THE IDENTITY CORE FOR AI
A living map of who you are, recorded for your AI. Your personality, taste, voice, values, purpose, and aesthetic, with the context it needs for your life, work, and brands.
A vibegraph is a living map of who you are, recorded for your AI. Formally, it is the network of identity, context, knowledge, and memory that governs how AI thinks, writes, and acts for one human, and any businesses they own or operate. vibegraph.ai is a guided builder for personal identity and context for AI. vibegraph.md is the open framework, which you can use by hand without an account or purchase. VIBEGRAPH.md is the uppercase filename of your root file. vibegraph.md is the lowercase framework and website name. See actual demo results and the reproducible archive

WHAT YOU BUILD HERE
Your Core Identity is free: the Big Five and Enneagram assessments, an integrated reading, and your Ikigai with Claudia, the in-app AI assistant. Bring assessment results you already have, too. Choose the areas of life and work your AI should know about.
Personal Use gives you seven elements of personal context. Personal Brand expands them to twelve elements in words and eight in visuals. Make the visuals in your own design tool with the builder's prompts, then record the results and asset locations.
Build brands for the businesses you own or operate. Each stays nested under you, with its own foundations, 12 written elements, and 8 visuals. Personality assessments are optional on the business path.
HOW IT WORKS
The guided builder writes the center of your vibegraph with you. The open framework gives it a shape your tools can read.
Personal Use for your life and work. Personal Brand for how you show up online and in public. Business Brand for the businesses you own or operate. Start from scratch or bring what you have. Claudia helps you work through the questions.
Export VIBEGRAPH.md with your identity and completed brand files, Context Sources, and only the areas you chose. The folder includes instructions that point agents to the root file first, plus a paste bundle for chats.
Use the exported files in a project or paste their content into a chat. Connect is an optional $9 monthly subscription for supported tools to read the hosted center and map live, with grants for Claude, Codex, Cursor or whatever AI agent you use, with a log of every served read.
Coming soon: the vibecheck. Once a month it looks back at the month before, shows you how your vibes are changing, and suggests updates you approve in a few clicks. Nothing changes without your OK, and you can add what only you know anytime.
Choose the path that fits what you need. You can build personal context without a personal brand, or start a business brand without taking personality assessments. Claudia asks the questions, you decide what the finished words should say.
Bring assessment results, an Ikigai, brand documents, or notes you have already written. The builder helps you use that material and fill the gaps. You can write directly or work through the guided questions.
Finish your Brand Context, then take your partial vibegraph, 8 prompts, and a brief into your design tool, such as Figma or Claude Design. Make the visuals there, record the 8 elements in the builder, and tell it where the assets live. Your export includes the recorded values and asset locations. The builder does not generate logos or imagery.
WHERE EVERYTHING ELSE FITS
Register the systems you already use as Context Sources. Pick one to see where it fits.
These are examples of where tools fit. Registering a tool does not connect it or import its contents. None is required.
START WITH IDENTITY
A vibegraph is the network of identity, context, knowledge, and memory that governs how AI thinks, writes, and acts for one human, and any businesses they own or operate.
KIND: SOURCE · SCOPE: SCOPED
Register a notes vault or workspace as a Context Source. Choose areas such as Career or Health, then add entries that point to the relevant material. Nothing moves into the builder. A tool can follow a pointer only if it has access to that location.
KIND: MEMORY · SCOPE: SCOPED
Memory layers remember what happened. A vibegraph defines who you are. Register a memory system as a Context Source and give your tools the identity and brand context you want them to use. A registry entry describes the system; it does not synchronize it automatically.
KIND: PROJECT · SCOPE: SCOPED
Add the handoff stanza to a project's AGENTS.md or CLAUDE.md so a capable agent knows to read VIBEGRAPH.md first. Where AGENTS.md tells an agent how to work on your code, a vibegraph tells an agent how to work as, and for, you.
KIND: AGENT · SCOPE: PUBLIC
A clone can use the parts of your vibegraph you choose to share. A vibeclone pointed inward works for you; pointed outward, it speaks for you. Register the agent and state its scope. The builder does not create or run a clone.
TWO SIBLINGS, ONE FOUNDATION
A vibeclone is your vibegraph pointed inward as an agent that works for you, or outward as a clone that speaks for you.
Learn moreA LITTLE MORE CONTEXT
Your notes, memories, and projects can stay where they are. Register their systems as Context Sources, then use areas to organize pointers by subject. Your vibegraph tells a capable tool who you are and where to look. It does not copy every source into the builder.
A vibegraph is context you write, review, and can export as files. You choose the statement of who you are and how your brands should sound. Memory can build on that statement as you work. Registering a memory system does not automatically update it.
Yes. You can edit it anytime. Coming soon, a monthly vibecheck will look back at the month before, show you how your vibes are changing, and suggest updates you approve in a few clicks. It only reads what you have connected and granted, and nothing changes without your OK.
The root file. It names the person, links the parts of the graph, and tells an agent what to read and when. The open specification at vibegraph.md defines its format. Give the files to a tool that can read them, use a paste bundle, or add Connect for supported tools to read the hosted content live.
You can bring assessment results you already have. The built-in Big Five and Enneagram assessments, your integrated reading, and your Ikigai are included in the free Core Identity. Personality assessments are optional on the business path. The business still stays anchored to you as a person.
Choose Personal Use. It gives you seven elements of personal context, Context Sources, and export. Your Core Identity and areas are free. If you later want a full personal brand, upgrade by paying the difference and keep the work you have already done.
The builder writes your Brand Context and prepares a brief and eight prompts. You make the visuals in your design tool, then record the results and asset locations in the builder. Brand Visuals are included with Personal Brand and business brands.
Yes. Personal + 1 Business includes one business brand. Each additional business is a $49 one-time purchase before any applicable launch discount. Each has its own foundations and brand files, nested under you. You can be the owner, a staff member, or an agency operator. Team sharing is not included.
Connect lets supported AI tools read your hosted vibegraph live, with grants for each connected tool and a log of every served read. It costs $9 a month on any tier, including free. Cancel any time; your grants are kept if you return. Connect does not unlock a higher build tier.
Connect serves the center and map you have built in vibegraph.ai, subject to that tool's grants. An area's entry can tell it where notes or a resume live. That pointer does not give Claude access to your computer, notes account, or another service. The tool needs its own way to reach that source and your permission to use it.
You can access your account's content. The hosted builder's operator and systems can also read stored content: it is encrypted in transit and at rest and scoped to your account, but it is not zero-knowledge storage. AI features send the content they need to providers under a no-train policy. Connected tools receive the public, always-read core and any further content you grant to that tool. You can instead use the open framework as local files on hardware you control.
Core Identity is free. The one-time list prices are $19 for Personal Use, $79 for Personal Brand, and $149 for Personal + 1 Business. Each additional business is $49. Upgrades cost the difference. Connect is an optional $9 monthly subscription on any tier. Launch discounts apply to eligible one-time purchases; the pricing page explains the offer and the app shows what you will pay.
Yes. You can make a vibegraph by hand from the open specification. Templates, schema, and code use the MIT license; prose uses CC-BY 4.0. The word vibegraph is a lowercase common noun. vibegraph.ai is one builder for it.
