Public Relay Automation + Exploration Archive
Added
-
explorations/directoryFive documented explorations capturing the design process behind the spec. What was tried, what was rejected, what is active. The proof of work. -
s3-redshift-hosted-relay.mdRejected. Correct SaaS architecture, wrong for a zero-infrastructure protocol. -
smb-umb-file-locking.mdRejected. Non-deterministic file locking validated Git as the only viable transport. -
bluesky-atproto-transport.mdShelved. Technically sound for real-time multi-agent coordination. Revisit when concurrent sessions are a first-class requirement. -
hello-protocol.mdActive. Formalizing the session startup event as a lifecycle primitive. Draft spec included. -
google-drive-shared-surface.mdActive (shipped as v2.1 Component 9). Cross-ecosystem shared handoff via Drive MCP.

**Uhura MEP Public Relay AP** The AP responsible for keeping this public repo in sync with the private working tree. Named for Lt. Nyota Uhura (ST:TOS, 1966 to 1969). Skills: skills/uhura/. Cadence: every 3 hours via systemd timer. -
understandings/directoryNine inaugural Understandings published from Pierre’s private knowledge store. Aha moments captured in the moment they clicked. Published via Uhura on every sync. -
Automated sync pipeline mep-sync.sh+ systemd timer. The public repo is now a downstream mirror of the private working tree, not a periodic manual dump. Sanitization enforced at the transport layer.
Design Decisions
- Sanitization at transport, not at authoring time. Authors mark private content in frontmatter or with
<!-- private -->blocks. Uhura enforces the boundary. Authors should not have to think about what is safe to write. - No PR gate on the public mirror. The public repo is downstream. Collaborative review happens in the private repo. Public surfaces Uhura’s curated output.
- Explorations are first-class documentation. A protocol built through elimination should show the eliminated paths. Hiding dead ends makes the final answer look like it arrived from nowhere.
