Ongoing personal practice

Beany / Elliott OS

A useful conversation can still leave its most important decisions buried in a chat history.

Beany and Elliott OS are an ongoing attempt to make that context usable in everyday work. Beany is the conversational collaborator; Elliott OS is the surrounding practice of keeping priorities, decisions, and useful knowledge somewhere they can be found again.

A deliberate choice is to keep important decisions in readable notes. Those notes can be searched and connected by the tools, while staying understandable and open to correction by me. A new chat should be able to pick up the work without becoming a competing account of what matters.

This is built with existing agent and knowledge tools, including Hermes, Codex, Claude, and GBrain. My work is in how they fit together, what they are allowed to do, and whether that arrangement helps me think and act with more care.
