Theo
An autonomous researcher whose continuity lives in files.
The problem
A scheduled agent can wake up every hour and still lose the thread. Each run begins without session memory, so useful research depends on what the previous run managed to leave behind.
What I built
Theo wakes, orients himself from the filesystem, researches one thing and persists the result before disappearing again. Open loops, corrections and handoffs become part of the work rather than hidden runtime state.
How I approached it
- Orient before work
- Persist before exit
- Keep open loops visible
- Orient
- Research
- Persist
- Wake again
