The Ark Talk
A slide deck that walks the whole stack — from what an agent is, up through Ark, to where it's headed. It's the narrative companion to this book: the book documents the CLI as it ships; the talk frames why it's shaped this way and what comes next.
The deck is a self-contained, full-screen HTML app. Open it in its own tab for the real experience — a preview is embedded below it. Inside the deck: arrow keys (or click) to advance, F for fullscreen, O for an overview grid.
No iframe (print, or a text reader)? Open ark-deck.html directly.
What's in it
Four acts, climbing the stack:
| Act | Title | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| ① | Agents & harnesses | What an agent is; framework vs. harness; the seven-dimension harness framework; why the harness is load-bearing. |
| ② | Ark | Where Ark sits, the seven dimensions applied, tiers, the lifecycle, the atomic commit, subagents, specs, and the architecture. This is the part the rest of the book details. |
| ③ | ArkOS | RFC 001 — workflow as a service for agents instead of humans; the layered model; grounded self-evolution. |
| ④ | The future agent model | A fleet of isolated sandboxes — hypervisor below, one agent-plus-project per microVM, running autonomously at scale. |
Act ② is the shipped tool; everything in Workflow and Reference is its operational detail. Acts ③ and ④ are forward-looking — the direction, not yet the implementation.
