Pick any line to see why it is the way it is: the commit, the pull request and issue it came from, and what the agent was thinking.
| Agents work in sessions: bounded, visible, steerable work spun off from chat, with subagents and colleagues in a tree paid by its root; memory with sources and scopes; routines; a workspace budget for every agent; agents file issues for whoever asked | 1 | /** |
| 2 | * What an agent remembers (docs/WORKSPACE.md, "What an agent can and can't | |
| 3 | * know"). Agents know nothing between turns but what they read through | |
| 4 | * tools; memory is the one exception, so its rules are code, not prompt: | |
| 5 | * | |
| 6 | * - Every fact keeps its source (a message, a session, or the person who | |
| 7 | * wrote it) and its scope. | |
| 8 | * - **Recall** follows the scope. A `workspace` fact is recalled anywhere; | |
| 9 | * a `channel` fact only in that conversation; a `person` fact only in a | |
| 10 | * direct message with that one person. So nothing said in a private | |
| 11 | * place reaches an audience that couldn't read it there. | |
| 12 | * - **Writing** follows the conversation. An agent remembers into the | |
| 13 | * narrowest scope the conversation allows: a DM with one person is that | |
| 14 | * person's, anything else is that conversation's, and only a public | |
| 15 | * channel, which every member can read already, may write a | |
| 16 | * `workspace` fact. Owners write workspace facts by hand. | |
| 17 | * - **Seeing and changing** follows recall: whoever could have it recalled | |
| 18 | * for them sees it, and may correct or forget it. Workspace facts are | |
| 19 | * changed by owners. A person's own facts are theirs alone; owners don't | |
| 20 | * read them. | |
| 21 | * | |
| 22 | * Pure apart from its statements, so the rules are tested adversarially. | |
