Mind Sessions with Archer
The Archer agent panel that reads your application state and proposes changes you can apply in one click.
Mind Sessions are the surface where you work directly with Archer: a floating agent panel that can read any part of your application and return proposals you can apply with one click.
If the orchestration engine is the circulatory system, Mind sessions are the interface you use when you want to drive something specific.
Read freely, write by proposal
The core safety rule of Mind sessions is simple: Archer can read anything in your application without asking, but it can never silently change anything.
When Archer decides a change should be made, it returns the change as a proposal. You see the full diff, the reason behind the proposal, and an Apply button. Nothing actually changes until you click Apply. This is true for essays, for facts, for narrative elements, and for deadlines.
Two actions are exceptions and are applied immediately because they are additive and safe: recording a new fact about yourself and marking a deadline complete. Everything else is proposal-first.
Persistent, per-session memory
Each Mind session is persistent. Open the panel, ask a question, close the panel, and come back the next day. The session is exactly where you left it. You can start a new session when you want a clean context, or continue a session when you want continuity.
Archer also reads from your broader Profile Memory in every session, so it never needs to be re-told the basics about you.
Multi-step work
Archer does not just reply with a single answer. A single turn can involve planning, reading several parts of your application, calling multiple tools, and then returning a final response with a proposal attached. You can watch the plan and the tool calls in the panel in real time.
Every tool call and every proposal Archer makes is logged as an audit trail on the session. If something changes and you do not remember why, you can scroll back and see exactly what Archer did.
How it fits in the engine
Mind sessions are the interactive surface on top of the orchestration engine. The engine runs on its own schedule to surface next actions and keep your portfolio moving, but when you want to drive something manually ("rewrite this paragraph in my voice", "tell me why this essay feels thin", "draft an outreach to this alum"), Mind is where you do it.
