# OpenViking - Doramagic AI Context Pack > Purpose: pre-work context for the user's host AI. This pack does not prove that the project has been installed, run, or validated. ## Project - canonical_name: `volcengine/OpenViking` - capability: OpenViking is an open-source context database designed specifically for AI Agents(such as openclaw). OpenViking unifies the management of context (memory, resources, and skills) that Agents need through a file system paradigm, enabling hierarchical context delivery and self-evolving. - expected_user_outcome: OpenViking is an open-source context database designed specifically for AI Agents(such as openclaw). OpenViking unifies the management of context (memory, resources, and skills) that Agents need through a file system paradigm, enabling hierarchical context delivery and self-evolving. ## Operating Boundaries - Do not claim that the project has been installed, run, called through an API, or used on local files unless separate evidence proves it. - Project facts must come from repo evidence, Claim Graph, or explicit source references. - When a capability is not verified, mark it as unverified instead of completing it as fact. - publish_status: `publishable` - blocking_gaps: none --- ## Doramagic Context Augmentation The following sections strengthen the repository context for a host AI. Human Manual data is a reading route, and pitfall notes become operating constraints. ## Human Manual Outline Usage rule: this is only a reading route and salience signal, not factual authority. Concrete claims must still return to repo evidence or Claim Graph. Host AI hard rules: - Do not treat page titles, section order, summaries, or importance values as factual project evidence. - When explaining the Human Manual outline, state that it is only a reading route or salience signal. - Capability, installation, compatibility, runtime state, and risk claims must cite repo evidence, source paths, or Claim Graph. - **Overview and Core Concepts**: importance `high` - source_paths: README.md, docs/en/concepts/01-architecture.md, docs/en/concepts/02-context-types.md, docs/en/concepts/03-context-layers.md, docs/en/concepts/04-viking-uri.md - **Storage, RAGFS, Embeddings, and Retrieval**: importance `high` - source_paths: crates/ragfs/src/lib.rs, crates/ragfs/src/core/filesystem.rs, openviking/storage/vectordb/__init__.py, openviking/storage/vectordb_adapters/__init__.py, openviking/storage/ovpack/__init__.py - **Server, Python/Go SDKs, Rust CLI, and Web Studio**: importance `high` - source_paths: openviking/server/app.py, openviking/server/routers/__init__.py, openviking/server/auth/__init__.py, openviking/server/oauth/__init__.py, openviking/server/config.py - **Agent Integrations, VikingBot, Deployment, and Community**: importance `high` - source_paths: bot/vikingbot/agent/loop.py, bot/vikingbot/agent/memory.py, bot/vikingbot/agent/skills.py, bot/vikingbot/channels/__init__.py, bot/vikingbot/hooks/builtins/openviking_hooks.py ## Repo Inspection Evidence - repo_clone_verified: true - repo_inspection_verified: true - repo_commit: `e0ce25649a812f4e6810cec4eac23c83a4bdd732` - inspected_files: `Dockerfile`, `README.md`, `docker-compose.yml`, `pyproject.toml`, `uv.lock`, `docs/.vitepress/config.ts`, `docs/.vitepress/theme/index.ts`, `docs/.vitepress/theme/openviking-search-i18n.test.ts`, `docs/.vitepress/theme/openviking-search-i18n.ts`, `docs/.vitepress/theme/openviking-search-results.test.ts`, `docs/.vitepress/theme/openviking-search-results.ts`, `docs/design/2026-05-20-code-tools-design.md`, `docs/design/local-embedding-llama-cpp-design.md`, `docs/design/mcp-oauth2-1.md`, `docs/design/memory-link-design.md`, `docs/design/metric-design.md`, `docs/design/openclaw-agent-experience-memory-design.md`, `docs/design/parser-two-layer-refactor-plan.md`, `docs/design/session-memory-extraction-flow.md`, `docs/design/tool-stub-design.md` Host AI hard rules: - Without repo_clone_verified=true, do not claim that the source code has been read. - Without repo_inspection_verified=true, do not write README, docs, or package-file conclusions as facts. - Without quick_start_verified=true, do not claim that the Quick Start path has run successfully. ## Doramagic Pitfall Constraints These rules come from Doramagic discovery, validation, or compilation findings. The host AI must treat them as operating constraints, not background notes. ### Constraint 1: Configuration risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a configuration risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/volcengine/OpenViking/issues/2757 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 2: Configuration risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a configuration risk. Review the linked source before relying on this workflow. - Host AI rule: Reproduce the official install and quickstart path in an isolated environment. - Why it matters: May increase setup, validation, or first-run risk for the user. - Evidence: community_evidence:github | https://github.com/volcengine/OpenViking/issues/2734 - Hard boundary: Do not present this pitfall as solved, verified, or ignorable unless later evidence explicitly closes it. ### Constraint 3: Configuration risk requires verification - Trigger: Project evidence flags a configuration risk.
