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.
