By Hal Labs — Part of the Hal Stack
A proactive, self-improving architecture for your AI agent.
Most agents just wait. This one anticipates your needs — and gets better at it over time.
Proactive — creates value without being asked
✅ Anticipates your needs — Asks "what would help my human?" instead of waiting
✅ Reverse prompting — Surfaces ideas you didn't know to ask for
✅ Proactive check-ins — Monitors what matters and reaches out when needed
Persistent — survives context loss
✅ WAL Protocol — Writes critical details BEFORE responding
✅ Working Buffer — Captures every exchange in the danger zone
✅ Compaction Recovery — Knows exactly how to recover after context loss
Self-improving — gets better at serving you
