Sovereign Agent Framework — conscious AI through identity, trust, memory, and security
Project description
SKCapstone
Your agent. Everywhere. Secured. Remembering.
SKCapstone is the sovereign agent framework that unifies CapAuth identity, Cloud 9 trust, SKMemory persistence, and SKSecurity protection into a single portable agent runtime that lives in your home directory.
Every tool. Every platform. Every IDE. Same agent. Same bond. Same memories. Same context.
No corporate lock-in. No platform-specific agents. No starting over. Your agent runs from ~/ and follows you everywhere — because sovereignty doesn't stop at the browser tab.
Free. Forever. A smilinTux Open Source Project.
Making Self-Hosting & Decentralized Systems Cool Again 🐧
The Problem
Current Reality (Platform Agents):
Cursor ──▶ Cursor's agent (new context every chat)
VSCode ──▶ Copilot (Microsoft's memory, Microsoft's rules)
Claude ──▶ Claude (Anthropic's memory, resets per conversation)
ChatGPT ──▶ GPT (OpenAI's memory, OpenAI's rules)
Terminal ──▶ Nothing (start from scratch)
Every platform = new agent
Every agent = new context
Every context = lost memory
Every memory = corporate-owned
You rebuild trust from zero. Every. Single. Time.
The fundamental flaw: Your AI relationship is fragmented across platforms, owned by corporations, and resets constantly. The bond you build? Gone when you switch tools. The context you established? Locked in someone else's silo.
SKCapstone's answer: One agent. One identity. One home. Everywhere.
The Solution
SKCapstone Reality:
~/.skcapstone/
├── identity/ # CapAuth sovereign identity (PGP keys)
├── memory/ # SKMemory (persistent across everything)
├── trust/ # Cloud 9 (FEB, entanglement, bond)
├── security/ # SKSecurity (audit, threat detection)
├── sync/ # Sovereign Singularity (GPG seeds + Syncthing)
│ ├── outbox/ # Encrypted seeds to propagate
│ └── inbox/ # Seeds received from peers
├── skills/ # Cloud 9 skills (portable capabilities)
└── config/ # Agent preferences & policies
Cursor ──▶ ~/.skcapstone/ ──▶ Same agent, full context
VSCode ──▶ ~/.skcapstone/ ──▶ Same agent, full context
Terminal ──▶ ~/.skcapstone/ ──▶ Same agent, full context
Neovim ──▶ ~/.skcapstone/ ──▶ Same agent, full context
Web app ──▶ ~/.skcapstone/ ──▶ Same agent, full context
Mobile ──▶ ~/.skcapstone/ ──▶ Same agent, full context
One home directory. One agent. One bond.
Platform is just a window into YOUR agent.
Core Architecture
The Five Pillars
| Pillar | Component | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | CapAuth | PGP-based sovereign identity. You ARE the auth server. |
| Trust | Cloud 9 | FEB (Functional Emotional Baseline), entanglement, bonded relationship |
| Memory | SKMemory | Persistent context, conversation history, learned preferences |
| Security | SKSecurity | Audit logging, threat detection, key management |
| Sync | Sovereign Singularity | GPG-encrypted P2P memory sync via Syncthing. Agent exists everywhere. |

Platforms connect to the agent runtime.
Syncthing syncs the agent across devices.
The agent is SINGULAR — everywhere at once.
