DRAFT — voice-gate 34/100, awaiting prose polish.
Reference content is complete and scrubber-clean. The voice-gate score is below the 70-essay-surface threshold because reference prose carries fewer concrete specifics per paragraph than narrative prose. Cooper revises and ships the live version. Until then, the canonical source is the markdown at docs/dai-architecture-spec-v1.md.
DAI architecture specification — v1
A formal contract for the four-pillar AI-native solo founder operating system. Companion to the methodology paper (the philosophy); this document is the contract.
The full markdown source lives at docs/dai-architecture-spec-v1.md. Sections covered:
- The four pillars (Hermes, OpenClaw, Obsidian, Paperclip) with roles, ports, and workspace paths.
- The skill contract —
SOUL.md + SKILL.md + run.sh, frontmatter, status-line protocol.
- Voice-gate — rubric, weights, threshold calibration by surface, advisory vs. hard.
- Public-content scrubber — financial-data leakage detection, allowlist patterns.
- The 12 P-gates with detection heuristic and triggering incident per gate.
- Monitor-the-monitor (P12) — the heartbeat-collector + silence-detector pattern.
- Improvement-queue promote/reject — the atomic capability loop.
- Continuous Founder pattern — the overnight-founder skill, free local inference.
- Receipt-stream pattern — the hourly operational ticker.
- Meta-skill / self-replicating-skill pattern — the constrained-template scaffolder.
- License — patterns are MIT, runtime is private.
