Starlight Intelligence System

A protocol for sovereign creator alliances — and a reference implementation you can run today.

SIS is two layers: a substrate (SIP) anyone can adopt, fork, or build on — and an operational layer (Frank's reference build) that runs on top of it.

Two layers, one repo

Adopt how

Substrate (SIP)

A six-layer protocol that lets sovereign parties compose intelligence systems without losing sovereignty.

SIP.md, SIS.md, ALLIANCE.md, STACK.md, VOICES.md, VERTICALS.md, MEMORY.md, REGISTRY.md, SKILL.md, .claude/commands/

MIT

Read SIP.md, attest with /sip-attest, fork what you need.

Operational (reference build)

This repo's working implementation: 47 agents (7-archetype council + specialist tiers), 6 semantic vaults, 71 auto-activating skills across 14 domains, MCP server, 6 strategic commands + 90+ slash commands, six-platform adapters. Frank's daily-driver.

Install @arcanea/starlight-intelligence-system, run the MCP server, write to your vaults.

You can adopt just the substrate (fork SIP for your own work), just the operational layer (use the MCP server for AI memory), or the full stack (Frank's reference build, end to end). They are independent.

Operator? Start at SETUP.md — covers private/ instance state, Infisical Path A vs env-var Path B, Windows + Linux cron wiring, cockpit launch, and a smoke test, end-to-end in roughly 30 min.

New to the protocol? Don't fork this repo. Fork the SIP adoption kit — eleven markdown files, no code, ship your first attested artifact in 60 seconds. Compose upward when you're ready.

New in v8.2.0 (2026-05-30): First-run experience hardened so the package works for anyone who installs it. starlight init --vaults seeds the six JSONL vaults (and the MCP server auto-seeds an empty --vault-dir on first boot), so a fresh install is never silently empty. sis_search is now honestly described as keyword + temporal (no embeddings); a measured retrieval recall@k harness (npm run eval:retrieval) grounds the bm25 claim in CI; and an optional sqlite-vec semantic layer is roadmapped in docs/bring-your-own-model.md. See CHANGELOG.md § v8.2.0 and RELEASING.md.

New in v8.1.0 (2026-05-17): Composition Layer primitive declared in STACK.md — universal IS may compose over its Domain Sub-Stacks via commands at the IS-itself. Wealth IS v0.2 evolved as first composition-layer reference. Crypto Intelligence v0.1 shipped as third reference Domain Sub-Stack (after People + Sound) with Houses-as-sub-systems primitive — House of On-Chain live with 5 commands. /bless global skill + chronicle infrastructure initialized. 10-IS taxonomy invariant preserved. See CHANGELOG.md § v8.1.0 + docs/boards/2026-05-17-crypto-investment-spawn.md.
