Icm Architect

Design a process, idea or body of knowledge into an ICM (Interpretable Context Methodology) workspace, where folder structure is the agent architecture, or restructure an existing folder, repo or vault into one. Use for "make this an ICM", "ICM this", "build me a workspace", "structure this for agents", "map this repo", "audit this folder", "what would a change hit", a second brain, team brain or context map, or turning transcripts and research into material for lectures, scripts or docs.

# ICM Architect

Build workspaces where the folder structure does the orchestration. One agent, reading the right files at the right moment, replaces a multi-agent framework: numbered folders carry sequencing, hierarchy carries context scoping, plain markdown files carry state. A person can open any folder and see what state the system is in, because state is just files. The routing files are the catalog: small and stable, they point at the shelves where the content lives.

Method: Interpretable Context Methodology (Van Clief & McDermott, arXiv:2603.16021, MIT-licensed). It runs in any agent or model that can read files: nothing in a workspace depends on one vendor's tools.

## The invariants

Every ICM starts from these ten. They are defaults: when you know what works and need a nuanced change, break one on purpose and write why in the nearest `CONTEXT.md` or `AGENTS.md`.

1. **One folder, one job** (Unix, Parnas). Each folder does a single step or holds a single kind of thing, and states its own purpose in a file inside itself. The structure is the documentation.
2. **A small, stable entry file.** `AGENTS.md` at the root answers "where am I, where does everything live, where do I go for task X" and nothing else. Under ~60 lines; it routes and never holds content. A tool that looks for another file name gets a one-line pointer to it, never a second copy (see [references/core.md](references/core.md), Naming).
