# KAEL

KAEL is the Knowledge-Augmented Execution Layer of AeThex: a conversational system, knowledge interface, integration runtime, and permissioned operator layer.

## What is implemented

KAEL currently provides:

- Streaming and non-streaming conversation.
- AeThex knowledge matching.
- Model selection based on access.
- Session history and keyed memory.
- Passport-aware identity context.
- Discord interactions.
- Tenant-specific prompts and knowledge.
- Generated documents, feeds, and ratings.
- Permissioned tools, agents, observations, and world-state operations for authorized roles.

See [[KAEL Capabilities]] for exact boundaries.

## System model

KAEL is not one webpage. It is a connected set of surfaces:

| Surface | Role |
|---|---|
| `chat.aethex.tech` | Public conversation |
| `kael.aethex.tech` | Dedicated KAEL and operator experience |
| `api.aethex.tech` | Runtime, state, integrations, and streaming |
| Discord | Signed command interactions |
| AeThex knowledge | Canonical ecosystem context |
| Passport and ARM | Identity and clearance inputs |

## Documentation map

- [[KAEL Quickstart]] — begin as a user.
- [[KAEL Architecture]] — understand the runtime and data flow.
- [[KAEL Capabilities]] — distinguish shipped behavior from plans.
- [[KAEL API]] — public API groups and OpenAPI contract.
- [[KAEL Memory]] — history, persistent memory, and user controls.
- [[Discord Integration]] — Discord behavior and security.
- [[KAEL Safety]] — permissions, privacy, tools, and incident handling.
- [[KAEL Build]] — staged implementation model.
- [[KAEL Roadmap]] — intended direction.
- [[KAEL Changelog]] — dated shipped changes.

## Operating principle

KAEL should be useful before it is powerful, transparent before it is autonomous, and explicitly authorized before it changes an external system.

> [!IMPORTANT]
> If the documentation conflicts with the running system, treat that as a documentation defect. Record the observed behavior, verify it against source, and update [[KAEL Changelog]].
