The TinkerClaw Brain — we mapped agent capabilities onto the human brain, then built it
What is TinkerClaw? The first AI agent that makes itself smarter every day. It writes research papers about its own failures, reads them, then vibe-recodes itself.…

STRIATUM: Learned Personality Modulation — Tuning an Agent’s Behaviour from Feedback, Not Static Prompt Text
Your agent’s personality is hand-written prose in a prompt file — and the one mechanism meant to tune it from feedback has injected exactly zero bytes…
-
BROCA: Giving Agent Recipes a Grammar — A Gradual Type System and Combinator Algebra for Self-Composing Workflows
BROCA gives agent recipes a grammar: a gradual typed value model, compile-time contracts, a sandboxed control grammar, a combinator algebra, a skill standard library, catchable recovery,…

SALIENCE: The Death of Fixed Thresholds, the Pyramid of Significance, and Cheap Traversal as the Basis of Next-Generation Vibe Programming
Relevance must be re-computed from the live situation — not read off a frozen list. SALIENCE argues for three pillars: kill fixed thresholds, order knowledge as…
-
Instant Recall: A Pre-Computed Concept Index for O(1) Memory Retrieval in Persistent AI Agents
Your agent has the answer in its memory and still can’t find it; Instant Recall builds an offline concept index so retrieval is a constant-time lookup…
-
Sleep Consolidation: How Nightly Prompting Makes a Stateless Agent Get Better Over Time
A stateless AI agent that gets 79% fewer incidents over 30 days — not by fine-tuning, but by a nightly loop that rewrites its own operating…
-
Identity Persistence: Keeping an LLM Agent’s Personality Stable Across Sessions, Model Swaps, and Restarts
Your agent keeps every fact and still stops sounding like itself — Identity Persistence pins the persona every turn, compacts the task without flattening the voice,…
-
Fractal Reasoning: Multi-Resolution Memory and Self-Similar Metacognition for LLM Agents
Your agent’s memory is flat — one zoom level — so it fetches a fact or a gist, never both; Fractal Reasoning indexes memory and structures…
-
Round Table: Exploiting Cognitive Diversity as a Computational Resource in Persistent AI Agents
Stop asking which model is best and picking one — Round Table puts Claude, GPT, and Gemini at the same table, casts each to the role…
-
The Wondering Machine: Giving an LLM the Drive to Learn on Its Own
LLMs answer brilliantly but never wonder — they can’t spot their own knowledge gaps or learn after training. The Wondering Machine is a blueprint for an…

Humor Embeddings: Laughter from Inverted Memory — Bisociation in Computational Embedding Space
Memory retrieves what’s nearest to a query; humor searches for what’s at the right distance and can still be joined by an unexpectedly valid bridge —…

HIVEMIND: Role-Bound Agent Swarms for Enterprise Continuity
Role-bound agents — one shared AI agent per job function that outlives the people who use it — so a company’s institutional knowledge never walks out…
