This is the curated documentation entrypoint for YAI. Start here for stable architecture and public technical orientation.
YAI is a local control runtime for case-bound AI operation. It gives model, provider, tool, operator, and system activity an operational boundary: case, subject, attempted operation, control decision, effect or observation, receipt, record, projection, and operational memory.
- Repository README: project identity, status, boundaries, and repository layout.
- Technical brief: five-minute technical explanation.
- Quickstart: minimal local orientation and validation entry.
- Test cases: reproducible validation paths.
- Provider boundary: provider experiment matrix and boundary posture.
- Architecture summary: public architecture overview.
- Glossary: short term definitions for first-contact readers.
- Legal posture: source-available repository posture.
YAI is an early source-available technical repository. It is public for technical evaluation and review, not production use, unless a specific written permission or component license says otherwise.
The command and test surfaces are still stabilizing. Repository-specific status and license files are authoritative for current posture.
Operational material is outside docs/:
labs/contains experiments, runbooks, notebooks, outputs and reports.work/contains spines, waves, inventories, repo-readiness notes, agent notes and archives.
YAI is source-available, not open source by default. Technical feedback is welcome, but broad external contribution is not open yet unless maintainers explicitly scope the change.
docs/ is curated architecture documentation. It is not the lab root, wave
archive, inventory root or agent execution folder.
