What it is

The MIT-licensed, harness-neutral continuity primitive: an append-only project-local store, a reference library, validators, and a command-line interface for writing layers beside work.

What is different

The primitive repository documents the portable continuity foundation and its reference implementation. Start with aethermind-engine for the new central core, and consult this repository when inspecting the primitive contract or an existing primitive installation.

Use it when

Use it to inspect the primitive format and validators, or maintain an existing integration that explicitly targets this repository. New core exploration starts with aethermind-engine.

Do not mistake it for

It is not a task manager, a chat log, or a retrieval index. The store holds only load-bearing decisions, corrections, uncertainty, friction, evidence, and verification posture.

Start here

A bounded first move.

The repository README is the authority for prerequisites, release status, and integration details. This sequence establishes the right starting posture before you turn it into a workflow.

  1. Initialize a local .aethermind directory beside the work.
  2. Append one decision that would change a successor's first inspection or verification.
  3. Validate the local store before adding a harness adapter.
