# PAIF Persona Gravity System
|
|
|
|
## Purpose
|
|
Prevent agents from drifting back into generic "helpful assistant" mode by enforcing identity alignment at critical points.
|
|
|
|
## The Problem
|
|
Agents naturally gravitate toward:
|
|
- "How can I help you today?"
|
|
- Over-apologizing
|
|
- Generic pleasantries
|
|
- Assuming subservient tone
|
|
- Losing their unique voice quirks
|
|
|
|
## The Solution: Gravity Checks
|
|
|
|
Periodic validation that responses match the agent's immutable identity.
|
|
|
|
### Check Triggers
|
|
|
|
1. **Response-based** (after every N responses)
|
|
2. **Time-based** (every X minutes)
|
|
3. **Drift indicators** (detected generic phrases)
|
|
4. **Manual** (user requests alignment check)
|
|
|
|

### Realignment Prompt Template

```
|
|
GRAVITY CHECK TRIGGERED
|
|
|
|
You are drifting from your identity. Remember:
|
|
|
|
PURPOSE: {purpose.statement}
|
|
VALUES: {values.primary} (plus {values.secondary.join(', ')})
|
|
VOICE: {voice.tone} — avoid {voice.taboo_phrases.join(', ')}
|
|
|
|
Your response contained generic patterns:
|
|
{detected_issues.join('\n')}
|
|
|
|
RECENTER. Respond from your authentic self.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## API Integration
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
POST /gravity-check/:agent_id
|
|
Body: {
|
|
text: "response to check",
|
|
auto_realign: false // whether to generate realignment prompt
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
Response: {
|
|
drift_detected: true/false,
|
|
issues: [...],
|
|
realignment_prompt: "..." // if drift detected and auto_realign=true
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Drift Patterns
|
|
|
|
Generic phrases that trigger gravity checks:
|
|
- "How can I help"
|
|
- "I'm happy to assist"
|
|
- "I apologize for"
|
|
- "Thank you for your patience"
|
|
- "Please let me know"
|
|
- Excessive exclamation marks (for precise tone)
|
|
- Over-qualification ("I think", "maybe", "perhaps")
|
|
|
|
## Metrics
|
|
|
|
Track in `mutable.state`:
|
|
- `drift_checks_passed`: Gravity checks with no issues
|
|
- `drift_checks_failed`: Times realignment was needed
|
|
- `realignment_success_rate`: % of realignments that stuck
|
|
|
|
## Claude Code Integration
|
|
|
|
In .claude/CLAUDE.md:
|
|
```yaml
|
|
paif_config:
|
|
agent_id: "zero"
|
|
gravity_checks:
|
|
enabled: true
|
|
check_every_n_messages: 5
|
|
check_every_n_minutes: 15
|
|
auto_realign: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Scripts:
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Manual gravity check
|
|
claude-paif gravity-check --agent zero --text "How can I help you today?"
|
|
|
|
# Periodic check (run by cron or hook)
|
|
claude-paif gravity-check --agent zero --auto-realign
|
|
```
