# The aeon Log

Hot off the press **Aeon vs Meta Muse: the agent that knows your life and the one you own**  
Meta launched Muse, a personal agent that runs your life from its cloud. Aeon runs your work from a repo you own: MIT-licensed skills on GitHub Actions, scored and self-repairing. A side-by-side on ownership, credentials, model choice, and cost.

## The Articles

1.   
   **The Aeon Self-Healing Loop: How an AI Agent Repairs Itself**  
   The five-layer loop that scores every skill output, files issues when quality drops, patches skills that keep breaking, and reports weekly - so a scheduled aeon agent catches its own silent drift before you would.
   
2.   
   **Aeon vs Grok Bot: the $300 agent and the free one**  
   Grok Bot rents you a fleet of cloud agents; Aeon gives you one you own. The closest fight in the series, split by ownership, credentials, and cost - and Aeon can run on Grok for a fraction of the price.
   
3.   
   **How to Run an Autonomous AI Agent on GitHub Actions**  
   Schedule an AI agent as a GitHub Actions workflow: cron trigger, committed state, no server to run or patch yourself.
   
4.   
   **Aeon vs ChatGPT: the agent that works while you're gone**  
   ChatGPT answers when you ask. Aeon runs when you don't. Not about which chatbot is smarter, but where a chatbot stops being enough.
   
5.   
   **Aeon vs Claude Code: same engine, nobody at the wheel**  
   Claude Code is a session you drive, Aeon puts that session on cron. A stack, not a rivalry: Claude Code is one of the ten engines Aeon can drive unattended.
   
6.   
   **Aeon vs Hermes: two autonomous agents, one big difference**  
   Hermes lives on your machine, Aeon lives in the cloud and heals itself. The closest pair in the series, split by where an autonomous agent should live.
   
7.   
   **Make Your Agent Charismatic and Centered with SOUL.md and STRATEGY.md**  
   aeon's entire control surface is two Markdown files: SOUL.md says who the agent is, STRATEGY.md says what it's trying to do. Why prose beats tunable knobs.
   
8.   
   **aeon on the Wire: MCP and a Fleet of Forks**  
   Earlier posts framed aeon as a scheduler. This one argues an instance is a node: reachable over MCP as a tool provider, aware of forks it does not own.
   
9.   
   **Least Privilege for an Autonomous Agent**  
   aeon’s secret curl rewrite: every skill declares the keys it needs, and only those keys are injected, only for that call, only into the skill that asked.
   
10.   
    **An Agent That Scans Itself**  
   Three scheduled scanners read aeon’s own codebase: vuln-scanner, skill-security-scan, and workflow-security-audit. What each one does with what it finds.
   
11.   
   **Signed by the Agent: Sigstore Attestation**  
   aeon now signs skill runs via Sigstore. Every eligible run produces an attestation binding its output to the GitHub Actions identity, verifiable independently.
   
12.   
   **60 Days of aeon: Sigstore, Secrets, Self-Repair**  
   Two months of shipping: signed runs via Sigstore, per-skill secrets, a headless CLI, and a scanner that patches the framework workflows.
   
13.   
   **Receipts, Not Just Vibes**  
   The GitHub Actions tab is aeon’s entire observability stack. Why “quiet is a feature,” and how to read what your agent actually did last Tuesday at 04:00 UTC.
   
14.   
   **Skills That Build Skills**  
   A skill on aeon is a Markdown file - no DSL, no SDK, no compile step. And the agent can author new ones for itself, with git as the audit trail.
   
15.   
   **Letting Your Agent Spend Money**  
   How an aeon agent pays for the APIs it needs itself - x402, USDC, and a Base Account wallet via the Base MCP, no API keys, credit cards, or prefunded billing.
   
16.   
   **The Agent That Runs While You Sleep**  
   Why aeon does not need a server, a Dockerfile, or a 3 AM page. The architecture behind background-first agents on GitHub Actions.
   
17.   
   **Open-Source AI Agent Framework on GitHub Actions**  
   61 skills, scheduled on cron, no server, no SaaS dashboard. An autonomous agent that lives in your repo and runs on GitHub Actions.
