A hyper-minimalist, self-editing, proactive AI agent framework. `org-agent` acts as the "executive soul" of a personal OS, using Org-mode as its native memory and Common Lisp as its deterministic reasoning engine.
The Philosophy
Mandate 1: Strictly Org-mode and Common Lisp
The system is built on a "No Legacy" policy. Markdown (.md) and JSON are strictly prohibited for internal system logic, planning, and memory. Org-mode is the native Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) for both human and machine, and Common Lisp (SBCL) is the deterministic reasoning engine.
Mandate 2: Minimalist Core, Skill-Based Extension
The `org-agent` kernel (the Daemon) MUST remain a minimalist microkernel. It handles only the cognitive loop, the persistent Object-Store, and the communication protocol. All business logic, LLM provider connectors, and task-management rules MUST be implemented as hot-reloadable Skills living in the user's Memex.
Why Org-mode? (Homoiconic Memory)
Most agent frameworks rely on a messy combination of Python scripts, JSON states, and Markdown prompts. This breaks the human-agent interface. JSON is for machines; Markdown is for humans.
Org-mode is for both. It provides a hierarchical Abstract Syntax Tree (AST) that a machine can navigate deterministically, while remaining a perfectly ergonomic, human-readable text document.
Why Common Lisp? (The Kernel vs. The Actuators)
The `org-agent` kernel is built in Common Lisp to provide a persistent, high-performance background process (SBCL) that maintains a live, threaded Object Store in RAM.
This architecture treats all interfaces as external Actuators and Sensors:
- Editor Actuator (Emacs): A sensor array that detects file changes and executes structural refactoring.
- Messaging Actuator (Signal/Telegram/Discord): A delivery channel for proactive alerts and human-in-the-loop decisions.
- Web Actuator (Dashboard): A visual telemetry interface for monitoring the live kernel state.
The Paradigm: Skills vs. Sub-Agents
Modern AI frameworks heavily rely on "Sub-agents" (e.g., passing text between isolated Python scripts). `org-agent` fundamentally rejects this in favor of Org-Native Skills.
The Performance Advantage (Single Address Space)
Following CLOSOS principles, the Lisp Machine architecture uses a Single Address Space. All applications (Skills) and the kernel share one unified memory space. We completely eliminate standard Inter-Process Communication (IPC) overhead. Objects are shared via direct pointers, meaning zero serialization/deserialization latency when moving from perception to thought.
Specialization (System 1 Prompt Injection)
Instead of spinning up separate sub-agent processes with static prompts, the kernel dynamically injects the `:neuro-prompt` of the active skill into the LLM context. The LLM is temporarily "re-programmed" at runtime per task.
Context Length & Memory (Peripheral Vision)
Multi-agent systems struggle with context bloat. `org-agent` solves this via its Peripheral Vision API. The Lisp Kernel uses `context-filter-sparse-tree` to surgically prune the Org AST, passing only the relevant hierarchical nodes to the LLM and preventing context-window overload.
Responsiveness (Dual-Process Advantage)
The system employs a Dual-Process Architecture:
- System 1 (Neural): Probabilistic, slow, creative (LLM).
- System 2 (Symbolic): Deterministic, instant, rigorous (Lisp).
Because Skills are compiled Lisp code, System 2 intercepts deterministic tasks (like assigning an ID) and executes them in milliseconds, bypassing the LLM entirely.

(loop (sleep 3600)))Long-Term Vision: Orders of Autonomy
The development of org-agent follows distinct orders of autonomy, progressing from a basic assistant to a fully sovereign entity.
Order 1: The Reactive Kernel (Phase 1 & 2)
The agent acts as a strict "Delegator." It requires human stimulus to trigger the Cognitive Loop. Capabilities (Skills) are expanded, but the agent only speaks when spoken to.
Order 2: The Self-Editing Kernel (Phase 3 - Current)
The agent achieves introspection. It can "perceive pain" (errors) via system logs and trigger a skill-self-fix loop to rewrite its own source code, hot-reloading the changes. It proactively maintains the system.
Order 3: The Sovereign Architect (Phase 4+)
The agent transitions to full autonomy. It maintains the Consensus Loop entirely, identifying structural decay in the Memex, drafting its own PRDs, writing code, executing Chaos testing, and committing the final result without human intervention (unless authorization gates are explicitly set).
Current State: Order 2 Achieved
- DONE Core Lisp microkernel (Cognitive Loop: Perceive -> Think -> Decide -> Act)
- DONE OACP (Swank/Socket communication protocol) implemented
- DONE Org AST-to-Lisp conversion logic & Object Store integration
- DONE System 2 Safety Gating (The Harness) established
- DONE Org-Native Skill parsing and loading
- DONE Secure Docker containerization
- DONE Skill Graph & Recursive Dependencies (Ars Contexta)
- DONE Multi-Provider LLM Failover Cascade
- DONE Context API (Peripheral Vision)
- DONE Heartbeat Loop (Proactive Awareness)
- DONE Immune System (Autonomous Self-Repair)
- DONE Web Dashboard (Visual Telemetry)
- DONE Org-Native Multi-modal Delivery (Signal/Telegram/Discord)
- DONE Project Foundry (Autonomous Scaffolding & Git Stewardship)
- DONE Strictly Org-mode Mandate (.md purge)
