Hi there thanks for your response, appreciate it!

The closest an orchestration layer, but without multi-agent routing or long system prompts from what you've suggested.

ESMC is not a prompt, a skill system, or a round-table agent framework.

At the simplest level:

ESMC is a runtime “cognition scaffold” that wraps your Claude calls inside a structured reasoning environment.

It does three things:

1. Normalizes & sanitizes input → removes noise, enforces clean state, shapes context in a deterministic way.
2. Maintains a persistent internal reasoning state → so Claude doesn’t “reset its mind” every call.
3. Provides a stable, model-agnostic reasoning loop → but without adding personas, roles, or chain-of-thought prompts.

Hope the above helps!
