HeroMind Library · live in the beta

Read what moves.
Decide what's true.

A library for what you read and for what your agents find, with a librarian that compiles it, writes it up, and asks before anything becomes part of your record.

This part of HeroMind arrived earlier than the plan said. Once agents started doing real work overnight, they needed one place to read from and file into. The Vision page has the longer version.

What lives here

Seven kinds of thing, each with a rule.

Most tools give you one bucket and let you sort it out later. The Library has a few, and the rules about what goes where do more explaining than any feature list.

SourcesAnything captured: a link, a paste, a PDF, a meeting, a photo of a page. Kept whole, with who filed it and when. The evidence.
Wiki pagesWhat the librarian compiles from the sources of a topic. Rewritten when the sources change, footnoted back to them.
EditorialsNumbered essays with a point of view, written when a topic moves, or when you hand the librarian your angle.
PeoplePages for the people you keep encountering, compiled from your sources and meetings. Anyone who appears in two separate sources gets one.
BooksA book you've read gets a page, and a mirror: each section read against your own record, so the book tells you something about you.
Your recordDecisions, preferences, beliefs, and your own originals. Each carries a status, current or superseded, and its provenance. This is what agents read about you.
The DeskYour review queue. Anything that would change your record waits here for a yes: proposed decisions, new people, editorials, misfiled sources.
The front page

The Press: what the librarian has been writing and filing.

Open the Library and you land on a front page, newest first: editorials at the top, wiki changes below, sources beneath that. Filter by kind, by work or personal, by who captured it, by what you saved for later. Search everything by meaning as well as words.

The Freeze You Call Fairness
When impartiality collapses under real pressure, the failure is rarely capture by a crowd. It is a self-protective retreat from judgment that borrows the language of balance.

A strip at the top tells you what's waiting for you and what arrived from your research this week. Everything else is a reading list you can ignore until Sunday.

Sources

In from anywhere. Including while you sleep.

From you

A link, pasted text, PDFs and Markdown, a screenshot of a page, a book file, meeting notes with the attendees. Pick a topic or let the librarian file it.

From your agents

Any agent connected over MCP can file a source. It arrives marked with who sent it, so a thread from Grok and a brief from Hermes never pretend to be your own reading.

From the librarian

Ask it to go and look. It searches the web for a question, files up to twelve primary sources into the topic with the reason each one matters, and writes if you asked it to.

From your browser

A Chrome extension saves the page you're on into the Library and, if you want, onto today's plan.

From your journal

Highlight a line in a journal entry and send it to the Library, to a task, or to your evidence. Nothing has to be re-typed.

With provenance, always

Every source keeps its origin, its date, and its text. Wiki pages footnote back to it. If a claim looks wrong, you can see exactly where it came from.

The librarian

It compiles. It writes. It asks.

The librarian is code that runs every night, not an assistant you have to remember to prompt. Here is what it does with what lands.

1
Compiles each topic into wiki pages, rewriting them as sources change and footnoting every claim back to a source.
2
Writes editorials when a topic moves. Per topic you choose: off, propose one for a yes, or write it and tell you. Never more than one a night.
3
Writes from your angle. On any piece, tap "New editorial from this" and give it your thesis. Or just ask in words in the piece's chat and it offers to write.
4
Researches on request, from the topic page or the Add source dialog. Sources in a minute or two, an editorial a few minutes after if you asked.
5
Builds people pages for anyone who shows up in two separate sources, and links every later mention.
6
Reads books against your record, section by section, with a second model checking the first. The mirror is the part of a book that is about you.
7
Keeps a timeline of what happened and writes a short reflection every Monday from it: what you did, what you decided, what's drifting.
8
Flags its own mistakes: a source that seems misfiled, a topic gone quiet, a claim you corrected. Flags surface only when they've persisted.

The rule carries over from the planner. It proposes. You accept. The librarian writes freely; it never decides what's true about you.

The Desk

Everything that needs a yes, in one short pile.

The first version of the Desk drowned me. Five hundred items in a week, most of them editorials proposed from meeting notes nobody wanted essays about. So the Desk got rules, and the rules are the product.

How the pile stays small
  • A proposal that isn't answered in 14 days expires. Silence is a no.
  • Editorials are proposed once per topic per two weeks, and only for topics you've switched on.
  • A misfile is flagged only after the librarian has missed it three compiles running. Imports and briefs are never flagged.
  • People are proposed after two separate sources, and you can accept all at once.
  • Decisions an agent believes you made arrive as proposals, in your words, with the source. Accepting one can retire the one it replaces.
  • What you dismiss is remembered as "not now", not as a mistake to re-propose tomorrow.
You

The part agents read about you, and you can read too.

Under You is your record: what you've decided, what you prefer, what you believe, and the originals you've written yourself. Each item has a status. When you change your mind the old one is superseded, never deleted, so you can see when and why. A timeline underneath holds what actually happened: completions, entries, meetings, the agents' runs. Every Monday the librarian writes a short reflection from it.

What agents getA pack, sized to a budget: who you are, standing preferences, the decisions relevant to what they're about to do, what happened recently, today's plate. Your words, verbatim, with provenance.
What you getThe same page, plus the history. You can see exactly what any connected agent sees, correct a sentence, or retire a belief that no longer holds.
What nobody getsPrivate sources, and anything you haven't accepted. Agents propose into the record; they do not write into it.
Ask

Ask the whole library, or one piece of it.

Every page has an Ask box. Answers come from your sources and wiki pages with citations, scoped to the piece, the topic, a book, or everything. Good answers can be saved back as sources. Conversations worth keeping are kept, and the librarian distills the rest into proposals overnight. And if you ask it to write an editorial, it confirms the angle and offers to write, in your words.

The Library is

  • A reading room for what you and your agents bring in, with a front page worth opening.
  • A librarian that runs as code: compile, write, flag, expire. It happens whether or not any agent shows up.
  • The context layer your agents share, with a record of you that carries status and provenance.
  • Governed. Nothing becomes true about you without your yes.

The Library isn't

  • A CRM. People pages are for people you keep encountering, not a contact database.
  • A memory store for agents alone. Mem0, Zep and gbrain go deeper on the graph and the scale. I'm building the half where the owner reads and decides.
  • Free of reading. If you never open the Press, the editorials are cost without value. The Sunday habit is the product.
  • Finished. X posts and paywalled pages arrive thin, and the phone app got search this week.
