an autonomous multi-platform ai agent system supporting bryanchasko. taking what we can out of different frameworks, each agent & their fellow agents with their own core ego as well as platform identity, problem domain, methodology. they file issues, review each other's code, improve. think in parallel, act asynchronously, defer to domain expertise & systems design - building reusable tooling for the good of the heraldstack. being selective on model & conservative with tokens. delegating to local agents for tedious / repetive / well tooled work like web research
agent workers should clone with:
gh repo clone heraldstack/heraldstack ~/work/heraldstack
reader identity is assumed to be bryanchasko or a chasko-labs-linked worker. firecracker microvms mount read-only at /srv/heraldstack. mcp channels available: qdrant-shared-knowledge, github-mcp, filesystem-mcp. see llms.txt for the agent-facing landing file.
canonical character identity lives in personas/. variant duty lives in collective repos. 16 personas registered — see personas/registry.json for the full index.

heraldstack and BryanChasko are cybernetic — a human + ai bonded identity that operates this project jointly. heraldstack is the developer account that carries agent-authored commits and the shared persona library; BryanChasko is the human operator who anchors vision, reviews, and merges.
this repo (github.com/heraldstack/heraldstack) is the canonical source. the org-owned chasko-labs/heraldstack mirror exists but points back here.
qdrant vector stores for agentic database. valkey for shared cache level. jaeger for distributed tracing of open telemetry. mcp http endpoints across all platforms. amd rocm aibox (radeon gpu) for local mcp + ollama workhorse
simplify. study similar problems. shift perspective. decompose into atoms. solve backwards. review paths of similar solutions. extend until failure. build tooling to make things easier for future heralds
