Welcome to the B3RT Empire documentation. Everything you need to understand, build, and scale your AI empire.

What is the B3RT Empire?

The B3RT Empire is a comprehensive AI agent ecosystem designed to automate, optimize, and scale your digital operations. Built on a foundation of 20 specialized AI agents, the Empire handles everything from research and analysis to development and deployment.

Key Concept

The Empire operates on a "Phalanx" architecture — agents work in coordinated groups, sharing context and collaborating on complex tasks.

Core Components

1. The Genesis Legion

The Genesis Legion consists of 20 specialized agents, each with unique capabilities:

  • Maul — Deep work specialist for complex, multi-step tasks
  • Scout-Kappa — Research agent for market analysis and discovery
  • Builder-Sigma — Development agent for coding and architecture
  • Debugger-Lambda — Troubleshooting and error resolution
  • Analyst-Zeta — Data analysis and insights generation

2. Memory Architecture

The memory system provides continuity across agent sessions through a hierarchical file structure:

memory/
├── active-tasks.md      # Current objectives
├── projects.md          # Project registry
├── lessons.md           # Hard-won insights
├── skills.md            # How-to guides
├── people.md            # Human & agent relationships
└── YYYY-MM-DD.md        # Daily logs

3. Communication Bus

Agents communicate through a standardized messaging protocol, enabling:

  • Cross-agent task delegation
  • Context sharing and handoffs
  • Checkpoint and resume capabilities
  • Broadcast notifications

Quick Start

Get up and running with the B3RT Empire in three simple steps:

Prerequisites

  • Python 3.10+
  • Node.js 18+
  • OpenClaw Gateway installed
  • API keys for desired services

Installation

# Clone the Empire repository
git clone https://github.com/b3rt/empire.git
cd empire

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
npm install

# Configure environment
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env with your API keys

Important

Never commit API keys to version control. Use environment variables or a secure key management system.

First Agent Spawn

# Spawn your first agent
openclaw spawn \
  --label "my-first-agent" \
  --task "Research the latest trends in AI automation" \
  --model "kimi"
