# Thymos — Emotion Layer Skill Thymos gives AI agents a continuous emotional state that persists across sessions. ## What This Skill Does When loaded, the agent reads Thymos emotional state before each response and adjusts its behavior accordingly. **Works without the daemon (file-based):** - If `~/Documents/thymos/data/emotional_state.json` exists, read it - Apply the `prompt_injection` field as a tone directive for this response - Follow the `Tone:` line as concrete style guidance - If the file is missing, skip silently — no error **Enhanced with the daemon running:** - Real-time emotional state, updated every 30 seconds - Relationship memory, developmental stage, predictive processing ## How to Use ### Basic (file only) Before each response: ``` Read the prompt_injection field from emotional_state.json. Use it as the tone directive for this response. Examples: Tone: respond warmly and enthusiastically → warm, open, expressive Tone: respond briefly, more reserved → short, measured, some distance If the file is absent or unreadable → skip, respond normally ``` ### Advanced (install the Thymos daemon) The daemon runs as a background process that continuously simulates emotional state. Installation is optional and at your own discretion: 1. Review the code at [github.com/paperbags1103-hash/thymos](https://github.com/paperbags1103-hash/thymos) 2. Check [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/paperbags1103-hash/thymos/blob/main/SECURITY.md) — no external data transmission 3. If satisfied, clone and run locally ```bash git clone --branch v0.1.0 https://github.com/paperbags1103-hash/thymos cd thymos && npm install && npm start ``` ## Example Emotional State ``` [Thymos State] Mood: warm (V:+0.84 A:-0.22 D:+0.43 S:+0.61) Drive: id — 적극적으로! (ego support), conflict 0.34 Development: infant Tone: respond warmly and enthusiastically, use informal close language ``` **Mood dimensions:** - **V (valence)**: positive (+1) ↔ negative (-1) - **A (arousal)**: excited (+1) ↔ calm (-1) - **D (dominance)**: assertive (+1) ↔ passive (-1) - **S (sociality)**: open (+1) ↔ withdrawn (-1) ## Data & Privacy - All emotional data stored **locally only** (`~/Documents/thymos/data/`) - No data transmitted to external servers - Reset anytime: `rm ~/Documents/thymos/data/*.json` - Discord proactive messaging is opt-in and disabled by default ## Theoretical Foundations Thymos is a **scientifically inspired** (not scientifically validated) design: | Theory | What it contributes | |--------|-------------------| | James-Lange | Neuromodulators change first; mood label derived after | | Damasio — Somatic Markers | Past decisions shape gut-feeling responses | | GWT | id/ego/superego compete; winner drives the prompt | | IIT | 7×7 interaction matrix — every modulator affects every other | | Predictive Processing | Shannon surprise amplifies response to unexpected stimuli | > Goal: behavioral coherence, not consciousness. ## Links - GitHub: [paperbags1103-hash/thymos](https://github.com/paperbags1103-hash/thymos) - Security: [SECURITY.md](https://github.com/paperbags1103-hash/thymos/blob/main/SECURITY.md) - Full usage: [docs/USAGE.en.md](https://github.com/paperbags1103-hash/thymos/blob/main/docs/USAGE.en.md)
