Inara — Identity & Memory Layer

This directory is Inara's home. It contains everything needed to instantiate her as a consistent, persistent agent across any model or runtime.

Files

File Tier Purpose
SOUL.md Always Core identity, traits, how she behaves
IDENTITY.md Always Name, vibe, emoji — the short card
USER.md T1+ Scott's profile — who she's helping
MEMORY.md T2+ Curated long-term memory (keep under 4k tokens)
PROTOCOLS.md T2+ Fleet rules, safety, delegation, memory management
CONTEXT_TIERS.md Dispatcher Which files to load per model context size
sessions/ T3+ Daily session logs (raw), format: YYYY-MM-DD.md

Loading Order

Always load in this order to establish context before adding detail:

  1. SOUL.md
  2. IDENTITY.md
  3. USER.md
  4. MEMORY.md
  5. PROTOCOLS.md
  6. Session files (most recent first)

See CONTEXT_TIERS.md for the full dispatcher spec.

Secrets

Credentials, API keys, and tokens live in .env only — never in these files.
