This package contains comprehensive planning documents for Wendell's "mech suit" cognitive amplification system. Everything here is textual (Markdown) with detailed pseudocode — no implementation code, but ready for development.
01_nate_understanding.md— Enhanced understanding including the deeper context of shadow work, coaching methodology, and the "grammar of ontology" vision.02_questions_for_wendell.md— Expanded questions covering multi-modal capture, relationship dynamics, and configuration approaches.03_design_plan.md— Comprehensive design with enhanced config, sophisticated data models, and detailed operational flows.04_research_summary.md— RAG and agentic techniques specifically tailored for speed-of-thought cognitive amplification.05_prompts_catalog.md— Production-ready system prompts with detailed instructions for each agent, including new voice transcription and book generation capabilities.06_agents_pseudocode_and_prompts.md— Complete agent specifications with enhanced tools, sophisticated pseudocode, and conversation-informed system prompts.
- Pydantic AI as the mandated agent framework
- YAML configuration so Wendell can "tweak the knobs" without code changes
- VS Code + Copilot/MCP integration for development acceleration
- Contradiction embrace as a feature, not a bug
- Citation integrity as intellectual honesty enforcement
This system is designed to be "the mech suit that Wendell needs to do [information extraction and composition] as efficiently and as effectively as possible." It bridges:
- Immediate insight capture (the "that's a Bar" moment)
- Structured knowledge building (relationships, expansions, evidence)
- On-demand book generation (AI agents that can "produce a book at any moment's notice")
All prompts aim to be production-ready for Claude Sonnet. All pseudocode is detailed enough for direct translation to Pydantic AI agents. The configuration schemas are complete and ready for YAML implementation.
Note: Bars are immutable atoms with memetic quality; expansions and relations are editable, versioned artifacts that preserve intellectual honesty through rigorous citation.tarter Package (v2025-08-26)
This package contains planning documents for Wendell’s authoring system. Everything here is textual (Markdown) with pseudocode only — no real code.
Note: Bars are immutable atoms; expansions and relations are editable, versioned artifacts. Config knobs are front-facing (YAML), so Wendell can tweak behavior without touching code.
