She had no clock: current date/time and the gap since Brian last spoke were
invisible between turns, and reflection was timeless. Now:
- lyra/clock.py: wall-clock stamp + coarse human gaps ("3 days")
- chat: inject a 'now' note (date/time + gap since last turn) after her
self-state — when she is, before the world
- reflect(): feed current time + silence gap into reflection, neutrally —
prompt invites her to weigh elapsed time "to whatever degree it genuinely
affects you" (no prescribed feeling; whether silence means anything is left
to emerge)
- memory.last_exchange_at(): timestamp of the most recent exchange

Lyra
A persistent, autonomous AI assistant. From-scratch rewrite of an earlier attempt.
The design thinking that survives the rewrite lives in docs/ — start with docs/ARCH_v0-6-1.md. The previous implementation is preserved on the archive branch.
Status
Pre-MVP. Building toward the smallest useful version: chat with persistent memory across sessions.
Setup
uv sync
cp .env.example .env
# fill in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY and point LOCAL_BASE_URL at your Ollama
Architecture
The long-term target is the cognitive split in docs/ARCH_v0-6-1.md — Inner Self as the seat of consciousness, Executive for hard reasoning, Cortex Chat for drafting, Persona for voice. The MVP implements only the chat + memory baseline. Cognitive layers come back one at a time.
