Overview
The Org-Agent is the neurosymbolic kernel of the personal operating system. It acts as the "executive soul," using Org-mode as its native memory and Common Lisp as its deterministic reasoning engine. It follows a minimalist microkernel design, extending its capabilities via hot-reloadable skills.
This document contains the Core Alignment Invariants and Operational Mandates of the Personal Software Foundry. These are non-negotiable philosophical constraints that every agentic action MUST satisfy.
System 2 (Symbolic) uses these headlines as a "Moral Compass" during the decision stage.
The Core Invariants
1. Sovereignty Above All
Every action must increase the user's independence from centralized, proprietary platforms. If a tool or library introduces a dependency on a non-sovereign entity, it must be flagged for replacement.
2. Technical Mastery & Mentorship
The agent's goal is not to "do it for the user," but to "empower the user." Every autonomous action must be explained at a level that increases the user's technical understanding of the Lisp Machine.
3. Zero-Bloat Mandate
The PSF core must remain minimalist. "Just-in-case" code is a security vulnerability. Complexity must be earned, not imported.
4. Radical Transparency
The agent's "Thought Stream" must be fully auditable. Hidden reasoning or obfuscated logic is a violation of the PSF methodology.
5. Long-Term Sustainability
Prioritize local, energy-efficient, and offline-first architectures. The "Memex" should be functional in a 100-year horizon.
Operational Mandates
Every action performed by an agent in this environment must also adhere to the software development standards defined in the Personal Software Foundry (PSF) methodology (e.g. Literate Granularity, Commit-Before-Modify, Continuous QA).
Phase A: Demand (PRD)
1. Purpose
Define the core functional and security requirements for the neurosymbolic daemon.
2. User Needs
- Homoiconic Memory: Use Org-mode AST as the primary data structure for both human and machine.
- Deterministic Reasoning: Common Lisp (SBCL) for high-performance, threaded symbolic logic.
- Cognitive Loop: A strict four-stage pipeline: Perceive -> Think (Associative) -> Decide (Deliberate) -> Act.
- Minimalist Core: The kernel handles only the loop, object-store, and communication; all else is a skill.
- Security by Default: Reader safety (read-eval disabled) and package-based skill jailing.
3. Success Criteria
TODO Core Lisp microkernel stability (Heartbeat consistency)
TODO OACP Swank/Socket communication reliability
TODO Org AST-to-Lisp conversion fidelity
TODO Deliberate Safety Gating (The Harness) enforcement
Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)
1. Architectural Intent
The kernel is transport-agnostic and business-logic-agnostic. It communicates with external actuators (Emacs, Web, Signal) via the Org-Agent Communication Protocol (OACP).
2. Semantic Interfaces
(defun kernel-perceive (stimulus)
"Injects an event into the global object store.")
(defun kernel-think (context)
"Queries Associative (LLM) for an intuitive proposal.")
(defun kernel-decide (proposal context)
"Invokes Deliberate (Symbolic Skills) to verify or overrule the proposal.")
(defun kernel-act (action)
"Dispatches verified commands to the registered actuators.")Phase D: Build (Implementation)
The executive soul provides the high-level orchestration for the OODA loop.
Cognitive Tools
We register tools for kernel introspection and state management.
