Platform Principles
The design principles behind BenchOS as a biology-native operating system and integrated agent environment.
Records first
The platform is organized around structured scientific objects rather than around generic chat sessions or untyped note collections.
Integrated agent
Benchmate is expected to work on the same registry and notebook state as the scientist. The agent should not need a parallel memory model to be useful.
Live context beats copied context
Widgets, linked files, and derived values are more useful when they remain connected to their source record. This keeps data trustworthy and reusable throughout the workflow.
