Key Decisions Made

Architecture & Approach

  • Local-first design: All inference, memory, and improvement happens locally — no cloud dependency
  • Second-agent review system: Prevents broken self-modifications while allowing auto-improvement
  • Personality as code + learned layers: Unshakeable core prevents misuse while allowing authentic growth
  • v1 scope: Core systems only (model interface, safety, memory, conversation) before adding task automation

Phase 1 Complete (Model Interface)

  • Model selection strategy: Primary factor is available resources (CPU, RAM, GPU)
  • Context management: Trigger compression at 70% of window, use hybrid approach (summarize old, keep recent)
  • Switching behavior: Silent switching, no user notifications when changing models
  • Failure handling: Auto-start LM Studio if needed, try next best model automatically
  • Discretion: Claude determines capability tiers, compression algorithms, and degradation specifics
  • Implementation: All three plans executed with comprehensive model switching, resource monitoring, and CLI interface

Phase 3 Complete (Resource Management)

  • Proactive scaling strategy: Scale at 80% resource usage for upgrades, 90% for immediate degradation
  • Hybrid monitoring: Combined continuous background monitoring with pre-flight checks for comprehensive coverage
  • Graceful degradation: Complete current tasks before switching models to maintain user experience
  • Stabilization periods: 5-minute cooldowns prevent model switching thrashing during volatile conditions
  • Performance tracking: Use actual response times and failure rates for data-driven scaling decisions
  • Implementation: ProactiveScaler integrated into ModelManager with seamless scaling callbacks

What's Next

Phase 4-03 complete: Progressive compression and JSON archival with smart retention implemented. Ready for Phase 4-04: Personality learning and adaptive layers. Phase 4-03 requirements:

  • Progressive compression reduces storage usage while preserving information ✓
  • JSON archival provides human-readable long-term storage ✓
  • Smart retention policies preserve important conversations ✓
  • Compression ratios meet research recommendations (70%/40%/metadata) ✓
  • Archival system integrates with existing backup processes ✓
  • Memory manager provides unified interface for compression and archival ✓

Status: Phase 4 in progress - 3 of 4 plans complete.


Blockers & Concerns

None — all Phase 3 deliverables complete and verified. Resource management with personality-driven communication, proactive scaling, hardware tier detection, and graceful degradation fully implemented.
