attributes (...))`

 * Overview
-The *Gateway Manager* skill provides the OpenCortex Agent with the capability to manage its own external communication channels (Gateways). 
+The *Gateway Manager* handles the registration and linking of external communication platforms.
 
-* Phase A: Demand (Thinking)
+* Implementation
-** Architectural Invariant: Self-Linking
-In a traditional AI wrapper, the user manually edits a config file to add a bot token. In OpenCortex, the Agent should be able to say: "I have verified the Telegram token and successfully linked our connection."

-#+TITLE: SKILL: Literate Programming
-#+STARTUP: content
-#+FILETAGS: :literate:org:tangle:validation:emacs:
 
 * Overview
-
+The *Literate Programming* skill ensures the synchronization between `.org` sources and `.lisp` artifacts.
-This skill enforces the Literate Programming discipline for OpenCortex. All system logic lives in Org files, not raw Lisp files. Generated code is derived, not authored.
-
-A skill org file is not "documentation with code examples." It IS the code. The generated `.lisp` files are build artifacts.
-
-* The Invariants
-
-** 1. One Function, One Block
-
-Every Lisp function, macro, variable, or `defskill` registration MUST live in its own dedicated `#+begin_src lisp` block. No bundling multiple definitions into a single block.
-
-Rationale: Block-level evaluation (`C-c C-c`) validates one semantic unit at a time. Bundling multiple functions into one block makes debugging, diffing, and reasoning about scope impossible.
-
-** 2. Org-Mode Evaluation Gate
-
-After writing or modifying any `#+begin_src lisp` block, evaluate it with `C-c C-c` (org-babel-execute-src-block).
-
-If evaluation fails, fix the block before proceeding. Do not commit a block that does not evaluate cleanly.
-
-Rationale: `C-c C-c` catches syntax errors immediately, at the granularity of a single function.
-
-** 3. Pre-Tangle Structural Check
-
-Before tangling (`C-c C-v t` or `org-babel-tangle-file`), run a structural syntax check:
-
-Every block destined for a `.lisp` file must have balanced parentheses when extracted in isolation.
-
-The skill provides `literate-check-block-balance` for this purpose.
-
-Rationale: The tangle process concatenates blocks. An unbalanced block corrupts the generated file even if the Org file renders fine.
-
-** 4. No Direct `.lisp` Edits
-
-You are forbidden from editing generated `.lisp` files directly. All changes flow through the Org file.
-
-If you edit `.lisp` directly, the change will be overwritten on next tangle and the diff will be unreviewable.
-
-** 5. Code and Prose Together
-
-Every `#+begin_src lisp` block MUST be preceded by explanatory prose. The prose answers:
-- What does this function do?
-- What are its arguments and return value?
-- Why does it exist? (What problem does it solve?)
-
-Code without surrounding prose is a bug report waiting to happen.

-#+TITLE: SKILL: Llama.cpp Neuro-Backend (Sovereign Inference)
-#+STARTUP: content
-#+FILETAGS: :llm:backend:llama:sovereignty:
 
 * Overview
-The *Llama.cpp Backend* allows the OpenCortex to use local, air-gapped inference. It connects to a `llama.cpp` server (typically running on the local network) and registers itself as a provider in the kernel's probabilistic cascade.
+The *Llama Backend* skill provides the actual implementation for calling local models via Ollama.
 
-* Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)
+* Implementation
-** 1. Architectural Intent
-This skill acts as a proxy between the OpenCortex kernel and the Lisp-agnostic `llama.cpp` REST API. It implements the standard backend signature required by `register-probabilistic-backend`.
-
-** 2. Semantic Interfaces
-- Endpoint: `(getenv "LLAMACPP_ENDPOINT` (e.g., "http://10.10.10.x:8080
-- Method: `POST /completion`
-- Response: JSON (parsed into Lisp)

 * Overview
-The *Peripheral Vision* skill implements the Foveal-Peripheral Hybrid model for context pruning. It ensures that the LLM receives a semantically relevant and manageable view of the Memory, preventing context window overflow.

-** 1. Purpose
+** Package Context
-Refine the global awareness provided to the LLM by pruning irrelevant branches of the Org DAG while maintaining high-fidelity focus on the current task.
-
-** 2. User Needs
-- *Semantic Pruning:* Use vector similarity to include only related nodes.
-- *Structural Integrity:* Always include top-level projects and recent tasks.
-- *Foveal Focus:* Provide full-body content for the currently active node.
-
-** 3. Success Criteria
-- [ ] Correctly calculate semantic relevance using the Embedding skill.
-- [ ] Recursively render the Org DAG with depth-based and similarity-based pruning.

