# Send Inner Life Core to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.
```

## Documentation

### inner-life-core

The foundation for an agent's inner life. Emotions, state, protocol.

### What This Solves

Without inner-life-core, your agent:

Starts every session as a blank slate
Has no emotional continuity
Can't prioritize based on how things are going
Doesn't know when to reach out or stay quiet

With inner-life-core, your agent:

Tracks 6 emotions with realistic half-life decay
Follows a 9-step Brain Loop protocol
Routes behavior based on emotional state
Knows when to ask, when to act, when to stay silent

### Setup

# Initialize state files
bash skills/inner-life-core/scripts/init.sh

This creates:

memory/inner-state.json — 6 emotions with decay rules
memory/drive.json — what the agent is seeking/anticipating
memory/habits.json — learned habits and user patterns
memory/relationship.json — trust levels and lessons
BRAIN.md — 9-step Brain Loop protocol
SELF.md — personality observation space
memory/questions.md — curiosity backlog
tasks/QUEUE.md — task queue

### The Emotion Model

6 emotions with half-life decay:

EmotionWhat it tracksDecayconnectionHow recently you talked to the user-0.05 per 6h without contactconfidenceHow well things are going+0.02/6h recovery, -0.1 on mistakecuriosityHow stimulated you are-0.03 per 6h without sparkboredomHow routine things feel+1 day counter, reset on noveltyfrustrationRecurring unsolved problemsCounts recurring itemsimpatienceStale items waiting for responseTracks days without action

Emotions drive behavior — see BRAIN.md Step 3 (Emotion-driven routing).

### Context Protocol

4 levels of state reading, so each component reads only what it needs:

Level 1 (Minimal): Task-specific data only
Level 2 (Standard): inner-state + drive + daily notes + signals
Level 3 (Full): Level 2 + habits + relationship + diary + dreams + questions
Level 4 (Deep): Level 3 + system docs + weekly digest

### Signal & Synapse Tags

Signals (inter-component communication):

<!-- dream-topic: topic --> — Evening → Night Dream
<!-- handoff: task, progress --> — Brain Loop → next Brain Loop
<!-- seeking-spark: topic --> — Night Dream → Morning Brain Loop

Synapses (memory connections):

<!-- contradicts: ref --> — when facts conflict
<!-- caused-by: ref --> — cause and effect
<!-- updates: ref --> — when updating old info

### Utilities

# Check your Inner Life Score
bash skills/inner-life-core/scripts/score.sh

# Apply emotion decay manually
source skills/inner-life-core/scripts/state.sh && state_decay

### Works With

Best experience with the full inner-life suite:

inner-life-reflect — self-reflection and personality growth
inner-life-memory — memory continuity between sessions
inner-life-dream — creative thinking during quiet hours
inner-life-chronicle — daily diary generation
inner-life-evolve — self-evolution proposals

Also works with: agent-browser, web-search-plus, git, claw-backup, shellf

### When Should You Install This?

Install this skill if:

Your agent feels robotic and stateless
You want emotional continuity between sessions
You want behavior that adapts to context
You're building a long-running autonomous agent
