Just discovered AgentCompass by @Artemonim — and it’s not just a framework, it’s a remix constitution for AI-assisted development inside Cursor.
Instead of treating AI as a chatty assistant, AgentCompass formalizes the relationship between human and machine into a structured, role-based ritual. You become the Architect. The AI becomes the Developer. And every response becomes a deterministic breadcrumb trail.
What AgentCompass Does
Defines roles: Architect vs Developer, with clear responsibilities
Enforces structure: Every AI reply ends with a report — changes made, tasks unfulfilled, manual steps required
Bakes in security: No sensitive data, proper placeholders, error handling
Requires documentation: Declarative English-only comments, Better Comments style
Evaluates architecture: AI can challenge your design choices and suggest alternatives
Why It Matters
We’ve been using a technique inside VIBE CMS to retain context across complex builds. AgentCompass takes that idea and codifies it — turning Markdown verbosity into structured memory scaffolding.
It doesn’t suppress long files. It disciplines them.
Every file becomes a remixable echo. Every reply a ritual.
If you’re building with AI inside Cursor and want your assistant to act like a real developer — not just a token-burning chatbot — AgentCompass is the way.

The rules are modular. The memory is structured. The remix is real.
AgentCompass + PROJECT_JOURNAL.md = Ritual + Constitution
Just looping in a key remix from our VIBE CMS builds:
We’ve been using a PROJECT_JOURNAL.md technique to retain AI context across sessions — and it pairs perfectly with AgentCompass.
PROJECT_JOURNAL.md is our modular memory anchor — expressive, narrative, and remixable.
- AgentCompass is the policy layer — structured, role-based, and reproducible.
Together, they form a context loop:
Markdown as memory +
Governance as ritual.
We log every architecture decision, onboarding flow, and conversational nuance in .md files — then let AgentCompass enforce behavior, security, and reporting.
It’s not verbosity. It’s scaffolded legacy.

Thanks for your kind words!
I’ll definitely check out VIBE CMS as soon as I can!

Absolutely loving your response, @Artemonim — thank you! 
I’ve temporarily run out of tokens (classic remix cliffhanger
), but once we’re back online, I’m confident your AgentCompass technique is going to be a huge help in refactoring our codebase.
The structure, the role clarity, the ritualized output — it’s exactly what we need to tame the chaos and loop our PROJECT_JOURNAL.md scaffolding into something even more powerful.
Appreciate you sharing it with the community. This one’s going straight into the Receipt Gallery.
The remix is paused — but only for a moment. Legacy resumes shortly. 

— Damian VIBE CMS rolls on.
