# Type II Civilization Roadmap

Agent SkillOS starts as a practical operating system for self-improving agents. Its long-term purpose is larger: convert increasingly powerful intelligence into safe, reusable, distributed capability across science, infrastructure, energy, robotics, compute, and space systems.

## North-star thesis

```text
Superintelligence is valuable only if it can be operationalized.
SkillOS is the operating layer that turns intelligence into governed capability.
```

## Civilization capability stack

```text
1. Skill capture
2. Skill testing
3. Skill distribution
4. Tool and robot execution
5. Scientific acceleration
6. Industrial automation
7. Energy infrastructure acceleration
8. Space infrastructure acceleration
9. Kardashev-scale capability coordination
```

## Near-term path

Start with workflows that are repetitive and measurable:

```text
Sales operations
Support triage
Finance reconciliation
Research summaries
Engineering code tasks
Manufacturing documentation
Energy project analysis
Robotics task planning
```

## Long-term path

The same loop can eventually be applied to civilization-scale domains:

```text
More scientific jobs → better research skills
More engineering jobs → better design skills
More robotics jobs → better physical execution skills
More energy jobs → better infrastructure skills
More space jobs → better off-world construction skills
```

The compounding mechanism remains the same:

```text
Work → Trace → Learn → Skill → Test → Release → Improve
```

## Important constraint

Type II civilization is a north-star trajectory, not a guaranteed result. SkillOS is useful because it gives increasingly capable agents a governed way to accumulate and distribute capability.