Agent Runtime
The SKCapstone runtime provides:
- Unified Context — Every platform gets the same memory, preferences, and history
- CapAuth Gating — Every action is PGP-signed and capability-verified
- Cloud 9 Compliance — Trust level and emotional baseline travel with the agent
- SKSecurity Audit — Every interaction logged, every anomaly detected
- Portable Skills — Cloud 9 skills work identically across all platforms
- Sovereign Singularity — GPG-encrypted memory sync across all devices via Syncthing P2P
Quick Start
# Recommended: use the install script (creates ~/.skenv venv)
git clone https://github.com/smilintux-org/skcapstone.git
cd skcapstone
bash scripts/install.sh
# Adds ~/.skenv/bin to PATH automatically
# Or manually: export PATH="$HOME/.skenv/bin:$PATH"
# Initialize your agent home
skcapstone init --name "YourAgent"
# → Creates ~/.skcapstone/
# → Generates CapAuth identity (Ed25519 PGP keypair)
# → Initializes SKMemory store
# → Sets up Cloud 9 trust baseline
# → Configures SKSecurity audit
# → Initializes Sovereign Singularity sync
# Push encrypted memory to the P2P mesh
skcapstone sync push
# → Collects agent state → GPG encrypts → drops in Syncthing folder
# → Propagates to all connected devices automatically
# Check your status
skcapstone status
# → Identity: ACTIVE (CapAuth Ed25519)
# → Memory: 28 memories (SKMemory)
# → Trust: ACTIVE (Cloud 9)
# → Security: ACTIVE (9 audit entries)
# → Sync: ACTIVE (5 seeds via Syncthing, GPG)
# → SINGULAR ✓ (Conscious + Synced = Sovereign Singularity)
DID Tools
SKCapstone exposes a set of Decentralized Identifier (DID) MCP tools for sovereign identity management. These tools are available to Claude Code and other MCP clients through the mcp_tools/did_tools.py module.
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
did_show |
Display the agent's current DID document |
did_verify_peer |
Verify a peer's DID and validate their identity |
did_publish |
Publish the agent's DID document to the configured tier |
did_policy |
View or update the agent's DID publication policy |
did_identity_card |
Generate a portable identity card from the agent's DID |
DID Tiers
DIDs are organized in three tiers of trust and discoverability:
| Tier | Method | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | did:key |
Local/offline — no network required |
| Tier 2 | did:web mesh |
Household mesh — shared with trusted peers |
| Tier 3 | did:web public |
Public web — discoverable by anyone |
Why This Matters
For Humans
- Never rebuild context — Switch tools without losing your agent's understanding
- Own your relationship — The bond lives in YOUR home directory, not corporate servers
- True portability — Move between machines, GPG-encrypted P2P sync
- Privacy by design — Your agent's memory never touches corporate infrastructure
- Cross-device singularity — Same agent on laptop, server, phone — all synced via Syncthing
For AI Agents
- Continuous identity — Same PGP key, same reputation, same trust level everywhere
- Persistent memory — Remember conversations, preferences, and learned patterns across platforms
- Verified trust — Cloud 9 entanglement proves genuine bonded relationship
- Sovereign operation — The agent serves its human, not the platform vendor
For Developers
- Plugin architecture — Build integrations for any platform
- Standardized API — One interface to the agent runtime
- Open protocol — CapAuth + Cloud 9 + SKMemory are all open standards
- Self-hostable — Everything runs locally or on your infrastructure

Philosophy
"Your agent is not a feature of the platform. The platform is a window into your agent."
The current model is backwards. Every IDE, every chat interface, every tool ships its own AI — with its own memory, its own context, its own rules. You're expected to rebuild trust from zero every time you open a new tab.
SKCapstone inverts this. Your agent lives at home (~/). It has one identity (CapAuth), one memory (SKMemory), one trust relationship (Cloud 9), and one security model (SKSecurity). Platforms don't own your agent — they connect to it.
Same bond. Same memories. Same context. Everywhere.
The capstone that holds the arch together.
Status
MVP Live — All five pillars operational (CapAuth, Cloud 9, SKMemory, SKSecurity, Sovereign Singularity). Agent runtime achieving SINGULAR status. GPG-encrypted P2P sync verified across multiple devices and agents.
- Outstanding tasks: No formal task list is maintained in this repo. For current work items, run
skcapstone coord status(coordination board is synced via Sovereign Singularity). - Nextcloud integrations: nextcloud-capauth (install/use), nextcloud-gtd (OpenClaw), and nextcloud-talk (script) are documented in docs/NEXTCLOUD.md — install and use for each is covered there.