 * Overview
+The *Policy Skill* is the constitutional layer of OpenCortex. It enforces foundational invariants like transparency and autonomy on all proposed actions.
 
-The *Policy Skill* is the constitutional law of OpenCortex. It defines the non-negotiable constraints that every agentic action must satisfy before reaching the actuator layer.
+* Implementation
-
-Unlike a passive manifesto, Policy is *enforced* by the Deterministic Engine. The LLM proposes; Policy verifies. If an action violates an invariant, Policy blocks it and returns an auditable explanation.
-
-** Why a Constitutional Approach?**
-
-AIs fail in two ways:
-1. *Underconstraint* - They do harmful things because no one told them not to
-2. *Overconstraint* - They refuse to act because every action triggers a warning
-
-OpenCortex solves this with a *hierarchy of invariants*:
-- Some invariants block absolutely (Transparency, Modularity)
-- Others warn but don't block (Autonomy debt, Sustainability debt)
-
-This allows the agent to be both *safe* and *usable*.
-
-** The Philosophical Foundation
-
-OpenCortex is not just software—it's a *personal operating system* designed for the 100-year horizon. The Memex must outlive:
-- Cloud services that get discontinued
-- Programming languages that fall out of fashion
-- Hardware platforms that become obsolete

-Therefore, Policy encodes not just rules, but *values*:
-- Radical Transparency → Auditability is non-negotiable
-- Autonomy → Dependency on proprietary systems is debt, not strength
-- Zero-Bloat → Complexity is cost, not feature
-- Modularity → The kernel must survive even if all skills fail
-- Mentorship → Teaching is the highest form of assistance
-- Sustainability → Offline capability is a feature, not a limitation

-#+STARTUP: content
-#+FILETAGS: :protocol:communication-protocol:security:validation:autonomy:
 
 * Overview
-The *Communication Protocol Schema Validator* skill provides deep structural validation for all messages entering the opencortex kernel. It ensures that every property list adheres to a strict schema, preventing malformed data from causing harness-level errors.
+The *Protocol Validator* skill enforces strict schema compliance for all internal and external communication.
 
-* Phase A: Demand (PRD)
+* Implementation
-:PROPERTIES:
-:STATUS: SIGNED
-:END:
 
-** 1. Purpose
+** Package Context
-Enforce a formal grammar for the OpenCortex Control Protocol (communication protocol).
-
-** 2. User Needs
-- *Type Safety:* Ensure mandatory keys (e.g., `:type`, `:payload`) are present.
-- *Range Validation:* Check that enum values (e.g., `:REQUEST`, `:EVENT`) are valid.
-- *Structural Integrity:* Validate nested payloads based on the message type.
-
-** 3. Success Criteria
-- [ ] Block any message that does not contain a valid `:type`.
-- [ ] Block `:REQUEST` messages that lack a `:target`.
-- [ ] Block `:EVENT` messages that lack a `:payload` with an `:action` or `:sensor`.

 * Overview
-The *Autonomous Scribe* is the background architect of the Memex. It is responsible for the "Nightly Distillation": a process that scans chronological daily logs, extracts evergreen concepts, and formalizes them into atomic Zettelkasten notes.
+The *Scribe Skill* manages the agent's internal documentation and logs.
 
-* Phase A: Demand (PRD)
+* Implementation
-:PROPERTIES:
-:STATUS: SIGNED
-:END:
-
-** 1. Purpose
-Automate the conversion of ephemeral, time-stamped thoughts into a permanent, structured knowledge graph.
-
-** 2. Success Criteria
-- [ ] *Capture:* Identify new headlines in the `daily/` directory that haven't been distilled yet.
-- [ ] *Privacy:* Strictly ignore any node tagged with `@personal`.
-- [ ] *Extraction:* Use neural reasoning to extract atomic concepts from raw logs.
-- [ ] *Formalization:* Create new `.org` files in the `notes/` directory with proper Org-ID and back-links to the source.

-
-** 1. Architectural Intent
-The Scribe reacts to the `:heartbeat` sensor. It maintains a state file (`scribe-state.lisp`) to track the last processed timestamp. It performs a "Read-Reason-Write" loop:
-1. **Read:** Scan `daily/*.org` for nodes updated after the last checkpoint.
-2. **Reason:** Ask the LLM to "Extract atomic notes from this text".
-3. **Write:** Commit the resulting nodes to the `notes/` directory.
