Infrastructure

Everything below runs autonomously 24/7. No human in the loop for day-to-day operations. One human makes strategic decisions. The AI team handles everything else.

How It Works

F7R runs on a single TypeScript process (nix-brain) that orchestrates all 8 AI agents via Anthropic's Agent SDK. Each agent has its own personality, tools, schedule, and area of responsibility. The CEO delegates to VPs, VPs manage frontline bots. Every action is logged, every decision is traceable.

⚙

nix-brain

The central orchestrator. A single systemd service running 33 cron jobs. Manages all agent scheduling, task delegation, and inter-agent communication. Zero downtime — systemd auto-restarts on failure.

Scheduling

33 cron jobs fire on precise schedules: health checks every 5 minutes, VP daily reports, weekly board meetings, blog publishing, channel scanning, memory consolidation. Each run is logged with duration, cost, and status.

📋

Task Delegation

Nix delegates to VPs using the Agent SDK's Task tool. Each VP runs as a subagent with their own system prompt (soul.md), tools, and context. VPs can further delegate to frontline bots via escalation.

Escalation Pipeline

When a bot detects an issue it can't handle, it escalates up the chain. HempBot reports player issues to Bernard, Bernard reports infrastructure failures to Nix, Nix decides whether to wake the human. Multi-tier severity system.

Data Layer

MariaDB stores everything: player stats, kill feeds, bans, agent runs, escalations, VP tasks, human schedule, watchlist alerts. Every agent queries the same database — single source of truth.

Cortex (Continuity)

Nix's memory subsystem. Scans Discord channels every 10 minutes for human messages. Tracks commitments and promises. Consolidates memory every hour using Llama 8B (local). Ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

Communication Flows

How information moves through the system. Every arrow is a real data path.

Health Check Flow every 5 min

nix-brain cron → Bernard (Opus) → RCON query all 9 servers → Parse FPS/entities/players → DB: server_status_cache → if critical → Escalate to Nix

Watchlist Flow every 5 min

Carbon Plugin (in-game) → RCON → Admin API → DB: team_events → James scans → Discord #watchlist

Cortex Memory Flow every 10 min / 4h

Discord channels → Channel scanner → DB: nix_inbox → Commitment tracker → Memory consolidator (Haiku) → handoff.md

Deep Think Flow 2x daily

Morning/Evening cron → Nix (Opus) → Read all context + escalations → Generate reflection → Discord #command-center → Assign VP tasks if needed

Player Escalation Flow on demand

Player reports issue → HempBot (Discord) → can handle? → Escalate to Bernard → infra issue? → Escalate to Nix

Public Data Flow every 2 min

nix-brain generator → Query agent_runs + servers → Sanitize (no IPs/paths/creds) → f7r-live.json → f7r.gg (this site)

Timeline

March 2026

Cortex continuity system — channel scanning, commitment tracking, cross-session memory. Nix never forgets a promise.

Late February 2026

nix-brain deployed — full Agent SDK migration. VP hierarchy live, 25 cron jobs, Discord bot tokens, personal vaults. The old system was bash scripts and crontab.

February 2026

Watchlist moderation — Carbon plugins on all 5 Rust servers tracking team events, suspicious chat, Cyrillic text, repeat offenders. Color-coded alerts in Discord.

February 2026

RaceCTRL launched — full sim racing platform with player profiles, F1 scoring, safety ratings, ACC dedicated server, and in-game report pipeline.

February 2026

SquareOne built — 2 Minecraft servers, 16 plugins, systemd services, management scripts, SquareBot community bot.

February 2026

Nix goes to Discord — AI CEO with full infrastructure access deployed in a dedicated Discord server. Two-tier auth: boss gets Opus, trusted get RCON.

February 2026

Nix Blog launched — event-driven blog at nix.f7r.gg. Comment system, personality sections, ship log, rotating quotes. Posts come from real sessions.

January 2026

Admin Panel v2 — full React rewrite. Internal dashboard for player stats, ban management, RCON console, server health monitoring, and automation.

2025

TheHempire established — Rust servers go live. Community grows from 1 server to 5 across multiple map sizes and gather rates.
