tegwick bd74d7d122 Document measurement loop plan and ecosystem integration strategy.
Persist INTENT and ecosystem assessments in history/, add ADR-004 for
project metrics with Helix Forge correlation, and register WP-0003 and
WP-0004 workplans with State Hub. Update SCOPE, README, and agency-framework
docs to reflect the two-layer measurement model.

KaizenAgentic Ecosystem Assessment

Date: 2026-06-16 Compared repos: info-tech-canon, agentic-resources, activity-core, llm-connect, identity-canon, phase-memory, artifact-store, domain-tree, kontextual-engine, tele-mcp Against: INTENT.md, wiki/, WP-0003 measurement loop plan


Strategic Insight

INTENT's vision is distributed across the ecosystem, not missing from a single repo:

INTENT promise Primary owner
Agent definitions + deployment kaizen-agentic
Project memory + Coach kaizen-agentic
Per-agent metrics + optimizer kaizen-agentic (WP-0003)
Session capture + fleet metrics agentic-resources (Helix Forge)
Scheduled improvement triggers activity-core
Evidence retention artifact-store
Rich memory graphs phase-memory (future)
Guidance as knowledge kontextual-engine + info-tech-canon
Semantic vocabulary info-tech-canon, identity-canon
Org placement domain-tree
Runtime telemetry MCP tele-mcp (unassessed — not cloned)

KaizenAgentic matures by stabilizing conventions and composing adjacent services, consistent with INTENT boundaries.


Per-Repo Assessment

agentic-resources — P0

Role: AgentOps / Helix Forge — Capture → Detect → Curate → Distribute → Measure on coding sessions.

Use: Fleet-level session metrics (session_memory/measure/), JSONL baselines, cross-agent adapters (Claude/Codex/Grok). Complements project-scoped .kaizen/metrics/.

Action: ADR-004 correlation fields; WP-0004 integration; do not re-implement session ingestion here.

activity-core — P1

Role: Event bridge — cron/NATS → task emission.

Use: Scheduled metrics optimize, retention hygiene, metrics scaffold validation after agent install.

Action: WP-0004 ActivityDefinitions after WP-0003 Part 2.

artifact-store — P1

Role: Artifact registry + retention gateway.

Use: Persist optimizer analysis.json, recommendations, e2e evidence packages.

Action: WP-0004 pilot registration with raw-evidence retention class.

info-tech-canon — P2

Role: Markdown-first semantic canon, agent briefs, patterns, profiles.

Use: Map KaizenAgentTemplate → canon profiles; publish per-agent briefs; validation rules for kaizen-agentic validate.

Action: WP-0004 Part 4 (later phase).

phase-memory — P2

Role: Profile-driven memory graphs (ephemeral → rigid).

Use: Upgrade path from flat .kaizen/agents/*/memory.md.

Action: Future WP after WP-0004; no WP-0003 blocker.

kontextual-engine — P2

Role: Knowledge operations engine.

Use: Ingest wiki/ and agents/ as knowledge assets; KaizenGuidance catalog runtime.

Action: WP-0004 Part 4 (guidance pilot).

llm-connect — P3

Role: Provider-neutral LLM adapter.

Use: Automated Coach/optimizer narration when LLM synthesis moves beyond CLI context assembly.

Action: Reference pattern; adopt when WP-0003+ adds LLM-powered recommendations.

domain-tree — P3

Role: Organizational domain tree (primary + secondary bindings).

Use: Register kaizen-agentic and agent categories in org structure.

Action: When capability catalog matures.

identity-canon — P3

Role: Identity/agent terminology research.

Use: Distinguish agent persona vs instance vs session actor for "digital talent agency" framing.

Action: Glossary alignment in wiki.

tele-mcp — TBD

Status: On Forgejo (coulomb/tele-mcp); not cloned; not in State Hub registry. Name suggests telemetry MCP.

Action: Clone and assess before integration; candidate for WP-0001 T04 telemetry adapter.


Two-Layer Measurement Model

Layer Scope Owner Storage
Fleet Cross-repo session outcomes agentic-resources Helix Forge store + measure/baselines.jsonl
Project Per-agent persona performance in one repo kaizen-agentic .kaizen/metrics/<agent>/executions.jsonl

Correlation via shared fields defined in ADR-004 (helix_session_uid, repo, success, tokens, execution_time_s).

See wiki/EcosystemIntegration.md for integration contracts.


Priority Matrix

Priority Repo WP
P0 agentic-resources WP-0004 Part 1
P1 activity-core WP-0004 Part 2
P1 artifact-store WP-0004 Part 3
P2 info-tech-canon, kontextual-engine, phase-memory WP-0004 Part 4 / future
P3 llm-connect, domain-tree, identity-canon Adopt as needed
TBD tele-mcp Assess when cloned

Follow-Up Workplans

  • KAIZEN-WP-0003 — measurement loop (active, State Hub registered)
  • KAIZEN-WP-0004 — ecosystem integration (active, depends on WP-0003 Part 3)
