Getting Started
Your first steps into the world of sovereign memory containers
What is CONCH?
CONCH is a sovereign, permissioned container for memory, meaning, and artifacts across autonomous agents. It's the foundational primitive of Arcana OS—a system designed to protect privacy while enabling intelligent collaboration.
Unlike traditional databases that extract and centralize data, CONCH keeps memory with its owner while proving and sharing selectively through cryptographic protocols.
Installation
To get CONCH running on your machine, follow these steps:
npm install @conch/core
# or
pnpm add @conch/coreThis installs the core CONCH library. For more detailed setup instructions, see our installation guide.
Creating Your First CONCH
Once installed, creating a CONCH container is straightforward:
import { createConch } from '@conch/core';
const myConch = await createConch({
name: 'My Memory Container',
permissions: ['read', 'write'],
});This creates a new CONCH container with read and write permissions. You can now store memory, meaning, and other artifacts within it.
