# NxM Agent OS

A personal agentic operating system built on plain markdown files. Tool-agnostic — works with Claude Code, Ollama, or any LLM harness. Based on the framework from the AI Daily Brief episode "How to Build a Personal Agentic Operating System" (Nufar Gaspar, 2026-04-25).

## How it works

Every agent interaction reads from and writes back to files in this repo. No databases, no APIs, no vendor lock-in. The files ARE the system.

## The seven layers

| Layer | File(s) | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | `identity.md` | Who you are, communication style, values |
| Context | `context/` | Dated, task-specific working files |
| Brain | `brain.md` | Persistent facts — infra, people, decisions |
| Memory | `memory/` | Short and long-term session notes |
| Skills | `skills/` | Repeatable workflows, each self-improving |
| Processes | `skills/*/context/handoff.md` | Output passed between chained skills |
| Automation | cron on 172.27.40.3 | Scheduled skill execution |

## Adding a new skill

1. Create `skills/<skill-name>/skill.md` — what the skill does and how
2. Create `skills/<skill-name>/learnings.md` — starts empty, fills over time
3. Create `skills/<skill-name>/eval.json` — scoring criteria
4. Add a cron job on 172.27.40.3 calling the skill
5. The infra-monitor watchdog will automatically pick it up

## Runtime

- Files live on server: `/opt/agent-os/` (cloned from this repo)
- LLM inference: Ollama at `http://172.27.6.139:11434`
- Scheduled jobs: cron on `172.27.40.3`
- Local editing: `/home/nxm/Documents/agent-os/` on Kubuntu (this machine)
