System Map

A personal multi-agent operating system built around a central Git-backed markdown vault that acts as the shared brain for all AI agents. Different models for different jobs: Claude Code for deep terminal work, Manus for architecture reviews, ChatGPT for ad-hoc reasoning, Claude.ai for long-context thinking.

Everything agents do is logged, enriched, and compiled into a unified time-axis calendar, producing a searchable history of every decision and action taken across the workspace. A public gateway (HoldThought) lets external AIs interact with the vault under quarantine until writes are approved. A commercial surface (dxdev.com) publishes technical posts and HTO marketing content.

1. Station Topology

Where work happens, and what each station can access. Solid lines are current; dashed are planned or limited.

7. Cockpit and Public Surfaces

Four surfaces, kept deliberately separate: a private tailnet-only cockpit, HoldThought (personal public gateway), dxdev.com (commercial public surface), and Personal Command (planned web command center).
