- Action primitives for flexible governance processes
- Temporal awareness for multi-day proposals and voting
- Audit trail with constitutional citations
- Reversible actions with supermajority veto
- Works with local (Ollama) and cloud AI models

Platform support:
- Mastodon: Full implementation with streaming, moderation, and admin skills
- Discord/Telegram: Platform abstraction ready for implementation

Documentation:
- README.md: Architecture and overview
- QUICKSTART.md: Getting started guide
- PLATFORMS.md: Platform implementation guide for developers
- MASTODON_SETUP.md: Complete Mastodon deployment guide
- constitution.md: Example governance constitution

Technical stack:
- Python 3.11+
- SQLAlchemy for state management
- llm CLI for model abstraction
- Mastodon.py for Mastodon integration
