Memory, Skills, and Runs

Ara’s loop relies on several systems that allow it to remember past work and improve future runs.

​

Memory

Ara remembers what it has shipped and what it learned during each run. This memory helps it build a deeper understanding of your codebase over time.

​

Skills

When Ara completes a task, it keeps the method it used as a skill. These skills make future runs more effective because Ara can reuse approaches that worked previously.

​

Hermes Cron

Ara can schedule work through Hermes Cron, allowing tasks to run automatically in the background.

This scheduling capability ensures the improvement loop continues even when you are not actively interacting with Ara.

​

Mac computer use

Ara can operate across environments on a Mac, including interacting with files, the browser, and the terminal as part of completing a run.

Together, these systems allow Ara to compound improvements over time.
