Amplifier Book
This is a small, static “mental model” website for understanding Amplifier’s architecture: the kernel, module system, profiles, hooks, collections, and how applications (including the CLI) compose them.
Scope note
The CLI is a useful starting point, but it’s only one application. This book is primarily about Amplifier as a platform
you can build multiple apps on (CLI, web apps, services, IDE integrations), using the same kernel contracts and module
ecosystem.

What Amplifier is
A modular AI assistant platform. The CLI is one “app” built on the platform.
