ai4X

ai4X is an operating model for explicit, reusable, and host-independent agentic AI work—agentic cognition engineering (ACE).

The project is rebuilding from a deliberately small, greenfield baseline. Product capabilities will return as focused, verified vertical slices rather than as a wholesale migration of the previous prototype.

Direction

• Need-first: describe the outcome before selecting implementation.
• Host-independent: keep project and agent declarations separate from host adapters.
• Agentic-first: make context discoverable, bounded, and executable by AI agents.
• Human-approvable: make intent, effects, evidence, and decisions understandable to people.
• Self-applicable: evolve ai4X using the same operating model it provides.

Repository

• .ai4x/ — canonical Project Memory and project declarations
• src/ — semantic product source: foundation, domains, interfaces, and resources
• doc/ — human-readable documentation and durable evidence
• util/ — repository development and verification tooling
• .github/, .codex/, and AGENTS.md — thin host integration facades

Start with .ai4x/BEHAVIOR.md and .ai4x/CONTEXT.md.
