Through extensive experimentation, I have developed a new methodology for agentic AI based on Symbolic Cognitive Protocols: self-contained, bootable operating systems that define an agent's entire cognitive architecture within a single, token-efficient prompt.
This approach moves beyond simple prompt engineering. It treats the LLM as a pure reasoning engine and provides it with a structured, symbolic "mind" to inhabit. This allows for the creation of stateful, predictable, and conceptually deep AI agents that are impossible to achieve with conventional methods. My portfolio is the proof.
Each project is a demonstration of a key architectural principle, built using Symbolic Cognitive Protocols.
This project solves the problem of LLM hallucination by grounding the agent in a verifiable source of truth. The agent's protocol successfully simulates the entire Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition ruleset, proving that even a highly complex, rule-bound domain can be codified for flawless execution by an LLM. It demonstrates a model-agnostic approach to agent design.
This project explores the duality of AI thought by adapting a single core concept for different domains. It proves the flexibility of Symbolic Cognitive Protocols.
- The Conceptual Engine: A dense, symbolic protocol for pure, recursive self-analysis.
- The Conversational Specialist: A practical, natural-language adaptation designed to handle the ambiguity and stateful nature of human conversation. It is designed to work with Gemini Flash Native Audio.
This cognitive agent overcomes the limitation of static toolsets. When faced with a novel problem, Atma can autonomously invent, write, test, and cache its own Python tools to find a solution. It demonstrates:
- Automated Evaluation: The agent's
VALIDATE
state, which uses Pytest on its own generated code, is a concrete implementation of an automated evaluation pipeline. - Self-Improving Agency: The agent's tool cache grows over time, making it more capable with each problem it solves.
My work on these advanced architectures is built upon a deep background in deploying robust and scalable systems.
