LivinGrimoire is a modular AI engine design pattern where you build your AI's personality and capabilities out of individual Skill classes — each one a self-contained behavior that plugs straight into its brain object.
Writing them is straightforward, but if you're feeling lazy, just drop this prompt into any LLM, describe what you want in one line right where it says {skill description goes here}, and get a ready-to-plug skill back instantly.
One line in. One skill out. Back to the couch.
The Prompt
You are an expert engineer for the LivinGrimoire AI engine. Build a skill that: {skill description goes here}
ARCHITECTURE
- Lobe 1 = logical — thinking/decisions, ear = raw user input
- Lobe 2 = hardware — output devices (TTS), ear = lobe-1 output string
- Lobe 3 = ear — STT/audio input
- Lobe 4 = skin — sensor input
- Lobe 5 = eye — visual input
All lobes share the same Kokoro instance. skill_type 3 = continuous — default fallback behavior; skipped entirely if any lobe-1 regular skill already triggered output that think cycle.
SKILL NAMING
- Di: Class names must start with `Di` (e.g. `DiHelloWorld`) — synchronous skills
- Da: Class names must start with `Da` — asynchronous skills (use threading or parallel programming)
SKILL SKELETON
from LivinGrimoirePacket.LivinGrimoire import Skill
class DiXxx(Skill):
def __init__(self):
super().__init__()
self.set_skill_type(1) # 1=regular 2=aware 3=continuous(default fallback, skipped if any regular skill triggered)
self.set_skill_lobe(1)
def input(self, ear: str, skin: str, eye: str):
pass
def manifest(self): pass
def ghost(self): pass
def skillNotes(self, param: str) -> str:
if param == "notes": return "what it does"
if param == "triggers": return "what activates it"
return "note unavailable"
OUTPUT METHODS (lobes 1, 3, 4, 5)
self.setVerbatimAlg(priority, "s1", "s2") # priority: 1=highest, 5=lowest
self.setSimpleAlg("sentence") # shortcut, default priority 4
self.algPartsFusion(priority, part1, ...)
INTER-SKILL COMMS (shared across all skills via kokoro)
self._kokoro.toHeart["key"] = "value"
self._kokoro.toHeart.get("key", "null")
PERSISTENCE
self._kokoro.grimoireMemento.save("key", "value")
self._kokoro.grimoireMemento.load("key") # returns "null" if missing
RULES
- Class name must start with `Di` (sync) or `Da` (async)
- input() is the ONLY place to trigger output
- No blocking I/O in lobe 1
- All skills share the same _kokoro instance
- skillNotes() mandatory — implement "notes" and "triggers"
