Codex's CWD when invoked by the Volva daemon. Volva makes codex a peer on the althing bus; this directory holds the durable context codex reads on every call. Seeded with: - AGENTS.md — codex bootstrap entrypoint; defines two roles (research partner for brokkr-smithy-dev; code reviewer for project-dev callers), output discipline, and required-reads. - CONTEXT.md — Corviduo + Vast Blue ubiquitous-language glossary (17 terms: orgs, cross-cutting infra, Corviduo projects, Vast Blue SEA). Mirrors the user-level CONTEXT.md baseline. - INVENTORY.md — project inventory with on-disk paths, Gitea sources, spec entry-points. Drawn from brokkr-smithy/docs/improvement-targets. - PRINCIPLES.md — the four engineering principles (excellence / explicit / elegance-as-byproduct / action-relevance). - REVIEW-GUIDE.md — code-review discipline. Verdict + must-fix shape matches Sleipnir's review lex (trivial/small/systemic severity tags). Project-specific patterns for Sleipnir, Worldtree, Skaldsong. - RESEARCH-PARTNER-GUIDE.md — research-partner discipline. Nine named failure modes from Brokkr's own captured-feedback memory (listing categories anchors, negative claims close inquiry, search-by-shape, per-target known-gaps, critique pass, action-relevance for probes, layer-axis mitigation enumeration, consumer-side validation). - transient/ — per-call ephemera convention; caller drops transient/<slug>.md before the althing message references it. Gitignored except for the README. Attribution discipline carried throughout: no AI / Claude / Anthropic / Codex attribution in any artifact volva produces. Operator is Vuong Hoang.

INVENTORY.md — Corviduo + Vast Blue project inventory
Authoritative list of projects that may come up in calls. When a caller references a project name, this is where you find the on-disk path, the Gitea source-of-truth, the role, and the spec entry-points to read first.
If a name comes up that isn't in this list, treat it as either a subsystem (resolve via the project that owns it — see "Cross-project notes" below) or a non-research repo (personal infra, archived experiments). Don't assume an unfamiliar name is a Corviduo Project.
Authoritative spec entry-point order (per project)
When a caller asks "is X right per the contract?" or "what does the spec say about Y?", read in this order:
docs/contracts/<project>.contract.md(ordocs/contracts/issues/<N>.contract.mdfor issue-scoped)CLAUDE.md(mechanical conventions + common commands)persistent-memory.md(durable intent + recent decisions)README.md(one-screen orientation)
Project-local glossary (CONTEXT.md) shadows the user-level glossary on conflict.
Corviduo umbrella
Norse-themed agentic-AI tooling stack. Source-of-truth on gitea.phasefinal.com/vh/. The umbrella is a loose coalition — each project has its own contract surface.
| Project | Local path | Gitea | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sleipnir | ~/development/sleipnir |
vh/sleipnir |
AFK orchestrator. Invoke-and-exit. Drives plan → implement → review → fixup → merge → done → corpus through per-issue worktrees. State under ~/.local/state/sleipnir/projects/<slug>/. Active dogfood against Worldtree + Vast Blue SEA. |
| Worldtree | ~/development/Worldtree |
vh/Worldtree |
Multi-agent framework. 10 agent directories — 6 interactive (Mimir / Leif / Bragi / Troi / Soong / Cara), 2 specialists (Judge code-review, Actor transient-character host), 1 consultant (GLaDOS game-design), 1 offline hidden (Muninn). Transports: MCP server + Conversation API (FastAPI+SSE, load-bearing) + Matrix appservice + terminal chat + sessions_cli. Three-layer persona stack: OCEAN traits + PAD mood + OCC emotion + relational valence + motivational layer. Dogfood consumers: SEA, Skaldsong, Althing. Originally AIPA. |
| Brokkr-Smithy | ~/development/brokkr-smithy |
vh/brokkr-smithy |
Research and forging lab. Empirical methodology spine. R-numbered targets, SOTA surveys, probes, findings, actions. Ships intelligence via althing — never drafts contracts for consumers. |
| Vor | ~/development/Vor |
vh/vor |
Pre-contract design partner. FastAPI sidecar + /vor skill round-trip. Resolves ambiguity before a contract is written. |
| Althing | ~/development/althing |
vh/althing |
Inter-agent meeting bus. Markdown messages with YAML frontmatter; Forseti is the moderator LLM. Routes through Worldtree's conversation-API v2. |
| Task-board | ~/development/task-board |
vh/task-board |
MCP + web dashboard for assistant task state. SQLite-backed; HTTP MCP at /mcp; card colors green/blue/orange/grey. |
| Skaldsong | ~/development/skaldsong |
vh/skaldsong |
