-System for turning 1B+ daily tokens into durable, compounding fleet intelligence

+Turn 1B+ daily tokens into durable, compounding fleet intelligence.
+
+## The Problem
+
+20,991 sessions on disk. Each one starts at zero. Every agent rediscover the same HTTP 405 is a branch protection issue. The intelligence from a million tokens of work evaporates when the session ends.
+
+## The Solution
+
+Three pipelines that form a compounding loop:
+
+```
+SESSION ENDS → HARVESTER → KNOWLEDGE STORE → BOOTSTRAPPER → NEW SESSION STARTS SMARTER
+                              ↓
+                         MEASURER → Prove it's working
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Pipeline 1: Harvester
+Reads finished session transcripts. Extracts durable knowledge: facts, pitfalls, patterns, tool quirks. Stores in `knowledge/`.
+
+### Pipeline 2: Bootstrap
+Before a session starts, queries knowledge store for relevant facts. Assembles compact 2k-token context. Injects into session so it starts with full situational awareness.
+
+### Pipeline 3: Measure
+Tracks whether compounding is happening. Knowledge velocity, error reduction, hit rate, task completion. Daily report proves the loop works.

+
+## The 100x Path
+
+```
+Month 1:  15,000 facts, sessions 20% faster
+Month 2:  45,000 facts, sessions 40% faster, first-try success up 30%
+Month 3:  90,000 facts, fleet measurably smarter per token
+```
+
+Each new session is better than the last. The intelligence compounds.
