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

This is the portable foundation, not a coordinator. It defines the small local contract that any shell-capable agent or adapter can use without inheriting a product-specific control plane.

Use it when

Use it when you want the simplest durable continuity surface, need a neutral integration foundation, or want to add layers directly from a repository workflow.

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.
