Personal R&D Frontier

This folder is an AI-maintained map of high-signal curiosity threads already latent in the Tech vault.

Source material for this first pass:

• SWAP
• Pathfinder - Proposed Curiosity Agent Stack
• Pathfinder - Curiosity Stack Implementation
• Pathfinder Orchestration Architecture
• OpenClaw Observer VM for Agent Observability
• ClickHouse MCP for Dataservice Trace Analysis
• Bastion - Cursor as Primary Runtime Plan

Maintained notes:

• interest-map
• open-loops
• curiosity-backlog
• recently-explored

Current Top Recommendations

1. Agent workflow observability for personal runtimes
2. Personal spending ingestion and reconciliation pipeline
3. Curated MCP layer for observability and trace analysis

Maintenance Rules

• Preserve source notes; this folder synthesizes and links rather than rewriting them.
• Prefer 5-10 high-signal threads over broad topic lists.
• Mark claims as uncertain when they are inferred from notes rather than directly stated.
• Keep statuses current: unexplored, active, parked, or recently explored.
