# Compounding 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.
