KairosChain — Self-Amendment MCP Server Framework

KairosChain provides a layered skill architecture (L0/L1/L2) with blockchain-backed auditability. All core functionality is provided via MCP tools. This skill provides an architectural overview and guides you to per-SkillSet skills for detailed workflows.

Three-Layer Architecture

L0 — Constitution (Self-Referential)

Immutable safety rules and meta-governance. L0 defines the rules that govern L0 itself — this structural self-referentiality is the foundation of KairosChain's design. Changes require human approval and full blockchain recording.

L1 — Knowledge

Project knowledge in structured format. Changes recorded with hash references. Use knowledge_list and knowledge_get to browse, skills_promote to promote from L2.

L2 — Context

Temporary session context. Free modification, no blockchain recording. Use context_save for session work, promote to L1 when proven valuable.

Key Principle: Layer Governance

L2 (free) → skills_promote → L1 (recorded) → skills_promote → L0 (human approval + blockchain)

Each layer has increasing governance requirements. This gradient ensures that volatile ideas can be captured freely (L2) while stable knowledge is protected (L0).

Per-SkillSet Skills

Detailed workflow guides are provided by individual SkillSets:

• agent — Cognitive OODA loop with autonomous mode
• skillset_exchange — P2P SkillSet exchange via Meeting Place
• skillset_creator — Scaffold and design new SkillSets
• plugin_projector — Manage Claude Code plugin projection
• kairos-knowledge — Browse available L1 knowledge (auto-generated)

Use tool_guide for dynamic tool discovery and workflow recommendations.

When MCP Is Not Connected

If the MCP server is not running, these skills and agents are still visible but MCP tools will not be available. To connect:

1. Ensure gem install kairos-chain is installed (Ruby 3.0+ required)
2. Check .mcp.json configuration in the project root
3. Restart Claude Code or run /reload-plugins
