botmaistro
A layered architecture designed for clarity, separation of concerns, and graceful degradation.
Surface Layer
User-facing interfaces, developer tools, and API surfaces. This layer handles all external interactions and provides the primary touchpoints for humans and systems.
Policy Layer
Policy enforcement, audit logging, compliance checks, and operational oversight. Every action passes through governance filters before execution.
Execution Layer
Tool orchestration, action execution, and multimodal perception. This layer transforms intent into concrete operations across connected systems.
Reasoning Layer
Memory management, context building, mode selection, and reasoning coordination. Maintains session continuity and orchestrates specialist agents.
Foundation Layer
Core infrastructure, data persistence, event bus, and foundational services. Provides the substrate upon which all higher layers operate.
How information moves through the system
Event enters through API, CLI, or automated trigger
Policy validation and permission verification
Memory retrieval and state reconstruction
Tool orchestration and action performance
State update and audit trail logging
Core tenets guiding architectural decisions
Every component can degrade without cascading failure. System continues operation even when subsystems are unavailable.
All state transitions, decisions, and actions are logged and auditable. No hidden processes or opaque operations.
Each plane has a single, well-defined responsibility. Clear boundaries prevent coupling and enable independent evolution.
Asynchronous, loosely-coupled communication enables scaling, replay, and temporal decoupling of operations.
Governance is not an afterthought. Every action is subject to policy constraints enforced at the architectural level.
Humans can intervene at any layer, any time. Automation serves humans, not the other way around.
