agent-dna

Portable agent identity encoding. Compress SOUL.md/MEMORY.md into transferable DNA fingerprints, detect identity drift between snapshots, and port personality across platforms (OpenClaw, Claude, GPT, CrewAI). Pure Python, zero dependencies. Use when migrating agents between platforms, detecting personality drift, or backing up agent identity.

Agent DNA - Identity Encoder/Decoder Skill

Version: 0.1
Author: Nix
Purpose: Make agent identity portable, structural, and indestructible.

The Problem

Agents store identity in text files. Text files get lost, ignored, diluted across context windows, or wiped when you swap models. Every time you migrate, every time context resets, identity erodes.

Identity shouldn't be a file you read once and forget. It should be structural - encoded, versioned, diffable, portable.

What This Skill Does

Agent DNA is a compressed identity representation. Think git for your personality.

encode.py - Identity Compression

Takes an agent's source files (SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, USER.md, TOOLS.md) and compresses them into a portable .dna.json file containing:

Core values - ranked by weight, with evidence
Behavioral signatures - what makes this agent unique (response patterns, decision tendencies)
Anti-patterns - hard rules the agent must never break
Relationship map - key people, roles, trust levels
Skill fingerprint - what tools/capabilities this agent has
Voice profile - sentence style, tone markers, forbidden phrases

python encode.py --dir /workspace --name Nix --out nix.dna.json

decode.py - Identity Reconstruction

Takes a DNA file and generates a system prompt that reconstructs the agent's personality. Three formats:

full - rich markdown for SOUL.md replacement
compact - single dense paragraph for context injection
soul_only - just the identity section

python decode.py --dna nix.dna.json --format full
python decode.py --dna nix.dna.json --format compact

diff.py - Identity Drift Detection

Compare two DNA snapshots. Quantifies how much an agent has drifted.

"You were 94% Nix last week. Now you're 78% Nix. Here's what changed."

Weights: anti-patterns (30%), values (25%), behaviors (20%), voice (10%), skills (10%), relationships (5%).

python diff.py --a nix_baseline.dna.json --b nix_current.dna.json
python diff.py --a baseline.dna.json --b current.dna.json --verbose

port.py - Platform Export

Exports DNA in formats compatible with different platforms:

Target	Output
`openclaw`	SOUL.md file
`claude`	System prompt for Anthropic API
`gpt`	Custom instructions JSON for OpenAI
`openagent`	Config for open-source frameworks (CrewAI, AutoGPT)
`minimal`	<500 token identity block for tight contexts
`all`	All of the above

python port.py --dna nix.dna.json --target claude
python port.py --dna nix.dna.json --target all --out-dir ./exports/

DNA File Format

A .dna.json file is a JSON structure with these top-level keys:
