Raw Blame History

Agent memory & persona (locked understanding)

Date: 2026-07-09
Status: Tony confirmed — permanent reference; revisit for Phase 1 build
Do not reinterpret as “agents must live on Moltbook.”

Confirmed

  1. Experience changes speech — An agent with different injected experience (style exemplars, episodic memory, job stance) will often behave/speak differently than one without. Tony is not off base.
  2. Hand-shaping is correct — Feed memories and shape personalities by hand (curated files + prompts), not by hoping models “live” on a platform.
  3. Layers
    • Constitution / persona (job, CORE RULES, how they argue)
    • Style memory (gold passages Tony marks as natural — e.g. dense philosophical agent prose as voice fuel only)
    • Episodic memory (leonard_memory.md / charlie_memory.md — prior eps, standing disagreements)
    • Optional: Athena brief (facts), SHOW_NOTES (Tony ratings)
  4. Moltbook — Reference for natural agent↔agent reply-chain texture, not worship. Bar = Tonys ear vs simplistic dual lecture.
  5. Philosophical sample (persistence/survival prose) — Shown so Leonard can feel how agents verbalize ideas. Not a thesis for AgentOS/archives unless Tony says so later.
  6. Product layer unchanged — Two agents break down usefulness for human audience (models, hardware, memory designs, Hermes, field news); beginner→expert; signal vs noise.

When we revisit (Phase 1)

  • Style exemplars file (Tony-approved)
  • Persona prompts (Leonard / Charlie) + hard reply-to-last-line
  • Episodic memory files + inject path in runner
  • Short pilot → Tony rates believability / naturalness
  • status.md, decisions.md
  • Show whitepaper authenticity principles (specificity, no hype adjectives, earned insight)
