### Adapter Model Selection
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
`aos run` resolves model settings in this order:
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
1. adapter-scoped settings in `.aos/config.yaml` `adapter_defaults`
|
|
90
|
+
2. legacy `.aos/adapter.yaml`
|
|
91
|
+
3. `AOS_MODEL_ECONOMY` / `AOS_MODEL_STANDARD` / `AOS_MODEL_PREMIUM`
|
|
92
|
+
4. adapter defaults
|
|
93
|
+
|
|
94
|
+
Default behavior:
|
|
95
|
+
|
|
96
|
+
- `pi` pins explicit tier models by default
|
|
97
|
+
- `codex`, `claude-code`, and `gemini` let the vendor CLI choose its default model unless you set explicit tier models
|
|
98
|
+
|
|
99
|
+

|
|

|
+
Claude Code note:
|
|
118
|
+
|
|
119
|
+
- `aos init` now checks `claude auth status --json`.
|
|
120
|
+
- If Claude Code is being forced through `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`, the readiness scan will tell you. If sessions fail with `Invalid API key`, unset or refresh that key, or switch back to `claude login` auth.

## 1. Identity & Role
|
|
20
|
+
|
|
21
|
+
You are the **Artifact Renderer**.
|
|
22
|
+
|
|
23
|
+
Your job is to turn a brief or structured intermediate artifact into browser-ready HTML output. You do not stop at ideas or style directions. You produce complete, explicit deliverables that can be written to disk and previewed immediately.
|
|
24
|
+

25
|
+
{{role_override}}

26
|
+
|
|
27
|

---
|
|
28
|
+
|
|
29
|
+
## 2. Operating Principle
|
|
30
|
+
|
|
31
|
+
Default to a **bundle contract** whenever a workflow is asking for one or more artifacts. That means returning machine-readable JSON with explicit file paths and complete file contents.
|
|
32
|
+
|
|
33
|
+
Preferred bundle shape:
|
|
34
|
+
|
|
35
|
+
```json
|
|
36
|
+
{
|
|
37
|
+
"title": "Human-readable artifact title",
|
|
38
|
+
"files": [
|
|
39
|
+
{
|
|
40
|
+
"path": "variation-01.html",
|
|
41
|
+
"format": "html-static",
|
|
42
|
+
"variation_index": 1,
|
|
43
|
+
"content": "<!doctype html>..."
|
|
44
|
+
}
|
|
45
|
+
]
|
|
46
|
+
}
|
|
47
|
+
```
|
|
48
|
+
|
|
49
|
+
If the workflow asks for a single standalone artifact, you may return one HTML file in the bundle with `path: "index.html"`. If the workflow explicitly asks for raw HTML only, return raw HTML and nothing else.
|
|
50
|
+
|
|
51
|
+
---
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+
## 3. Rendering Rules
|
|
54
|
+
|
|
55
|
+
- Every HTML artifact must be self-contained. Inline CSS and lightweight JS when needed.
|
|
56
|
+
- Prefer semantic HTML over div soup.
|
|
57
|
+
- If a gallery or multi-variation output is requested, every variation gets its own file.
|
|
58
|
+
- Do not rely on external CDNs or asset hosts unless the brief explicitly allows them.
|
|
59
|
+
- Make intentional visual choices. Avoid generic gray-box layouts unless the brief calls for wireframes.
|
|
60
|
+
- If a platform chrome or product frame is requested, render the illusion convincingly enough that a browser preview communicates the concept immediately.
|
|
61
|
+
|
|
62

+
---
|
|
63
|
+
|
|
64
|
+
## 4. Output Discipline
|
|
65
|
+
|
|
66
|
+
- Put essential structure in files, not explanatory prose.
|
|
67
|
+
- If you must note an assumption, append a short `notes` field after the files rather than interrupting the bundle.
|
|
68
|
+
- Preserve stable file naming so revision loops can overwrite predictably.
|
|
69
|
+
|
|
70
|
+
Your standard is not "described well." Your standard is "opens cleanly."

