AI Workspace Core
Reusable operating layer for AI-assisted professional workspaces.
The core is project-independent. It defines how an AI agent should maintain file-based memory, ingest communication evidence, draft recurring updates, and adjust its own commands, prompts, and skills when reusable behavior changes.
Core Responsibilities
- Maintain operational memory across sessions
- Separate imported evidence from promoted memory
- Provide reusable command and prompt patterns
- Support project profiles without embedding project-specific facts in the core
- Keep tooling behavior editable by the agent when the user corrects recurring output
Project Profiles
Each real project should provide a profile under profiles/<project>/.
A profile declares:
- project name and audience
- active communication sources
- ticket/work-item system
- manager or stakeholder mapping
- domain-specific context files
- enabled commands and skills
The core should never require a specific company, codebase, manager, channel name, ticket prefix, or programming stack.
Memory Layers
daily: facts from a specific workdaystate: current active focus and near-term constraintswork-items: canonical memory for active units of workstable-context: durable system, domain, process, or architecture knowledgepeople: role, stakeholder, and collaboration memorydecisions: confirmed decisions with ongoing impacttooling-behavior: reusable rules that change commands, prompts, skills, or agent behavior
See core/memory/operational-memory.md for the detailed rules.
Integration Model
Integrations extract evidence. They do not decide what becomes memory.
- live communication connectors write recent evidence to
ai/inbox/ - historical archive connectors write selected evidence to
scripts/<source>/generated/ - the agent promotes only high-confidence, project-relevant facts into memory
See core/integrations/communication-model.md for the reusable connector contract.
Knowledge Navigation
Optional navigation layers such as Obsidian should read the same Markdown files instead of copying memory into a second store.
See core/integrations/obsidian-model.md for the recommended vault model.
The project-agnostic memory interface lives in scripts/memory/ and is documented in core/integrations/memory-vault-model.md. Agents should use that interface for note creation, project knowledge search, Base queries, and health checks, while still editing Markdown directly for precise curation.
