Stato: The Expertise Layer for AI Agents
Stato is an innovative tool designed to capture, validate, and transfer the expertise of AI coding agents across sessions, platforms, and teams. By treating agent expertise as structured modules similar to code, Stato empowers coding agents to retain knowledge from previous sessions, ensuring their insights and capabilities persist over time.

What is Stato?

Stato can be envisioned as an integration of functionalities from various existing tools:

• npm/pip: Facilitates the installation, sharing, and versioning of expertise packages.
• TypeScript/GCC: Incorporates a comprehensive compiler to validate input before it is stored.
• Docker: Packages expertise to function seamlessly across different platforms.
• Git: Offers capabilities to snapshot, diff, and merge modules of expertise.

Key Features

• Crystallization: Agents can capture their own knowledge into structured modules.
• 7-Pass Compiler: Validates syntax, structure, types, schema, and semantics before writing.
• Expertise Composition Algebra: Allows operations like snapshotting, slicing, grafting, and merging of expertise archives.
• Cross-Platform Bridges: Generates platform-compatible files such as CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md.
• Web AI Bridge: Import knowledge from conversations with web AI like Claude.ai and ChatGPT.
• Privacy Scanner: Scans for sensitive information before export.
• Session Resumption: Restores the context and knowledge from previous sessions without needing to re-import or re-export files.

Quick Start Examples

Across Sessions

Persist agent knowledge across sessions seamlessly:

# Session 1: Agent captures expertise  
cd my-project  
stato init  
stato crystallize  
# Saves prompt to .stato/prompts/crystallize.md  

# Session 2: Agent resumes from disk  
stato resume  

Across Projects

Easily transfer expertise:

# Export expertise  
stato snapshot --name scrna-expert --sanitize  
# Import in a new project  
cd ~/new-project && stato init  
stato import scrna-expert.stato  

Why Stato Exists

AI coding agents often begin each session without any retained knowledge. Stato changes this by organizing agent expertise, allowing it to be validated and shared across different platforms, making knowledge an enduring, shareable resource.
