Read `docs/architecture.md` to understand the full component specification 2. Check the relevant package directory under `packages/` for existing code 3. Read `packages/shared/src/` for shared types and utilities 4. Implement the component following these rules: - Use the loose schema principle (required fields + `[key: string]: unknown`) - Follow the naming conventions from architecture (Axis, Scout, Sentinel, Journal, Bridge, Gear) - Maintain component boundaries — no direct cross-component calls - All inter-component communication goes through Axis message passing 5. Write unit tests alongside the implementation 6. Run `npm run typecheck` and `npm run test` to verify ## Architecture Reference - Axis: deterministic runtime, no LLM dependency, job scheduling, message routing - Scout: LLM planner, execution plans, model selection, context management - Sentinel: safety validator, information barrier, policy enforcement, Sentinel Memory - Journal: memory system (episodic/semantic/procedural), reflection, Gear Synthesizer - Bridge: React SPA + Fastify API, WebSocket streaming, authentication - Gear: sandboxed plugins, declarative manifests, three origins (builtin/user/journal) --- > Converted and distributed by [TomeVault](https://tomevault.io/claim/shreyasdbz) — claim your Tome and manage your conversions.
