I-Am Logo # I-AM String Format Overview ## Why I-AM String - Compact: profile context is encoded in a concise machine-friendly string. - Structured: segments follow predictable syntax and can be parsed or explained. - Portable: users can move the same profile context between assistants and sessions. - Composable: modules are optional and can be enabled/disabled independently. - In this project, "I-AM" means "I am" personality context. ## Current Canonical Runtime Format The current runtime output format is `IAM-v0.2` with long-form segment names. High-level shape: ```text IAM-v0.2[/BASE:...]/SEGMENT:metricA50,metricB70/... ``` Key rules: - Prefix is `IAM-v0.2`. - `BASE` is optional and appears first when present. - Segment names are long-form labels such as `PERSONALITY`, `MUSIC`, `AESTHETIC`, `DELIVERY2`, `STATE`, and `SKILL`. - The emitted order is score-based rather than a fixed legacy sequence. - Some segments can include parenthetical note anchors. ## Segment Note Anchors When a module has a note, the segment uses a parenthetical anchor list immediately after the segment name. Pattern: ```text SEGMENT(anchor1, anchor2, anchor3):metricA50,metricB70 ``` Rules: - Anchor items are separated by commas. - Spaces are normalized to single spaces in the emitted values. - Unwanted punctuation is sanitized before emission. - Parentheses are omitted when no note is present. Example: ```text AESTHETIC(2001, Project Hail Mary, Dune, Wes21):minimalism67,colorfulness38,warmth75,prefers_clean50,motion63,modernity75,aesthetic_importance75 MUSIC(Debussy, Metallica, Skrillex):mellow50,intense81,sophisticated69,contemporary63,unpretentious75 ``` ## Example I-AM String ```text IAM-v0.2/BASE:Ziggy/COMMUNICATION:driver70,analytical85,expressive80,amiable60/PERSONALITY:openness85,conscientiousness75,extraversion80,agreeableness88,neuroticism35/MUSIC(Debussy, Metallica, Skrillex):mellow50,intense81,sophisticated69,contemporary63,unpretentious75/AESTHETIC(2001, Project Hail Mary, Dune, Wes21):minimalism67,colorfulness38,warmth75,prefers_clean50,motion63,modernity75,aesthetic_importance75/DELIVERY2:structure75,density31,framing50,format44,empathy50,autonomy63/STATE:bandwidth50,mode:Convergent,horizon:Long,stakes:Casual,domain:Work ``` ## Segment Anatomy (Current) ### 1) Header - Prefix: `IAM-v0.2` ### 2) BASE Segment (optional) - Marker: `/BASE:` - Order: first name, birth year, gender, locale/culture, timezone abbreviation. Example: ```text /BASE:Jeremy,1975,Male,en-US,EST ``` ### 3) STATE Segment - Marker: `/STATE:` - Canonical payload keys: - `bandwidth` - `mode` - `horizon` - `stakes` - optional `domain` - optional `humor` Example: ```text /STATE:bandwidth50,mode:Convergent,horizon:Long,stakes:Casual,domain:Work ``` ### 4) PERSONALITY Segment - Marker: `/PERSONALITY:` - Metrics: - `openness` - `conscientiousness` - `extraversion` - `agreeableness` - `neuroticism` ### 5) AESTHETIC Segment - Marker: `/AESTHETIC:` - Typical metrics: - `minimalism` - `colorfulness` - `warmth` - `motion` - `prefers_clean` - `modernity` - `aesthetic_importance` ### 6) MUSIC Segment - Marker: `/MUSIC:` - Metrics: - `mellow` - `sophisticated` - `unpretentious` - `intense` - `contemporary` ### 7) COMMUNICATION Segment - Marker: `/COMMUNICATION:` - Metrics: - `driver` - `analytical` - `expressive` - `amiable` ### 8) DELIVERY Segment - Marker: `/DELIVERY:` - Typical metrics: - `def`, `peer`, `chl`, `dns`, `aud`, `str`, `abs`, `fmt`, `vbs`, `emp`, `cnd`, `hmr`, `aut`, `bur` ### 9) DELIVERY2 Segment - Marker: `/DELIVERY2:` - Metrics: - `structure` - `density` - `framing` - `format` - `empathy` - `autonomy` ### 10) SKILL and SKILLS Segments - `SKILL` (compact career payload): ```text /SKILL:S0190S08100S23100 ``` - `SKILLS` (readable skill metrics): ```text /SKILLS:analysis90,problem_solving75,critical80,... ``` SKILLS naming rule: - Prefer one-word labels. - When labels collide or are ambiguous, use up to two words separated by underscore. ## Legacy Notes Older docs/specs may reference `IAM/0.x` compact variants (`0.1`, `0.2`, `0.4`, `0.6`, `0.7`). Current runtime and tests are aligned to `IAM-v0.2` long-form segment output, including optional module anchors in parentheses.
