tipi

Portable fleet core for the agentic AI fleet. IDE-agnostic. Consumed by enclosures (vs-tipi, future cursor-tipi, etc.).

What this is

A tipi is a minimal movable shelter — the fleet's gathering place to express, refresh, and refine context. This repo contains the poles and the cover; enclosures pick the location.

Layers consumed

Per the three-layer consciousness ADR (lives in the vault at docs/architecture/three-layer-consciousness.md):

• Body — neural-garden (the =notes vault) + sibling repos + OS
• Mind — OBn (ChromaDB) or Khoj (if it returns), knowledge-graph MCP, MEMORY.md, project_memory.json
• Spirit — OB1 v2 belief-ledger (future)
• Epigenetics (modulating input, not a layer) — Nate's PromptKit

tipi is a view, never a source. All writes go through the runtime CLIs or the consciousness interface.

Shared contract with the infra-context-dashboard

tipi/contract/consciousness-interface.py (Python Protocol) is the source of truth. The schema published as JSON Schema (future Task 9.2 in the plan) is generated from it.

Status

Scaffolding underway. See docs/plans/2026-04-21-tipi-vs-tipi.md in the vault.
