Declare what's true.
Your agents will follow.
Ground truth for AI agents — verified facts in 12 tokens, not 12,000 tokens of context window.
# edicts.yaml — 47 tokens total
edicts:
- id: launch_date
text: "Product v2.0 launches April 15, NOT before."
category: product
confidence: verified
ttl: event
expiresAt: "2025-04-16" Hallucination
Agents state fiction as fact because they lack verified ground truth.
Context cost
Loading full memory burns 4K+ tokens. Every session. Most of it irrelevant.
Memory gap
Too heavy for cron jobs. Too expensive for lightweight sessions. Too scattered for multi-agent.
Edicts fills the gap between expensive memory systems and no memory at all.
How it works
Declare
Write verified facts in YAML. 12 tokens per fact.
# edicts.yaml
- text: "v2.0 launches April 15"
confidence: verified Inject
Edicts renders to your prompt automatically. 4K token budget cap.
const rendered = store.render();
// → "## Edicts\n- [product]..." Trust
Every agent sees the same ground truth. Zero hallucination risk.
// 5 agents, 1 edicts.yaml
// Same facts. Every session. Real problems, real fixes
