Docs

carbon6 is designed in the open. Each document records the goals, the decisions and, once built, how the build differs from the design. To use carbon6, start with the install guide and the guide.

Requirements

What carbon6 is for, and what it must and must not do.

Architecture

The head, workers and memex, the protocol between them, and where every piece of state lives.

An operating system for agents

The OS

Realms, grants, collections, decisions, triggers, series and views: apps built from configuration alone.

Packages

Apps, kits and libraries, installed from a registry with the permissions they ask for.

Realm explorer

Everything a realm holds, and how its parts connect, one click from each other.

Features

The assistant

An agent that can do anything you can do in the UI, and answer questions about your setup.

Subagents

Subagents as sessions of their own: watched live, stopped, and continued with their history.

Memex

A knowledge store for your sessions, documents, mail and photos, searchable by meaning.

Slide decks

From a prompt to an outline, a look, and slides checked by eye.

Project

Releases and CI

How a release is cut, built, tested and published, and how CI runs the same commands you do.

The website

How this site is generated with Leptos and published to GitHub Pages.

Designs on the shelf

Measurement

Measuring the leverage agents give you. Designed, not built.

Follow-through

Sessions that see their work through after the push. Built, then mostly removed.
