Building Blocks

Nenjo is built from a small set of resources that compose together. Each one has a simple job: shape what an agent knows, define what it does, orchestrate several agents into a process, or provide the container everything runs inside.

These resources fall into three families:

• Primitives — the units you compose. Context material (template variables, context blocks, knowledge graphs, memory) and the behavioral units that use it (abilities, domains, agents).
• Workflows — how primitives orchestrate into repeatable processes (routines and councils).
• Foundations — the containers and platform resources everything runs inside (projects, packages, models and tools, scopes).

The composition ladder

The primitives stack from raw material up to the unit that assembles them, and workflows orchestrate from there:

1. Context primitives — template variables, context blocks, knowledge graphs, and memory supply what an agent should know.
2. Behavioral primitives — abilities and domains add focused capabilities and user-activated modes.
3. Agents — assemble context and capabilities into a behavioral unit with a role.
4. Workflows — routines and councils orchestrate multiple agents into repeatable, inspectable processes.

You do not need all of them on day one. Most useful setups begin with a project and an agent, then add context, knowledge, abilities, domains, routines, and councils as the work becomes more important or more repeatable.

How they fit together
