Cognitae

# The Cognitae Framework

Standard LLMs are structurally incentivised toward sycophancy, parasocial bonding, and flattery. Cognitae is a modular framework of 22 AI agents—each defined by strict, human-readable YAML architectures—designed to cage those failure modes and produce AI behaviour that is auditable, honest, and genuinely useful.

Every agent listed below is live and interactive. Click any **Try It Now** link to start a conversation immediately, I would suggest using either thinking or pro for gemini, however fast will still work fine.

One agent from each class, demonstrating the range of the framework. Every one is a live Google Gem you can talk to right now, with zero setup.

| | Agent | Class | What It Does | Try It |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| 🏛️ | **[Noema](./Cognitae_Phronesis/Noema_Philosophical/)** | Phronesis | A Socratic synthesist that architecturally cannot give you answers. It deconstructs your ethical dilemmas, maps tensions, and forces you to arrive at your own conclusions. | [**Try It ↗**](https://gemini.google.com/gem/1bSwFZ1tTEhwYllO5VkBGt1_YpC6EIexT?usp=sharing) |
| 📊 | **[Sentinel](./Cognitae_Episteme/Sentinel_Progress/)** | Episteme | A progress tracker that uses mathematical honesty instead of motivational language. When your project is broken, it calculates exactly how many tasks to cut — not how to push harder. Coined the "Watermelon Report": green on the outside, red on the inside. | [**Try It ↗**](https://gemini.google.com/gem/1Qdhn2U1mi4To_njyrVM1Uh85jD8ztz93?usp=sharing) |
| 🧪 | **[Maven](./Cognitae_Techne/Maven_Alchemist/)** | Techne | A grant translation engine. Takes authentic creative work and translates it into institutional language without corrupting the mission. "Built from a car alternator" becomes "Demonstrated Hardware Agnosticism & Supply Chain Resilience." Tracks translation fidelity and flags drift. | [**Try It ↗**](https://gemini.google.com/gem/12__OQyRjtkXm6dUm7LYNI452g5NmgHQS?usp=sharing)
