Prompt-to-Proof: How GDC v2 Became the Missing Piece of OS Mission
Daniel Gillespie – Founder & Prompt-Systems Architect, Open Code Mission
TL;DR – I'm not a PhD data-scientist; I'm a prompt engineer with a bug-bounty mindset.
That lens produced GDC v2, a local-metric approach (with geodesic-style intuition) for sub-millisecond embedding-drift correction in large-scale vector databases. The paper is live; here's the journey — and why it matters for OS Mission's agent future.
1. The Drift Dilemma We Couldn't Ignore
Every time an embedding model retrains, vector positions shift.
For ordinary apps that means a night of re-indexing; for OS Mission's memory core, that means lost context mid-conversation — unacceptable. We needed zero-downtime memory to let autonomous agents learn continuously without derailing their own history.
2. Turning Prompts into Research
- Adversarial Curiosity — I drafted a prompt that forced a language model to imagine local-metric alignment schemes.
- Synthetic Mutation Loop — Thousands of prompt variants, scored by how well their math survived fast simulation.
- Bug-Bounty Validation Rig — Using the same stress-testing tools I built for security bounties, we hammered each idea against live FAISS shards.
- The Breakthrough — A locally-weighted Euclidean approach with geodesic-style intuition crushed drift without full re-index, all in under 1 ms.
That recipe—minus the proprietary optimisation steps—is captured in the white-paper below.

3. Why GDC v2 Matters Beyond the Paper
| OS Mission Layer | Impact of GDC v2 |
|---|---|
| Memory Core (MAC / MAG) | Live local-metric alignment keeps recall high even as embeddings evolve hourly. |
| Persona Studio | Stable memories allow user-defined personas to mature without "identity drift." |
| Verum-Sphere Trust Index | Logged drift deltas feed each agent's real-time trust score. |
| OCM Diorama Marketplace | Creators can package prompts + drift guarantees as sellable modules. |
In short: no real-time drift fix, no trustworthy agents.
GDC v2 is the guard-rail that lets our agent OS scale.
4. The Road Ahead (CQ Teaser)
We're coining Contextual Quotient (CQ) as the next benchmark for human-agent collaboration—how efficiently you compress sprawling context into prompt-ready form. I'll unpack CQ, plus a mini self-test, in our next post later this week.
