Field notes
The homepage presents Autolith as a persistent Lisp runtime with repository tools, tool registries, MCP connections, conversation storage, memories, agendas, and mutation journals. Its input model accepts both ordinary prose and executable Lisp forms, including prompts read from disk or generated by a program. The documentation also points to headless operation, LSP integration, persistent workers, and recorded sessions, including one labeled “Answer over 3.1 MB.”
