Use this library for durable institutional knowledge that should be available to all agents. Do not use shared Hermes memories for this. Hermes memories are agent-local and should remain private to each agent instance.

What belongs here

Stable architecture facts about Omega13, Agent0, Gerhard, gutasktool, and Glitch University infrastructure.
Deployment and operation runbooks.
Shared conventions and policies.
Non-secret institutional lore that should survive container rebuilds and be reviewable in Git.

What does not belong here

Secrets, passwords, tokens, API keys, SSH private keys, cookies, or auth files.
Runtime databases, logs, session transcripts, caches, generated scheduler output, or lock files.
Temporary task progress that belongs in gutask.
Agent-local personal memory that belongs in that agent's own Hermes memory.

Agent startup convention

On wake, agents that mount this library should read:

/knowledge/README.md
Relevant files under /knowledge/architecture/
Relevant files under /knowledge/conventions/
Relevant files under /knowledge/runbooks/ for the task at hand

Gerhard should especially read:

/knowledge/architecture/agent0-omega13.md
/knowledge/architecture/gerhard-hermes.md
/knowledge/conventions/memory-policy.md
/knowledge/runbooks/gutasktool-development.md

Mental model

Hermes memory is the private notebook of one agent.
This knowledgebase is the shared library of the institution.
Skills are reusable tools and procedures.
gutask is the work board.
Festinger / Glitch University backend is the living world model and operational database.
Sessions and logs are smoke. Useful for debugging, not canonical memory.
