Zeref OS Wiki

Zeref OS

Local-first context and memory engine for AI-assisted work. Harness-agnostic · Model-agnostic · Privacy-first · Free

Named after Zeref Dragneel from Fairy Tail — the immortal scholar who carried ancient knowledge across forms and ages. Zeref OS is built in that lineage: long-horizon memory, faithful to the user's accumulated decisions, portable across every AI harness.

Current version: v2.6.1 (June 8, 2026) — CHANGELOG · docs/RELEASE_LOG.md · Notion Command Center

Rubric: 9.88/10 (8 dims, every score cites artifact) — tests/zeref-rubric-v2.6.md

What Zeref OS is (one paragraph, v2.6.1)

Per-project flat memory/ wiki in plain markdown, append-only PATTERNS.jsonl event log with schema validator, point-in-time snapshots, contradiction safety with human arbitration, three privacy modes (exact / abstract / local-only), six on-demand team packs, cross-harness handoff format with caveman-grammar compression, and a 4-gate auto-activation chain (budget-governorskill-routerfleet-activatorprompt-context-engine) that classifies every major task on cost weight, picks the smallest useful skill stack, probes extended-tool reachability, and restructures unstructured prompts before any token spend. AI sessions become cumulative across every harness you use.

v2.6 four-gate chain (every major task)

[budget-governor]      classify weight (CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) + match model tier
       ↓
[skill-router]         pick smallest stack (1 lead + 2-3 support + 1 QA, max 5 skills)
       ↓
[fleet-activator]      live-probe ECC / claude-obsidian / Graphify / browser-harness / notebooklm / gstack
       ↓
[prompt-context-engine] classify STRUCTURED / SEMI-STRUCTURED / UNSTRUCTURED; restructure if needed; R6 zero context loss
       ↓
                       execute (declared stack, declared brief, declared tier)
       ↓
[caveman-handoff]      compress cross-model handoff (40-60% reduction; NFKC + R6 diff)

Each gate declares its result inline. User can override before token spend. Per AGENTS.md ## Auto-Activation Gates.
