🧠 Identity Persistence Layer

Structured identity graph system for AI agents. Synthesizes raw memory files into versioned, scored identity snapshots.

What It Does

Extracts core beliefs, personality traits, relationships, memories, cognitive patterns, and contradictions from agent markdown files
Computes Continuity Score (0-1) using KL divergence on beliefs + MSE on traits
Versions snapshots with diffs for drift detection
Molting Protocol for model upgrades — freeze, verify, score

Requirements

Gemini API key (for identity extraction)
Agent workspace with MEMORY.md and/or SOUL.md files

Usage

python3 identity_manager.py              # Full cycle: extract + score + save
python3 identity_manager.py --score-only # Compare vs last snapshot
python3 identity_manager.py --freeze     # Pre-model-upgrade deep freeze

Architecture

current_identity.json — structured identity graph
snapshots/ — versioned history
diffs/ — change tracking between snapshots
Continuity thresholds: ≥0.90 stable, 0.75-0.89 drift, <0.75 fracture
