# agent-wiki

Agent-first protocols for memory, active workspace, skill lifecycle, councils, and stewardship—with explicit maturity, evidence, and conformance boundaries.

This is a generated machine-readable index. The source repository and `protocols.yaml` remain authoritative.

## Start here

- [Protocol manifest](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/protocols.yaml) — Canonical ids, versions, maturity, vocabularies, dependencies, artifacts, and usecase evidence.
- [Agent Adoption Guide](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-adoption-guide.md) — Select one protocol and its smallest sufficient binding.
- [Repository README](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/README.md) — Positioning, source authority, and contribution boundaries.

## Select by current problem

| Current problem | Start with | Minimum | First artifact or action |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Useful context must survive sessions | [Memory](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-memory.md) | `memory:L0` | Capture one concise, source-aware memory item in a small inbox/store. |
| A user wants a failed run or prior conclusion to stop influencing future work | [Memory](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-memory.md#121-forget-is-a-routing-request-not-one-destructive-verb) | `memory:L0` | Separate current context, external execution effects, and durable Memory; use non-admission or a bounded withdrawal before considering erasure. |
| A corpus needs weak lateral exploration | [Auto-Walk](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-auto-walk.md) | `auto-walk:L0` | Run one manual walk and write hypotheses outside Memory. |
| Imported or relationship-formed procedures need governed adoption and evolution | [Skill Lifecycle](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-skill-lifecycle.md) | `skill:L0` | Record one candidate's provenance, version, surfaces, authority decision, and rollback target. |
| The wrong information is active during a task | [Active Workspace](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-active-workspace.md) | `active-workspace:L0` | Maintain one bounded in-context goal/evidence/assumption/action snapshot. |
| An Agent needs a short self-guidance cue | [Inner Speech](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-inner-speech.md) | `inner-speech:L0` | Apply one explicit cue with a trigger and expiry condition. |
| A decision needs inspectable competing views | [Council](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-council.md) | `council:L0` | Create a GoalContract, candidates, ConflictMap, and DecisionRecord. |
| One human wants one interface over many executors | [Steward](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/agent-first-steward.md) | `steward:S1` | Issue one bounded WorkOrder and integrate one ResultEnvelope. |
| Several chosen protocols must cooperate | [Composition guide](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/composable-agent-cognition.md) | `composition:C1` | Put a shared envelope around the first cross-protocol artifact. |
| Several participants need governed shared standing over existing artifacts | [Governed Shared Memory profile](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/governed-shared-memory-profile.md) | `No level; design-only guide` | Read a declared space or propose one without silently creating authority. |
| Governed artifacts or a binding must be backed up, restored, or moved | [Governed Artifact Portability and Recovery guide](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/governed-artifact-portability-recovery.md) | `No level; design-only guide` | Classify state into the four planes before copying anything. |
| Governed artifacts must remain available across independently usable bindings while updates continue | [Governed Artifact Replication and Exchange guide](https://agentwiki.iceaka.com/docs/governed-artifact-replication-exchange.md) | `No level; design-only guide` | Test the selection gate before proposing an ExchangeContract; never auto-enable exchange. |
