Concepts

Skills

Self-contained capabilities your agent can call. Each skill is a folder with a SKILL.md describing what it does and when to use it.

Memory

Long-term facts in MEMORY.md, raw daily notes in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md. Plain Markdown — readable, editable, yours.

Channels

Webchat, terminal, Discord, Signal, mobile. The agent keeps one brain across every surface.

Cron & Heartbeats

Schedule reminders, recurring checks, and proactive work. Heartbeats let the agent check in on its own time.
