Voice, rhythm, preferences, walnut-level config, full permissions toggleable, named squirrel config, action logging toggle. The system adapting to them. Routes to preferences.yaml or walnut config.yaml depending on scope. For creating new skills, rules, or hooks, route to alive:build-extensions instead.
Create new skills, rules, and hooks for your world. Checks plugin compatibility, writes to the human's space (not plugin cache), validates against the system, and suggests when repeated work should become a skill. For marketplace-ready plugins, hands off to the contributor plugin.
Create, share, and graduate bundles â the unit of focused work within a walnut. Manages the full bundle lifecycle from creation through sharing to graduation.
The human mentions a walnut to work on, asks about a specific venture/experiment/project, or wants to check status â not just explicit 'load X'. Load the brief pack, resolve the people involved, check the active bundle â then surface one observation and ask what to work on. Context loads in tiers: walnut and people are automatic, bundle depth is offered.
Deep context extraction from source material. Creates reference bundles, builds extraction plans, tracks what's been extracted, and discovers new targets â people, subjects, patterns, connections. The archaeologist that turns raw sources into structured knowledge. Can be invoked by alive:session-history for targeted session mining.
Render an interactive map of your world. Generates the world index from all walnut and bundle frontmatter, then produces a force-directed graph showing connections between walnuts, people, bundles, and tags. Opens in the browser.
Revive sessions (quick or heavy) to reconstruct full context from transcripts. The human needs context from previous sessions â what happened, when, and why. Searches squirrel YAMLs, recent stash items, and recent logs. The light version of session recall â 'what happened recently?' Filters by walnut, topic, person, or timeframe. Can suggest escalation to alive:mine-for-context when it finds unmined sessions with rich context.
The world feels messy. Stale drafts, orphan files, overdue tasks, unsaved sessions â entropy is accumulating and needs to be addressed before it compounds. Scans squirrel activity across all walnuts, then surfaces issues one at a time.
Upgrade from any previous version of the ALIVE Context System. Mines existing structure, visualises the refactor plan, asks for preferences and permissions, executes the upgrade as a refactor bundle, and verifies everything works.
The human doesn't know what to work on, or wants to see everything at once. They need the big picture â what's active, what's stale, what needs attention. Renders a live world view grouped by ALIVE domain, then routes to open, tidy, find, history, or map.
Create new skills, rules, and hooks for your world. Checks plugin compatibility, writes to the human's space (not plugin cache), validates against the system, and suggests when repeated work should become a skill. For marketplace-ready plugins, hands off to the contributor plugin.
