Delegate Brain Overview
The Delegate Brain is the control center for your delegate. It’s where you configure how your delegate thinks, communicates, and takes action.Accessing the Brain
Click the Brain tab in the right panel of your initiative. You’ll see all the configuration sections that control your delegate’s behavior.Brain Sections
The Delegate Brain is organized into sections, each controlling a different aspect of your delegate:Identity
Personality, tone, and communication style
Tasks
Active work your delegate is focused on
Memory
What your delegate remembers about you
Skills
Specialized procedures and workflows
Schedules
Recurring check-ins and automations
Permissions
What tools and resources your delegate can access
Additional Sections
- Progress Log - A running log of what your delegate has accomplished
- Unfinished Business - Pending items your delegate still needs to complete
Shared Sections
Some sections are shared across all delegates in the initiative:- Initiative Context - Background information about the project that all delegates can reference
- Notifications - How the delegate notifies stakeholders about important updates
Who Can Edit
Only the initiative owner can edit the Delegate Brain. If you’re a member of an initiative (not the owner), you can view the brain but not modify it. This ensures one person controls how the delegate behaves, preventing conflicting configurations.How the Brain Affects Your Delegate

Editing the Brain
You can edit the brain in two ways:Direct Editing

Your delegate can update its own brain based on your conversations. When you say things like:“Remember that I prefer bullet points over paragraphs.”
“Add ‘follow up with Sarah’ to your tasks.”Your delegate updates the relevant brain section automatically.
How Brain Data is Stored
Behind the scenes, the brain is stored as a virtual filesystem in the database. Each section corresponds to one or more paths:/identity.md- Your delegate’s personality/tasks/- Active tasks (stored as individual task files)/memory/- Learned information organized by topic (e.g.,/memory/people/,/memory/decisions/)/skills/- Specialized procedures/progress-log.txt- Activity log/unfinished-business.md- Pending items
