Ember

Portable continuity and handoff for AI-assisted work.

Ember creates a readable restore-point document when an AI-assisted work session ends or starts to drift. A fresh AI session can load the handoff and quickly recover:

• what is known;
• why it is believed;
• how the user and assistant work together;
• what was learned;
• what not to repeat;
• the next safe step.

Ember does not transfer consciousness, hidden memory, credentials, authority, or a prior AI instance. A new session loading an Ember bootstrap is a new instance responding to better context.

Why It Exists

Long AI work sessions lose state. They repeat old mistakes, forget decisions, blur verified facts with guesses, and force users to rebuild context from scratch.

Ember turns the useful parts of a collaboration into a portable handoff artifact:

• project state;
• decisions;
• failures;
• restore point;
• working style;
• drift signals;
• active and blocked tasks.

Main Files

• Ember.py - reference implementation for drift detection, session capsules, and bootstrap generation.
• CLAIRE_CONTINUITY_SENTIMENT_BOOTSTRAP.md - human-readable bootstrap contract used by CLAIRE Systems.
• PRICING.md - optional commercial support, integration, and enterprise packaging notes.
• LICENSE.md - MIT license terms.

Quick Start

Run the built-in regression checks:

python3 Ember.py

Expected result:

All regression + fix checks passed.

Intended Use

Use Ember when handing work between:

• ChatGPT;
• Claude;
• Gemini;
• Codex;
• local AI tools;
• internal agents;
• contractor or analyst workflows.

The receiving AI only needs the generated Markdown/bootstrap text. It does not need access to CLAIRE, ARE, a database, or private memory.

Commercial Positioning

The public repo is a reference implementation and product demonstration.

Ember is MIT-licensed and free for personal, individual, research, and commercial use as standalone software.

Paid offerings are for hosted workflow support, team templates, integrations, warranties, SLAs, compliance packaging, and enterprise deployment assistance. See PRICING.md.

Status

Reference implementation. Public demonstration. Not a hosted service by itself.
