Knowledge Vaults

Four-Tier Knowledge
Architecture

Institutional knowledge that compounds. Every observation becomes a rule, every rule becomes knowledge, every knowledge file shapes agent behavior. Persistent across sessions and tool switches.

Architecture

Layered Knowledge, Unified Access

Each tier builds on the one below. The materialization pipeline merges all layers at runtime, with higher tiers overriding lower.

L1 vault-flexor/

Platform Knowledge

Core platform knowledge shared across all Flexor installations. Defines agent behavior, skill specifications, system rules, and domain best practices. The foundation layer - every other tier overrides it.

52 agent definitions 31 composable skills 4 system rule files 257 knowledge files Architecture guides Best practice patterns
L2 vault-plexifact/

Company Knowledge

Organization-specific knowledge that differentiates your operations. Brand guidelines, pricing frameworks, competitive intelligence, SOPs, and team structure - version-controlled and merged on top of L1.

12 domain-specific agents 4 company-scoped skills 111 knowledge files Brand & voice guidelines Pricing & positioning Industry playbooks
L3 vault-personal/

Personal Knowledge

Individual context that follows you across projects. Voice, writing style, decision patterns, and working preferences. Layers on top of company knowledge - overrides L2 and L1 for the same entity.

102 personal knowledge files 1 personal rules file Voice & writing style Decision patterns Individual workflows Working preferences
L4 flexor/.materialized/

Project Knowledge

Active context for the current engagement. Materialized from all lower tiers then extended with project-specific rules, task memory, and session observations. The most specific layer - overrides everything below.

Project-specific rules Active task memory Session observations Working drafts Engagement decisions Materialized context
L4 > L3 > L2 > L1 Higher tier overrides lower at merge time

How It Works

Materialization Pipeline

At task time, the vault engine merges relevant knowledge from all layers into a unified context window for the active agent.

01

Observe

Agent notices a pattern, preference, correction, or new insight during daily work.

02

Record

Observation is written to the appropriate vault layer as structured, searchable knowledge.

03

Promote

Recurring patterns are promoted upward: observations become rules, rules become knowledge files.

04

Materialize

At runtime, all layers merge. Higher tiers override lower. Agent behavior shaped automatically.

Features

Built for Teams That Need Knowledge They Can Trust

Every feature designed for version-controlled, auditable, scalable institutional knowledge.

Version-Controlled

Every knowledge file is a git-tracked file. Full history, rollback, diff, and audit. Knowledge management with the same toolchain as code.

Override Composition

L4 wins over L3 wins over L2 wins over L1. Same entity in two tiers? Higher tier is used. Unique entity in one tier? Included as-is. No conflicts - just precedence.

Section Merge

Rules files with complementary sections can opt into H2-level deep merge instead of whole-file replacement. Add merge-strategy: section to frontmatter.

Provenance Tracking

Every entity in the materialized view records which vault it resolved from. flexor why <entity> shows exactly where the active version came from.

Compounding Knowledge

A System That Compounds Institutional Intelligence

Flexor's knowledge vaults form a continuous learning loop. Every interaction generates observations. Observations become rules. Rules become knowledge. Knowledge shapes future behavior.

The result: a system that preserves what works across sessions and surfaces lessons where the work happens - not in a separate documentation tool that nobody reads.
