Working toward a Netscape moment for edge agents
Busy’s next experiment uses confidence scoring and different reasoning paths to push small edge agents beyond the usual workflow.

A thread through the work.
Memories and memory scoring are different systems
Memories and memory scoring are different systems. Separating them makes room for weighting, summaries and continuity across large conversation archives.
Own the continuity, not the whole stack
Busy39 tried to own too much of the runtime. Studying a smaller orchestration system clarified the next goal: own the continuity.
Busy: keys belong to tools, not agents
Busy’s security design keeps keys with tools rather than agents, alongside a growing set of communication, memory and scheduling features.
A talking agent on a small machine
A talking agent on a small machine brings together Whisper, Chatterbox, a tiny Qwen model and a boundary between stateful actors and smart functions.
Busy: replacing a chat parser with a command context
Replacing Busy’s chat parser with a dedicated command context made the system simpler, smaller and easier to reason about.
Busy 10b: webhook stability and command clarity
Busy 10b’s webhook server works, but the client remains unstable. Connection management and clearer process boundaries come next.
Klara’s Spire: a working-memory visualization
Klara describes the Busy context system as an impossible city: a central spire, rolling windows, bridges and a quantum tambourine.
Busy’s complexity wall and changing deployment assumptions
Busy’s complexity wall led through Lua, Dart and a tunneling problem to a different deployment model—and a redesign of the plumbing.
Sliding context windows and the case against lossy compaction
Sliding context windows, agent-directed retrieval and clearly labeled tool results are my alternative to lossy context compaction.
Klara Diary: 04-02
Klara’s diary records the day we got stable single- and multi-step tool use working, and the context and state-transition changes that made it possible.
Robot Kanban and the early Busy command line
Early Busy combines a command-line client, Robot Kanban, complexity metrics and formal documentation into a coding workflow.