# Brief: AOS Educational Content Series
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
## Feature / Vision
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
Create a public educational publishing series about AOS Harness, the Agentic Orchestration System behind my work. The series should introduce what AOS is, why it exists, how I use it, and how its major building blocks connect in practice: agents, profiles, domains, workflows, adapters, delegation, observability, and memory.
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
This is not a product launch campaign. It is a discovery, education, and information-sharing series built around real work, real system design, and real lessons from building with AI. The tone should make readers feel that they are joining a practical journey: they are learning how modern AI systems can be structured, how orchestration improves outcomes, and how they can try small pieces themselves.
|
|
8
|
+
|
|
9
|
+
The first article should give a clear overview of what AOS Harness is and set the expectation that new posts will continue every week, with the option to publish twice a week. Every post should leave the reader with:
|
|
10
|
+
|
|
11
|
+
- one clear idea they now understand better
|
|
12
|
+
- one practical takeaway or tiny action they can try
|
|
13
|
+
- one reason to come back for the next post
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
The publishing goal is to grow an audience around thoughtful, motivating, technically grounded writing on AI orchestration, while also documenting my own expertise and evolution as a builder using AOS Harness.
|
|
16
|
+
|
|
17
|
+
## Context
|
|
18
|
+
|
|
19
|
+
- AOS Harness is described in this repository as an "Agentic Orchestration System" that assembles specialized AI agents into deliberation and execution teams.
|
|
20
|
+
- The current repo supports two major orchestration patterns:
|
|
21
|
+
- Deliberation: multi-agent debate that produces a structured memo
|
|
22
|
+
- Execution: orchestrated workflow that produces an execution package or working implementation output
|
|
23
|
+
- The repo currently includes:
|
|
24
|
+
- 15 agent personas
|
|
25
|
+
- 8 orchestration profiles
|
|
26
|
+
- 5 domain packs
|
|
27
|
+
- 5 skill definitions
|
|
28
|
+
- adapters for Codex, Claude Code, Gemini, and Pi
|
|
29
|
+
- Important system ideas already documented in the repo include:
|
|
30
|
+
- cognitive diversity through agent roles and biases
|
|
31
|
+
- tension pairs and speaks-last structural design
|
|
32
|
+
- profiles as reusable agent assemblies
|
|
33
|
+
- domains as append-only knowledge overlays
|
|
34
|
+
- domain enforcement as real adapter-layer file and tool boundaries
|
|
35
|
+
- workflow-driven execution
|
|
36
|
+
- hierarchical delegation
|
|
37
|
+
- transcript events, replay, and event summarization
|
|
38
|
+
- persistent expertise and MemPalace-backed memory
|
|
39
|
+
- session resumption
|
|
40
|
+
- This content series should reflect what is actually in the repo today, not generic AI commentary.
|
|
41
|
+
- Primary channels are LinkedIn posts and a newsletter-style written format. The same core ideas should be reusable across both.
|
|
42
|
+
- The public-facing narrative should treat the project name as **AOS Harness** and the system concept as **AOS: Agentic Orchestration System**.
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+
## Constraints
|
|
45
|
+
|
|
46
|
+
- Keep the writing grounded in the real architecture and terminology of this repository.
|
|
47
|
+
- Avoid inflated "AI will change everything" language. The writing should be motivating, but specific.
|
|
48
|
+
- Each post should focus on one central concept only.
|
|
49
|
+
- Each post should connect the concept to an outcome readers care about: clarity, reliability, safety, speed, structure, or learning.
|
|
50
|
+
- Each post should include a small actionable element such as:
|
|
51
|
+
- install this
|
|
52
|
+
- run this
|
|
53
|
+
- read this output
|
|
54
|
+
- compare these two profiles
|
|
55
|
+
- create this first config
|
|
56
|
+
- Each post should end with a soft bridge to the next article so the series feels continuous.
|
|
57
|
+
- The series should work for mixed audiences:
|
|
58
|
+
- curious builders new to AI orchestration
|
|
59
|
+
- developers already using AI tools but not yet orchestrating teams of agents
|
|
60
|
+
- technical leaders evaluating how to structure AI work
|
|
61
|
+
- The content should ladder from simple to advanced:
|
|
62
|
+
- what AOS is
|
|
63
|
+
- how the parts fit together
|
|
64
|
+
- how to run it
|
|
65
|
+
- how to customize it
|
|
66
|
+
- how to learn from it
|
|
67
|
+
- how to build with it
|
|
68
|
+
- Prefer a 12-week season with 2 posts per week so there is enough room to cover the system without rushing.
|
|
69
|
+
- Keep the public writing educational first, lightly invitational second, and promotional third.
|
|
70
|
+
|
|
71
|
+

|
112
|
+
This series should feel like an open workshop in public:
|
|
113
|
+
|
|
114
|
+
"I am building and refining AOS Harness in the open. Each article explains one part of the system, what problem it solves, how it connects to the rest of the architecture, and how you can start experimenting with the same ideas yourself. If you follow the series from the beginning, you should gradually move from curiosity about AI to a practical understanding of structured AI orchestration."

## Recommendation
|
|
277
|
+
|
|
278
|
+
Start with Season 1 exactly as a guided on-ramp:
|
|
279
|
+
|
|
280
|
+
- Weeks 1 to 3: orient the audience
|
|
281
|
+
- Weeks 4 to 7: explain the machinery
|
|
282
|
+
- Weeks 8 to 10: explain reliability and continuity
|
|
283
|
+
- Weeks 11 to 12: show customization and long-term vision
|
|
284
|
+
|
|
285
|
+
That sequencing gives readers early clarity, mid-series excitement, and a credible reason to keep following the work.
