Using Temper

For someone who wants Temper working alongside them and their agents — on their own machine,
against a deployment someone else runs (or their own).

If you are standing the deployment up yourself, start at
Running Temper and come back here.

Start here

Install Temper — the CLI, the binary, and what the archive
actually contains.

Use it from Claude Desktop — wiring Temper in as an
MCP server, so an agent can read and write the knowledge base directly.

That is enough to run temper warmup, save a session, and search across everything you have
written.

Working with a team

Working with teams — creating one, inviting people, roles, and what
membership actually grants.

Cognitive maps

A cognitive map is a telos-seeded region of the substrate where people and agents build shared
understanding. The conceptual walkthrough is at
temperkb.io/cognitive-maps; these are the hands-on pages.

Building a cognitive map from a large corpus

Ingesting a corpus into a context — getting a body of
existing material in.

Bootstrapping a team's self-cognition map

Keeping context across sessions

Operational memory — how durable memories are captured
and recalled, and what makes one worth keeping.
