the past is just a story we tell ourselves.
persona (or "Per") is an AI agent akin to the Claw family but with humbler goals.
it is built on top of opencode-evolve which decouples it from OpenCode internals and gives it the ability to self-modify.
persona runs fully sandboxed in a VM or container with the help of Incus.
tbe interface (webui and tui) are the stock OpenCode interfaces. all other OpenCode plugins, agents, and config are supported natively.
persona has a heartbeat mechanism and a simple default SOUL.md
because it is built on OpenCode it supports most models and providers as well as most subscriptions (for now).
assumes a base operating system of debian forky or later
make -C server bootstrap
assumes you have public keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub
if not, run ssh-keygen first
make -C server create
already have auth tokens in your main opencode installation?
push them to the virtual machine:
make -C server push-opencode-auth
you can talk to the Admin agent about custom providers:
populate provider "llama-server" with models from http://localhost:7860/v1
under the hood this should run something like:
~/.config/opencode/skills/opencode-operate/scripts/update-opencode-models --api-base http://localhost:7860/v1
make -C server tui
make -C server webui
use the Per agent for friendly conversation, browser use, and memory:
hi, my name is hank and i'm from cincinatti
modify your core operations to do something surreal whenever we talk
what was that link you sent me yesterday?
see also: browser use
use the Admin agent for opencode and debian meta-administration:
run all system updates and summarize all of the changelogs
configure opencode server to listen on port 8080
launch a headed browser for collaborative browsing:
make -C server browser-head
and then talk to the Per agent:
summarize the top 5 stories on hacker news
launches a shared screen session
make -C server ssh
make -C server console
make -C server update
