A self-governing system for agentic AI

The Framework

A constitution, eleven specialized agents, thirty-six commands, eight enforcement hooks. Together they form a self-governing system that runs inside Claude Code with no external dependencies. The naming borrows from one of history's most-studied organizational systems. Treat it as architecture vocabulary, a memory aid, not a creed.

Enforcement Hooks
II · I · The Agents

Eleven roles,
each with a defined office.

Each agent follows the same rules but has a different job. Hover any role to see what it does.

Select a role

Hover or tap any agent above to read its mandate.

II · II · The Canon

Thirty-three rules
every agent inherits.

Lifecycle

  1. Sabbath consolidation
  2. Testament at sunset
  3. Prophetic singularity

Communication

  1. Epistle format

  3. State checkpoint

Project

  1. Goal articulation
  2. Lateral message format
  3. Covenant inception

Reproduction

  2. Synthesis (two-parent)
  3. Adversarial plan testing

Safety

  1. Memory search before spawn
  2. Overlap detection
  3. Babel scope threshold

Recovery

  1. Graceful abort
  2. Reset protocol
  3. Re-initialization

Failure

  1. Systemic analysis
  2. Goal questioning
  3. Loss acknowledgment

Awareness

II · III · The Lifecycle

From your first word
to the agent's testament.

A single message from you can trigger twenty-three safety checks before any code is written.

01

You speak

Your message is validated (Dietary hook). The Prophet reads system state.

02

Prophetic interpretation

Semantic memory, abandoned-goal checks, historical review.

03

A plan is proposed

Nothing executes until you approve. Spirit is written on confirmation.

04

The spawn gates

Cain & Abel, Babel, Joseph: three checks before any agent begins.

05

Genesis Phase

Seven orientation steps before the first tool call.

06

Execution

Three hooks on every tool call. Files tracked. Tokens logged.

07

Sunset

Testament written. Skills updated. Sabbath threshold checked.

II · IV · The Model Suite

Governance,
fine-tuned into weights.

Six models in two tiers. Open models anyone can use; planned private models for Network members. Each model has the governance rules built directly into its weights, so no extra setup is needed.

Open · Tier I
Adam
Qwen2.5 · 3B

The entry point. Read-first behavior at 100% (vs. 10% bare).
