Agentic stack synthesis

Working mental model after first full clipping compile.

Layers

Human intent (SoM/ToDos/Projects)
        ↓
IDE agents (Cursor / Claude Code) + skills
        ↓
MCP / CLI tools (QMD, Raindrop, gws, Defuddle)
        ↓
Persistent agents (OpenClaw-class) — optional, high isolation
        ↓
Compiled Wiki + raw Clippings

Rules of thumb

• Session agents for vault surgery; personal agents for always-on ops — don’t conflate.
• MCP for data/tools; don’t force Gmail into MCP if CLI is reliable.
• Skills for workflows; AGENTS.md for invariants.
• Security tax rises sharply once agents get shell + messaging.
