How does the Housekeeping feature work?

TARS runs a silent 'session-start gate' that performs version checks, archives expired content, and validates your workspace index files to ensure your data never becomes stale.

How does TARS handle external integrations?

It utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to provide Claude with secure read/write access to your calendar and task management tools.

Does TARS learn from our conversations?

Yes, TARS includes proactive learning triggers that detect new information—like a team change or a new initiative—and asks for permission to save it to your long-term memory.

What are TARS decision frameworks?

These are specialized routing protocols that allow TARS to switch into specific modes like 'Stress Test' to find flaws in a plan or 'Debate' to navigate high-stakes political or technical conflicts.

TARS Core is a strategic intelligence layer for Claude that acts as a persistent executive assistant, managing your professional context, tasks, and organizational knowledge.

It transforms Claude from a stateless chat bot into a sophisticated strategic partner that remembers organizational hierarchies, tracks calendar events via MCP, manages tasks, and applies specialized mental models—such as stress-testing or debate—to complex business problems.
