Minsky · cyberbrain substrate
The cyberbrain for software organizations.
Minsky orchestrates tasks, sessions, and review across a flock of agents — a substrate that extends one principal's cognition, not a synthetic workforce that replaces your team.
The substrate
Eight surfaces. One substrate.
The flock operates on a common substrate. Each surface is a real organ of the cognitive system — not a marketing tile.
Sessions · Scene 01
Sessions that isolate.
Each task gets its own session workspace — branch, env, file scope. The agent never operates on main; the principal never adjudicates a merge conflict that came from agent-side drift.
Substrate · Scene 02
Tools that compose.
Minsky exposes its substrate over MCP — tasks, sessions, memory, review — so a flock of agents reads the same surface. One contract, every harness.
Tools that compose.
Recorded exception (mt#2920) — no clean live-capture path for this surface yet; brand-tokened placeholder stands in.
Cockpit · Scene 03
Attention that allocates.
The cockpit renders the principal's working set: in-flight tasks, open PRs, asks awaiting decision, hook denials worth knowing about. Mission-control density, not consumer-app whitespace.
Review · Scene 04
Reviews that hold.
minsky-reviewer[bot] reviews every PR adversarially with a cross-family model and no implementer context. Chinese-wall by construction; merges block until the reviewer converges.

Graph · Scene 05
Tasks that converge.
Tasks decompose into subtasks and resolve as a DAG. The status state-machine is enforced in the domain layer — TODO → PLANNING → READY → IN-PROGRESS → IN-REVIEW → DONE — not as convention.
Memory · Scene 06
Memory that compounds.
Durable findings land in the Minsky memory store and surface on demand. The same lesson never has to be relearned across sessions, harnesses, or agents.
Hooks · Scene 07
Hooks that catch.
Structural guardrails fire at the action surface — branch-freshness, contract-propagation, bypass-merge, generated-file edits. The agent runs into the wall before the principal does.
Asks · Scene 08
Decisions that surface.
When a choice is principal-reserved — naming, framework selection, scope change — Minsky packages the question and the options instead of guessing. The principal stays load-bearing on principal-level decisions.
