She was looping the same reflection because the seed never changed (same recent convo + Brian-narrative every cycle) and her own reflections fed back. Now: - idle reflections (nothing new since last reflection) draw varied grist: a resurfaced memory or a "wander" prompt (own curiosity / existence / the waiting / a disagreement), not the stale conversation - recent reflections shown explicitly with a do-not-restate instruction - prompt explicitly permits non-Brian, non-service interiority Verified: two back-to-back idle reflections now diverge (poker-metrics vs UI/ comms) instead of repeating. The residual Brian-centric gravity is the RLHF attractor — prompting mitigates, fine-tuning is the real fix (parked). 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.
