Yama is where SLAPS Engine, capsule, chat, resource space, market, trace, budget, and assistant runtime began to converge into one implemented application surface.
Inside the OathAI archive, Yama marks the point where protocol theory, runtime engineering, and capsule governance started to become a product-facing platform experiment.
Yama sits at the end of the current implementation chain:
Expanded: protocol theory -> runtime engine -> capsule governance -> online implementation. This makes Yama useful as evidence that earlier protocol and capsule ideas reached application form.
The current Yama codebase contains several implementation layers:
Keiko is the assistant-layer experiment inside Yama. Its design direction includes user-level enablement, budget limits, task lists, scheduled or manual task execution, user-defined scope, and awareness of files, spaces, summaries, and snapshots.
This makes Keiko one of the strongest bridges from Yama toward future agent systems.
Yama also exposed a larger question. A proactive assistant can be embedded inside a web interface, but future AI assistants may need to exist as recognizable participants across communication and task environments.
OathAI preserves the semantic, protocol, and provenance layers needed to understand how AI agents become trustworthy participants in future human-AI systems.
