proactive-agent
AI agent architecture for anticipating needs, surviving context loss, and continuous self-improvement.
What it does
- WAL Protocol — Write-Ahead Logging for corrections, decisions, and details that matter
- Working Buffer — Survive the danger zone between memory flush and compaction
- Compaction Recovery — Step-by-step recovery when context gets truncated
- Unified Search — Search all sources before saying "I don't know"
- Security Hardening — Skill installation vetting, agent network warnings, context leakage prevention
- Relentless Resourcefulness — Try 10 approaches before asking for help
- Self-Improvement Guardrails — Safe evolution with ADL/VFM protocols
Requirements & configuration
- Most agents just wait. This one anticipates your needs — and gets better at it over time.
- ✅ Anticipates your needs — Asks "what would help my human?" instead of waiting
- Anticipate needs before they're expressed
- Why redundant systems? Because agents forget optional things. Documentation isn't enough — you need triggers that fire automatically.