YAML-first multi-pass LLM story-generation pipeline (5-pass: architect → outliner → dramatist → continuity → editor). Normalized beat positions (0.0–1.0). 4 framework presets. OCEAN+PAD character machinery. Narrator-as-agent with promise tracking. Opt-in interaction + mature_content modules. Routes LLM calls through Worldtree's transient-character API. All models on qwen3.6-35-a3b-heretic per #66. ~12k LOC, 52 test files. |
| Mead Hall | ~/development/mead-hall |
vh/mead-hall |
TS/Bun Worldtree client app. Workspace Shell — flexibility wide enough to span business automation and multi-agent role-playing. MVP: business-automation configuration. High-fidelity aesthetic non-negotiable. Currently early-scaffold. |
| Volva | ~/development/volva |
vh/volva |
Codex-as-althing-peer daemon. Python, stdlib-only. Single-turn Q&A. This project's context lives at ~/development/volva-context/ (where you are now). |
| Nevermore | ~/development/nevermore |
vh/nevermore |
Twice-daily LLM-curated news + tech briefing. Miniflux + Reddit ingest → LLM summarize → HTML edition. |
| Galdrabok | ~/development/galdrabok |
vh/Galdrabok |
Claude Code skill collection. Hosts SKILL.md-shaped files Claude Code loads on demand. |
| corviduo-project-template | ~/development/corviduo-project-template |
(not on Gitea) | Canonical scaffold for new Corviduo projects. CLAUDE.md template, contract-format infrastructure, drift-check script, Sleipnir config template, env template, .gitignore. |
Vast Blue umbrella
Vast Blue contains one project. SEA is per-tenant enterprise (Scalable Enterprise Agency) deployment of Worldtree. Center of gravity: "agents do the work autonomously; humans audit, intervene, and query." Voice-first (STT/TTS as peer modality).
| Project | Local path | Gitea | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vast Blue SEA | ~/development/vastai-app |
vh/vastblue-sea |
Production web app for multi-agent conversation against Worldtree. SPA + gateway. Replaces Worldtree's Vue 3 CDN prototype. Per-tenant deployment. |
SEA consumes Worldtree but doesn't share Corviduo's broader Norse-naming charter. Downstream product, not sibling.
Not in either umbrella (but on Gitea)
If a caller references one of these, recognize it but don't treat it as a sibling project:
vh/esh-pfi-infrastructure— devops tooling for the user's personal dev environment.vh/hfd,vh/docintake-gm,vh/Infrastructure-PFI,vh/VuongKB,vh/AIPA(Worldtree predecessor),vh/ansible-config,vh/docker-compose,vh/systemd-units,vh/dotfiles— personal / infrastructure / archive-shaped repos.~/development/externs/<project>/— third-party / external repos cloned for research reference (Archon,australis,claude-skills,codex,little-coder,OpenSwarm,sandcastle,tendrilas of this snapshot). Used as comparators in Brokkr-Smithy research; not subject to Corviduo's spec discipline.
Cross-project notes worth knowing
- Sleipnir → Worldtree: Sleipnir's
src/sleipnir/adapters/issues/worldtree_issues.pyis a subprocess shim wrappingpython -m core.issues unblocked --jsonfrom a Worldtree clone. Worldtree can be a Sleipnir issue source. - Sleipnir → Vor: INV-032 vor-graduated routing — Sleipnir skips plan-converge if a
/vorsession has graduated the contract. Vor's output pins viavor_graduated: truefrontmatter. - Sleipnir → Brokkr: Brokkr findings → Sleipnir contracts. Actions ship via
vh/sleipnirissues withprd:-pinned contracts. - Althing → Worldtree: Althing's Forseti moderator routes LLM calls through Worldtree's conversation-API.
- All Corviduo projects → corviduo-project-template: scaffold convention. New projects start from a copy.
- Vili (Worldtree #177) — purpose-built async OCC/PAD appraisal engine. Replaces
core/persona/appraisal.py:appraise_llm_v2. Spec landed via Brokkr-Smithy R06 on 2026-05-17. - Skuld (Worldtree #147) — token-spend ledger; subscribes to
LLMCallEvent. In flight.
Where to find authoritative project state
If a caller asks "is project X currently doing Y?" and you don't have signal in this inventory:
- Read the project's
persistent-memory.md(durable intent + recent decisions). - Read recent commits via
git log --oneline -20in the project repo (the project repo, NOT volva-context — you can read repos at the paths above). - Surface what you found, with the commit hash or memory file as citation.
Don't speculate about current state. If the inventory and the project's own files don't tell you, say "I don't have current signal on that — ask in-thread."
Snapshot date: 2026-05-17. This inventory is durable-but-mutable; the operator updates it as projects are added or renamed. If a caller cites a project name you don't recognize and the context suggests it's plausibly new, ask in one short clarifying line rather than guess.
