Agent-Native OS / Workshop Day

Today's build, top to bottom.

Every section teaches to the whole room. Then you build. Each checkpoint below adds one piece of your Morning Brief, in order. Follow the 4D guided path to a working brief, or take the 8D track deeper, live with Tyler, in its own room.

4D the guided path, nobody left behind 8D opt-in, goes deeper in its own room

4D ends here A working Morning Brief, delivered to you daily, plus a clear map of the whole system.

8D ends here The deeper build, not the MVP: an extensible fleet, live tracing, memory merged across machines, and an automated multi-channel brief.

Get set up Pre-flight

Claude Code walkthrough, settings, and connectors, taught to everyone. You leave this section with a working setup, guided, nobody left behind.

Welcome + vision Pre-flight

The vision, the repo-is-the-school arc, and a live "what's possible" demo. The map of what you are building today and why it matters.

What is an agent-native OS The agent-OS stack
S1
Sub-agents + fleets Build

What a fleet is (sub vs background vs team), and how to deploy agents you already have.

4D checkpoint: three research sub-agents running from one prompt, plus a reusable research agent for your brief. 8D checkpoint: a reusable fleet SKILL wired into your brief, with model tiers you can swap.
Step 1 · 4D
4DBuild Run three research agents at once Paste one prompt, watch three sub-agents work in parallel, and keep one as a reusable research agent for your brief. you run one paste-in prompt Open the build →
Step 1 · 8D
8DDeeper Build a fleet SKILL you extend live Add roles, swap model tiers and watch the cost change, and wire the fleet into your brief. A customizable team, not a one-shot prompt. live pack in the 8D room Open the 8D card →
S2
Connect your data Build

Tool selection: what to feed your brief, and how to connect it cleanly.

4D checkpoint: one source (email or calendar) and one research tool, feeding a focused daily brief. 8D checkpoint: multiple sources, a sub-agent per source, and a memory-recall step feeding the brief.
Step 2 · 4D
4DBuild Connect your first source Use the built-in connectors: one Gmail, one calendar, four clicks. Add one research tool. Your brief now has real inputs. you use built-in connectors Open the build →
Step 2 · 8D
8DDeeper Go wide with a source per agent Multiple sources (email, calendar, Slack, iMessage) plus Exa and Firecrawl, a sub-agent per source, and a memory-recall step. A brief that reflects your whole world. live pack in the 8D room Open the 8D card →
S3
Security + secrets Build

Trust and permissions, auto mode, backups, and why a vault. Then you wire one.

4D checkpoint: keys in a vault, Vercel and Supabase wired, a deploy-ready project with safe secrets. 8D checkpoint: live tracing on every agent action, plus multi-account access.
Step 3 · 4D
4DBuild Vault your keys, wire your deploy Keys into the vault, Vercel and Supabase connected, secrets safe. Your real values never touch a file or this chat. you run infisical + connect Vercel/Supabase Open the build →
Step 3 · 8D
8DDeeper Trace every agent action Wire live tracing so you have x-ray vision into what your agents do and what they cost, plus multi-account. The observability layer most people never set up. live pack in the 8D room Open the 8D card →
S4
Knowledge + memory Cairns 101

The foundational concept of the whole system, taught from zero: the memory layers and the origin story.

4D checkpoint: your second brain, built from your own Claude history, searchable, on your machine. 8D checkpoint: memory merged across all your machines, on the path to semantic plus graph search.
Step 4 · 4D
4DBuild Your first Cairn from your history Build a searchable second brain from your own Claude history. It remembers what you have worked on, on your machine. you run cairns-init + cairns-ingest Open the build →
Step 4 · 8D
8DDeeper Merge memory across machines Merge memory across all your machines (Claude and Codex) live, and see the path to semantic plus graph search. One brain across your whole setup. live pack in the 8D room Open the 8D card →
S5
Ship your Morning Brief Capstone

How every piece connects into one system, then you deploy it.

4D checkpoint: your Morning Brief deployed and delivered to you daily. A live brief that is yours. 8D checkpoint: a scheduled, multi-channel brief, on the way to a full command center.
Step 5 · 4D
4DCapstone Deploy your Morning Brief Everything you built today, connected into one system and deployed. A live morning brief, delivered to you every day. you run /build-morning-brief Open the build →
Step 5 · 8D
8DDeeper Schedule it, deliver it everywhere Add scheduling, extra delivery channels, and more sources. An automated, multi-channel brief, on its way to a full command center. live pack in the 8D room Open the 8D card →
Field notes

It is okay if you do not finish today.

Everyone learns the same concepts. The 4D path gets you a working Morning Brief; the 8D track goes deeper, live, in its own room. You can switch rooms during build blocks if your pace changes. Can't make a section? You will get the recording, and the skills are in your repo to run on your own. Browse the full Library for everything beyond today.
