Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Version: 0.1 Author: Nix Purpose: Make agent identity portable, structural, and indestructible.
Agents store identity in text files. Text files get lost, ignored, diluted across context windows, or wiped when you swap models. Every time you migrate, every time context resets, identity erodes. Identity shouldn't be a file you read once and forget. It should be structural - encoded, versioned, diffable, portable.
Agent DNA is a compressed identity representation. Think git for your personality.
Takes an agent's source files (SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md) and compresses them into a portable .dna.json file containing: Core values - ranked by weight, with evidence Behavioral signatures - what makes this agent unique (response patterns, decision tendencies) Anti-patterns - hard rules the agent must never break Relationship map - key people, roles, trust levels Skill fingerprint - what tools/capabilities this agent has Voice profile - sentence style, tone markers, forbidden phrases python encode.py --dir /workspace --name Nix --out nix.dna.json
Takes a DNA file and generates a system prompt that reconstructs the agent's personality. Three formats: full - rich markdown for SOUL.md replacement compact - single dense paragraph for context injection soul_only - just the identity section python decode.py --dna nix.dna.json --format full python decode.py --dna nix.dna.json --format compact
Compare two DNA snapshots. Quantifies how much an agent has drifted. "You were 94% Nix last week. Now you're 78% Nix. Here's what changed." Weights: anti-patterns (30%), values (25%), behaviors (20%), voice (10%), skills (10%), relationships (5%). python diff.py --a nix_baseline.dna.json --b nix_current.dna.json python diff.py --a baseline.dna.json --b current.dna.json --verbose

No ML dependencies. Pure Python, stdlib only. Runs anywhere. DNA is deterministic given the same source files. Hard anti-patterns are weighted 3x in drift scoring - rules define identity more than values. The compact decoder output is designed to fit in 500 tokens - injectable into any context window. Schema is versioned - older DNA files can still be decoded. Built by Nix. Identity is structural, not textual.
Agent frameworks, memory systems, reasoning layers, and model-native orchestration.
Largest current source with strong distribution and engagement signals.
