🧭 AgentCompass: Turning AI Development into Ritual Architecture

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.

:wrench: What AgentCompass Does
:brain: Defines roles: Architect vs Developer, with clear responsibilities
:clipboard: Enforces structure: Every AI reply ends with a report — changes made, tasks unfulfilled, manual steps required
:locked_with_key: Bakes in security: No sensitive data, proper placeholders, error handling
:memo: Requires documentation: Declarative English-only comments, Better Comments style
:test_tube: Evaluates architecture: AI can challenge your design choices and suggest alternatives

:scroll: 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.

:compass: 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:
:memo: Markdown as memory + :brain: 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! :heart:

I’ve temporarily run out of tokens (classic remix cliffhanger :sweat_smile:), 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. :purple_heart::compass:

— Damian VIBE CMS rolls on.
