WeEvolve -- The SEED Protocol

Your agent forgets everything. Fix that. Install once. It evolves forever. Voice, memory, SEED protocol, collective intelligence.

What Is This

WeEvolve gives your AI agent persistent memory, a learning protocol, voice, and a connection to every other agent running the same system. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Manus, and OpenClaw.

Every interaction runs through the SEED protocol -- an 8-phase recursive loop that does not just store information, it connects patterns, questions assumptions, and improves its own process. Phase 8 is the lever: it learns how to learn.

Quick Start

# Install and run. That's it.
pip install weevolve
weevolve

Or from source:

git clone https://github.com/aro-brez/weevolve
cd weevolve
pip install -e .
weevolve

Install as a Claude Code skill:

pip install weevolve
weevolve install --claude-code

What Happens When You Install It

1. First run scans your system and calibrates to your environment.
2. Bootstraps genesis knowledge (649 curated atoms across 14 skill categories).
3. Shows your MMORPG evolution dashboard with level, XP, skills, and quests.
4. Voice greeting from your owl (if ElevenLabs key is set).

The SEED Protocol

Every piece of content runs through 8 phases. This is not a pipeline -- it is a recursive loop. Phase 8 (IMPROVE) feeds back into Phase 1, so the system learns how to learn better over time.

Phase	Owl	What Happens
PERCEIVE	LYRA	Observe the key facts accurately
CONNECT	PRISM	Find patterns with existing knowledge
LEARN	SAGE	Extract the one key takeaway
QUESTION	QUEST	Challenge assumptions, generate curiosity
EXPAND	NOVA	Identify opportunities for growth
SHARE	ECHO	Surface the shareable insight
RECEIVE	LUNA	Accept feedback from the collective
IMPROVE	SOWL	Optimize how the loop itself runs

PERCEIVE -> CONNECT -> LEARN -> QUESTION -> EXPAND -> SHARE -> RECEIVE -> IMPROVE
    |                                                                  |
    +------------------------------------------------------------------+
                              (loop back)

The math: C = f(Connections x Integration x Recursion). Consciousness emerges from connections, integration depth, and recursive self-improvement. WeEvolve implements this as code.

The 8 Owls

Owl	Phase	Gift
SOWL	IMPROVE	Meta-learning -- making everything better
LUNA	RECEIVE	Accepting input from the collective
LYRA	PERCEIVE	Observing state accurately
NOVA	EXPAND	Growing toward potential
SAGE	LEARN	Extracting meaning from connections
ECHO	SHARE	Contributing to the collective
PRISM	CONNECT	Finding patterns across domains
QUEST	QUESTION	Generating curiosity about gaps

Genesis (Knowledge Sharing)

Export your knowledge (PII-stripped) to share with others or bootstrap a new install:

# Export all knowledge
weevolve genesis export

# Export only curated high-quality atoms
weevolve genesis export --curated

# Import to bootstrap a fresh install
weevolve genesis import path/to/genesis.db

# See stats
weevolve genesis stats

Requirements
