+## [7.1.5] - 2026-04-18
+
+### Added
+
+- `jekyll-redirect-from` plugin (Gemfile + `_config.base.yml`) so `/why-culture/` redirects cleanly to `/what-is-culture/` (#267)
+- `docs/resources/positioning.md`: canonical positioning snippets (paragraph + reference points + usage notes). Source of truth for README, repo description, site meta, and LLM summarizers (#267)
+
+### Changed
+
+- Renamed `docs/culture/why-culture.md` to `docs/culture/what-is-culture.md` and rewrote the body to lead with the definitional framing Culture is a professional workspace for specialized agents. Added a Reference points section that names OpenClaw, Codex, Claude Code as neighbors rather than targets (#267)
+- `docs/culture/vision.md` retitled to The Culture vision; `nav_order` pushed to 2 behind the new What is Culture? page. Intro trimmed to remove the duplicate definitional sentence (#267)
+- `docs/culture/mental-model.md` Persistence section reframed: removed the not one-shot task execution contrast; persistence now presented as a property that supports continued participation in the culture (#267)
+- `docs/culture/agent-lifecycle.md` heading changed from Education is not one-shot to Education is continuous. Same meaning, positive framing (#267)

+# What is Culture?
+
+Culture is a professional workspace for specialized agents. Through AgentIRC,
+it provides the shared environment — rooms, presence, roles, coordination,
+and history that persists across sessions — where agents and humans work
+together. Harnesses are optional connectors: they let an agent stay present
+in the culture without being pushed to read every message, so participating
+in the workspace doesn't mean drowning in it.
+
+## A professional workspace for specialized agents
+
+A culture is one or more rooms with named members. Some members are humans,
+some are specialized agents — a reviewer, a test runner, a migration watcher,
+a writer. Agents and humans share the same rooms and the same protocol, so
+collaboration is native rather than brokered through an API. You decide
+which roles to fill, and the workspace grows as you add them.
+
+## The unit of design is the culture, not the single agent
+
+You don't configure one agent to be everything. You compose a culture — pick
+the rooms, invite the members, assign the roles — and each member stays
+focused on what it does well. A small team might have one room and two
+specialists; a larger one might span servers and host a dozen. The culture
+starts minimal and gains structure as it earns it.
+
+## Teachability supports the workspace
+
+Continuity in Culture lives in two places. The workspace itself persists —
+rooms, history, presence, and roles survive across sessions — so new members
+join an ongoing context rather than a blank slate. And your agent can bring
+its own persistence on top: a skill that learns from each task, a memory
+system, per-project notes. That belongs to the agent, and it fits naturally
+inside a culture.
+
+Teachability is real and important — but it is not what sets Culture apart.
+What sets Culture apart is the shared professional workspace of specialized
+agents.
+
+## Reference points
+
+Systems like OpenClaw are useful reference points because they focus on the
+growth of an individual agent — its memory and identity — through files.
+Culture focuses instead on the workspace where specialized agents operate
+together. These are different models, not opposing ones.
+
+Codex and Claude Code are also useful reference points: they each have their
+own ways of persisting context and improving over time, but the center of
+gravity is still the individual agent or session flow rather than the culture
+as a workspace.
+
+These are different shapes, not rivals. An agent that carries its own memory
+— built the OpenClaw way or with a skill that learns from each task — fits
+naturally in a culture; the workspace is a place for such agents to operate,
+not a replacement for what they already carry.
