StewardOS

An autonomous household platform. 8 AI personas govern financial planning, estate management, household operations, investment research, wellness, and insurance — coordinated through Plane PM, grounded in 22 MCP servers, executing 57 captured skills.

The 5 Architectural Bets

01

Schema'd state over memory

Ontology by construction through typed MCP tool contracts. Every tool declares its input/output schema with Zod. Agents don't remember state — they query structured, validated state through tools. No vector-store hallucination. No stale context windows.

02

PM tool as coordination substrate

Plane is the single source of truth for delegation. Human and AI tasks live in the same backlog, same sprint cycles, same approval gates. Bidirectional: humans delegate to agents, agents delegate to humans. No separate orchestration layer.

03

Skills as captured expertise

57 repeatable operating procedures across 8 personas. Skills are not prompts — they're structured workflows with preconditions, steps, validation, and domain context. Expertise compounds: each skill execution builds institutional knowledge.

04

Domain engines as first-class citizens

Deterministic computation with credibility metadata. Tax calculations, portfolio risk models, estate entity graphs — these are not LLM tasks. They run as typed engines with auditable inputs/outputs. The LLM orchestrates; the engine computes.

05

Tool-level governance

Side effects enforced at the MCP server boundary, not in prompts. Write tools validate workspace ownership. Structural tools reject cross-workspace writes. Execution tools allow cross-workspace for delegation. Governance is architecture, not instructions.

System Topology

StewardOS decomposes into three layers: personas (the who), MCP servers (the what), and skills (the how). Plane PM binds them together as the coordination substrate.

Same Architecture, Different Domain

StewardOS and PuranOS share the same 5 foundational bets. One governs a household. The other designs, builds, and operates industrial wastewater treatment systems. The architecture is domain-agnostic — the substrate is what matters.
