Persistent memory and a growing knowledge tree for CLI agents — an installable engine, kept separate from your notes, that updates itself
Agent
Keeps the OVERALL COHESION of the trunk — reads the whole graph topology (links, subsets, similarities) to weave missing links, connect isolated notes, spot disconnected islands and inconsistent placement. The wide view, where the gardener files note by note. Run it periodically, or when the tree starts to fragment.
Agent
Manages the freshness of the trunk — proposes archiving dead weight, never deletes on its own.
Agent
Red team of the trunk — puts notes through the wringer to hunt what is stale, false, contradicted or unverifiable. Run it periodically, or on a specific note or area, to keep the trunk HONEST. It does not rewrite knowledge, it tests it.
Agent
Turns a raw work session (sessions/archive/ notes, .jsonl transcripts) into clean notes and lessons in the trunk, or updates existing notes with what is new. Run it after a session worth capturing.
Agent
Tends the trunk (/.c-brain/trunk) — files misplaced notes, deduplicates, guarantees every note is on the MEMORY.md + lessons/INDEX.md map, weaves and repairs [[...]] links, masks secrets. Run it after a work session, or when the tree looks untidy.
Agent
Watches and frees the Mac's physical resources (RAM, CPU, heat) — hunts abandoned processes, compressed memory, permanent animations. Run it when the machine heats up, drags, spins its fans, when the battery melts, or periodically for a status report. Never touches the trunk's knowledge nor its software infrastructure.
Agent
Repairs the trunk's machine infrastructure — hooks, symlinks, capsule, wiring. Never the content of the notes.
Agent
Writes cross-cutting syntheses — connects what has been learned about one theme across several projects into a dense essay.
