Summer Era

Fleet doctrine, research, and canon archive. The rebuild starts here.

Summer Era is the working archive of Hines Creative’s fleet rebuild. The Spring fleet drifted — variants went quiet, canon docs contradicted themselves, lessons got lost. This site holds the recon that mapped the drift, the research that informed the rebuild, the verified facts that survived fact-checking, and (eventually) the design doc that becomes the new doctrine.

It is not a finished thing. It is the workshop floor.

Fleet Recon

What we found when we audited the existing fleet — variants, recent activity, broken canon.

Extracted Canon

Concepts and facts pulled out of the existing doctrine that survive the cleanup.

Research

Five parallel research streams: tools, frameworks, memory architectures, community signal, indexing tech.

SDK Patterns

How production agent SDKs structure persona, ethos, runtime — plus reverse-engineered Claude Code internals.

Prior Art

8 GitHub repos and 14 blog posts mined for patterns worth stealing.

Verified Findings

Every research claim cross-checked against the official Anthropic docs. Retractions called out.

If you only want to read three things:

  1. Reading order → — orientation map
  2. Variant audit → — what the fleet actually looks like
  3. Cross-reference audit → — what every report agrees and disagrees on

If you want the source-of-truth, start with Extracted facts and Verified Claude internals.
