# AtoCore Next Steps
## Current Position
AtoCore now has:
- canonical runtime and machine storage on Dalidou
- separated source and machine-data boundaries
- initial self-knowledge ingested into the live instance
- trusted project-state entries for AtoCore itself
- a first read-only OpenClaw integration path on the T420
- a first real active-project corpus batch for:
- `p04-gigabit`
- `p05-interferometer`
- `p06-polisher`
This working list should be read alongside:
- [master-plan-status.md](C:/Users/antoi/ATOCore/docs/master-plan-status.md)
## Immediate Next Steps
1. Use the T420 `atocore-context` skill and the new organic routing layer in
real OpenClaw workflows
- confirm `auto-context` feels natural
- confirm project inference is good enough in practice
- confirm the fail-open behavior remains acceptable in practice
2. Review retrieval quality after the first real project ingestion batch
- check whether the top hits are useful
- check whether trusted project state remains dominant
- reduce cross-project competition and prompt ambiguity where needed
- use `debug-context` to inspect the exact last AtoCore supplement
3. Treat the active-project full markdown/text wave as complete
- `p04-gigabit`
- `p05-interferometer`
- `p06-polisher`
4. Define a cleaner source refresh model
- make the difference between source truth, staged inputs, and machine store
explicit
- move toward a project source registry and refresh workflow
- foundation now exists via project registry + per-project refresh API
- registration policy + template + proposal + approved registration are now
the normal path for new projects
5. Move to Wave 2 trusted-operational ingestion
- curated dashboards
- decision logs
- milestone/current-status views
- operational truth, not just raw project notes
6. Integrate the new engineering architecture docs into active planning, not immediate schema code
- keep `docs/architecture/engineering-knowledge-hybrid-architecture.md` as the target layer model
- keep `docs/architecture/engineering-ontology-v1.md` as the V1 structured-domain target
- do not start entity/relationship persistence until the ingestion, retrieval, registry, and backup baseline feels boring and stable
7. Define backup and export procedures for Dalidou
- exercise the new SQLite + registry snapshot path on Dalidou
- Chroma backup or rebuild policy
- retention and restore validation
8. Keep deeper automatic runtime integration modest until the organic read-only
model has proven value
## Trusted State Status
The first conservative trusted-state promotion pass is now complete for:
- `p04-gigabit`
- `p05-interferometer`
- `p06-polisher`
Each project now has a small set of stable entries covering:
- summary
- architecture or boundary decision
- key constraints
- current next focus
This materially improves `context/build` quality for project-hinted prompts.
## Recommended Near-Term Project Work
The active-project full markdown/text wave is now in.
The near-term work is now:
1. strengthen retrieval quality
2. promote or refine trusted operational truth where the broad corpus is now too noisy
3. keep trusted project state concise and high-confidence
4. widen only through named ingestion waves
## Recommended Next Wave Inputs
Wave 2 should emphasize trusted operational truth, not bulk historical notes.
P04:
- current status dashboard
- current selected design path
- current frame interface truth
- current next-step milestone view
P05:
- selected vendor path
- current error-budget baseline
- current architecture freeze or open decisions
- current procurement / next-action view
P06:
- current system map
- current shared contracts baseline
- current calibration procedure truth
- current July / proving roadmap view
## Deferred On Purpose
- automatic write-back from OpenClaw into AtoCore
- automatic memory promotion
- reflection loop integration
- replacing OpenClaw's own memory system
- syncing the live machine DB between machines
## Success Criteria For The Next Batch
The next batch is successful if:
- OpenClaw can use AtoCore naturally when context is needed
- OpenClaw can infer registered projects and call AtoCore organically for
project-knowledge questions
- the active-project full corpus wave can be inspected and used concretely
through `auto-context`, `context-build`, and `debug-context`
- OpenClaw can also register a new project cleanly before refreshing it
- existing project registrations can be refined safely before refresh when the
staged source set evolves
- AtoCore answers correctly for the active project set
- retrieval surfaces the seeded project docs instead of mostly AtoCore meta-docs
- trusted project state remains concise and high confidence
- project ingestion remains controlled rather than noisy
- the canonical Dalidou instance stays stable
## Long-Run Goal
The long-run target is:
- continue working normally inside PKM project stacks and Gitea repos
- let OpenClaw keep its own memory and runtime behavior
- let AtoCore supplement LLM work with stronger trusted context, retrieval, and
context assembly
That means AtoCore should behave like a durable external context engine and
machine-memory layer, not a replacement for normal repo work or OpenClaw memory.
