Ariadne
Turn direction into action.
An AI-assisted personal strategy system that connects long-term direction to priorities, opportunities, projects and tasks.
Core question
“Given where I am and where I want to go, what should I do next?”
Ariadne is the execution layer. It keeps strategic direction connected to concrete work, so prioritization reflects what matters rather than treating every task as an isolated item — and it reads current state from Kleos instead of guessing it.
The model
What Ariadne does.
- 01
One unbroken thread
Vectors → Directions → Strategic Objectives → Projects and Tasks → Progress Signals. Pull any task and see why it exists.
- 02
Priority with reasons
Ari Bot weighs strategic relevance, urgency, leverage, obligations and actionability — and may change only the priority field.
- 03
Opportunity Landscape
Opportunities plotted by strategic value against attainability, computed in Postgres. Automated discovery never writes to the Landscape directly.
- 04
Current state, not guesswork
Each vector shows Kleos' latest measured state beside the movement you want — read-only, and flagged stale after 14 days.

Directly advances a strategic objective and unblocks the release. Ready to start today.
Ari Bot may change one field — priority. Directions, objectives and the work itself stay yours.
Opportunities are scored on strategic value and attainability — coordinates computed in Postgres, never written directly by the AI. Automated discovery lands in a separate candidate inbox and needs explicit promotion to appear here.

Family context
One layer of a larger system.
Ariadne decides and organizes desired movement. It stays useful on its own, and exchanges outputs with the rest of the family through explicit contracts.
