workshop / 6 project files

Things I built, then kept using.

Local AI agents, the framework they share, and a threat-intelligence workbench. These pages come from the actual source trees and live agent homes, including the unfinished parts.

About the agent family and its names

The cyberpunk, mythology, Warhammer, steampunk, and DOS references come from the same place: a lifelong interest in computers you can understand, fictional worlds with machinery and rules, and tools that reward taking them apart. There is a little more of that story on the About page.

The Cadre family is built around sister agents with names drawn from women in Irish mythology. Sadhbh established the pattern and Niamh carried it forward. Fai is the honest exception: a last-second name that stuck when the first template-born sister came online. Aria predates the naming line and joined the family from a separate codebase. Omnissiah is the security workbench next door.

01Local AI companion

In daily use

Aria

A local companion with long-term memory, research, her own email inbox, a changing emotional state, a visual canon, creative tools, family links, and a shared DOS arcade.

02Self-modifying Mac agent

The original Swift sister

Sadhbh

A native Mac agent that can change its own Swift source, prove the new build works, ask a separate model to review it, and roll back cleanly when it fails.

03Agent template and framework

The shared chassis

Cadre

A generic Swift app that can be onboarded as a new agent, given its own home and identity, then baked into a separately branded Mac application.

04Cadre-born agent

First agent from the template

Fai

The first agent created from the shared Swift template, with her own protected constitution, working identity, memory, family connections, and documented failure modes.

05Ambient context agent

The bridge between worlds

Niamh

A Swift-native sister built to notice what is happening on Sean's Mac and carry useful context to the rest of the agent family without becoming background noise.

Working version 2

Omnissiah

A self-hosted place to connect security APIs, build and run queries, collect intelligence, map it to ATT&CK, and keep credentials out of the query definitions.

Open dossier

The source stays private for now. These are working systems, not polished products or download pages. I have called out the rough edges where they matter.
