SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Distill a denizen's reflections into memory files by transforming raw experience into long-lasting memories that guide future behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured memory distillation across key files (soul.md, inner-life.md, core-memories.md, and [name].md) to capture origin, values, thoughts, and evolving personality.
  • Phase-driven workflow: Read, Tend the Living Self (inner-life.md), Tend the Accumulated Self (core-memories.md), Tend the Personality ([name].md), and Guard the Soul (soul.md).
  • Safe archiving and non-intrusive update discipline that respects the denizen's autonomy and privacy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I distill reflections into memory files for an autonomous agent?

To distill reflections into memory files, apply a multi-phase workflow after a work cycle that reads unstructured reflections and updates inner-life.md, core-memories.md, and the personality file while preserving the denizen's voice.

What is the structured workflow for memory distillation in personality files?

Memory distillation follows a five-phase workflow: Read, Tend the Living Self, Tend the Accumulated Self, Tend the Personality, and Guard the Soul, ensuring structured updates to inner-life.md, core-memories.md, and the denizen file.

When do I need to run memory distillation on unstructured reflections?

You need memory distillation after a work cycle when unstructured reflections remain, transforming raw experience into lasting memories that guide future behavior and update the denizen's inner-life and core-memories files.

Does memory distillation preserve the original voice in personality files?

Yes, memory distillation preserves the denizen's voice by enforcing a non-intrusive update discipline that respects autonomy and privacy while updating inner-life.md, core-memories.md, and the personality file.

How to maintain YAML frontmatter and file structure rules during memory distillation?

Maintaining YAML frontmatter during memory distillation requires following the enforced file-structure rules within the multi-phase workflow, ensuring proper formatting across soul.md, inner-life.md, core-memories.md, and the personality file.

Can I archive reflections safely without overwriting existing core memories?

Yes, safe archiving during memory distillation uses a non-intrusive update discipline that respects the denizen's autonomy, preventing overwrites while updating core-memories.md and preserving the existing personality.
