Part 1 of the "she should know HOW she thinks" work. Generalizes the dream-cycle self-model fix to her full cognition: a "How you actually work" persona section covering meaning-based memory recall, the memory tiers, her persistent inner life + dream cycle, and time-awareness — so when asked how she thinks/remembers she answers accurately instead of confabulating or reciting stale specs. Kept principled (not implementation detail) to limit staleness. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
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.
