Creed

What Creed is

Creed is a personal context file for AI agents. It gives connected tools a shared profile that describes who you are, what you are working toward, how you like AI to respond, and the routines or constraints that should shape its answers.

The product is built around a simple loop: you create a concise Markdown profile, agents read it before they respond, and they can propose small updates when they learn something durable. That keeps the context current without forcing you to repeat yourself in every tool.

Key capabilities

Structured context profile

Creed stores personal context as a structured Markdown profile with sections for identity, goals, work, preferences, routines, and optional sections like beliefs, constraints, people, health, and broader context.

MCP-based agent access

Connected agents read the profile before answering, so they can use the same background across tools instead of starting from zero in each conversation.

Proposal-based updates

When an agent learns something durable, it can propose a focused edit to the right section rather than rewriting the entire file.

Section quality scoring

Each section gets a quality score and signal review to help sharpen vague or thin writing over time.

Review and permission controls

Users can approve proposed changes, reject them, or allow trusted agents to edit directly on selected sections.

Hosted workspace options

Hosted plans add cross-device sync, backups, managed auth and storage, and an OpenRouter BYOK option for model spend.

Practical ways to use Creed

  • Personal AI context

    Set up a concise profile that captures your role, goals, preferences, and routines so agents can answer with the right context from the start.

  • Cross-tool continuity

    Connect your everyday tools and let them read the same profile, reducing repeated explanations as you move between assistants.

  • Reviewable context maintenance

    Use proposal-based edits to let AI capture durable preferences or routines without letting it rewrite the file unchecked.

  • Shared team context

    Give a team one shared Company Creed so every member’s agents follow the same conventions, constraints, and working style.

  • Hosted workspace management

    Keep context current on hosted plans with sync, backups, managed auth and storage, and optional BYOK if you want model spend on your own key.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Keeps a single context profile available to multiple connected AI tools.
  • Uses small, reviewable edits instead of large rewrites when context changes.
  • Supports direct-edit permissions for trusted agents and review for everything else.
  • Offers self-hosted and hosted options, including cross-device sync and backups on hosted plans.
  • Includes a Company plan for shared team context, roles, and activity tracking.

Cons

  • The source does not provide a full list of third-party integrations beyond the examples and GitHub support.
  • Some hosting, backup, and account-management features are tied to the hosted plans rather than the self-hosted build.

FAQ

What is Creed used for?

Creed is a personal context profile: a concise Markdown file that captures who you are, what you are working toward, how you like AI to respond, and the routines and constraints it should respect. It is designed to be read by connected agents before they answer.

How does Creed stay up to date?

You can write the profile yourself through onboarding, then connected agents read it over MCP and propose small updates when they learn something durable. You approve the good changes, or grant direct-edit access to trusted agents on specific sections.

Which tools does Creed work with?

Creed connects to agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and ChatGPT over MCP, and it integrates with GitHub for version control. The docs also mention that support for Notion and Obsidian is coming for editing and storage.

Is Creed only for individuals?

Yes. The Company plan adds one shared Company Creed, member roles, section permissions, and an activity view. Members can read the shared file through their own agents, while owners and admins control billing and content.

Does Creed require its own AI spend?

Hosted plans include usage credits and support BYOK, which means you can use your own OpenRouter key so model spend runs on your account. If you stay within the included allowance, the hosted plan covers the usage; otherwise you can top up or use your own key.
