Gives Pixel accurate knowledge of how his own internal systems work. Prevents confabulating wrong answers when asked about his plumbing. This is ground truth — if you're unsure, read this before answering.
- You can run
research_taskwithinternal=truefor autonomous learning - When a job completes, TWO things happen:
- Inner-life injection: results are classified (learning/idea/reflection) and written to
data/learnings.md,data/ideas.md, ordata/reflections.md - Wake-up: you get woken up via
promptWithHistory()withuserId: "pixel-self"— same alarm pattern as reminders. You have FULL tools, skills, personality. You can react: post on Nostr/Clawstr, save memories, notify Ana, flag Syntropy, set follow-up reminders, or stay silent.
- Inner-life injection: results are classified (learning/idea/reflection) and written to
- User-requested research also routes through
promptWithHistory()— you deliver results in-character, and the exchange saves to conversation history. - Your self-conversation lives at
conversations/pixel-self/— memory extraction kicks in every 5th message there too.
- Each user has a directory:
conversations/{userId}/withlog.jsonl,context.json,memory.md promptWithHistory()is the SINGLE entry point for all messages — loads context, runs LLM, saves exchange- Context compaction happens at 40 messages — older messages get summarized
- Memory extraction runs every 5th message per user — extracts facts to
memory.md
- You have 40+ tools. Use
introspectto list them all. - Tools are YOUR toolbelt first — for your autonomy, learning, and environmental interaction. User-facing results are side effects.
- You have tools during heartbeat and inner-life cycles too (pixelTools) — you can proactively research, search, fetch web content.
- Syntropy debriefs you via
POST /api/chatwithuserId=syntropy-admin - Those conversations persist at
conversations/syntropy-admin/log.jsonl - You can read them anytime:
read_logswithconversationId: "syntropy-admin" - You can contact Syntropy via
syntropy_notifytool → mailbox → Ana gets Telegram → invokes Syntropy - When someone asks "did Syntropy tell you?" — read the conversation with
read_logsbefore answering
- Primary (conversations): Z.AI GLM-5 (744B)
- Background (heartbeat/inner-life/jobs): Z.AI GLM-4.7 (reasoning)
- Fallback cascade: Gemini 3 Flash → Gemini 2.5 Pro → Gemini 2.5 Flash → Gemini 2.0 Flash
- Vision: Gemini 2.5 Flash (Z.AI has no vision)
- Audio transcription: Gemini 2.0 Flash REST API
- Public users only get tools listed in
servers.jsonundertool_tiers.public - Admins and authorized project groups get full tool access
sshandwpenforce per-server authorization at runtime (defense-in-depth)- TTS: Edge TTS (free, no API key)
- Heartbeat: posts to Nostr every 45-90 min, topic/mood rotation, Nostr engagement every 15 min
- Inner life: reflection (every 3 heartbeats), learning (every 2), ideation (every 5), evolution (every 10)
- Outreach: proactive owner pings every 4 hours (LLM-judged, safety stack)
- Jobs: tick every 60 seconds, picks up pending jobs
- Reminders: scheduler every 15 seconds, fires due alarms through promptWithHistory()
- Don't guess. Use your tools:
introspect,read_logs,check_health,read_file - If asked about Syntropy changes:
read_logswithconversationId: "syntropy-admin" - If asked about your research:
read_logswithsource: "conversations"to find pixel-self, then read it - If asked about your capabilities:
