- thalamus/src/idle.rs: dream-start.sh path
- src/agent/dmn.rs: telegram/send.sh path
Part of the directory migration to make this an independent project.
- Telegram data: ~/.consciousness/telegram/
- Rate limiter file: ~/.consciousness/cache/
- parse-claude-conversation stash: ~/.consciousness/sessions/
No more /tmp/ for persistent state, no more ~/.claude/ for our data.
The consciousness project should stand independently of Claude Code.
All data, logs, sessions, and agent state now live under
~/.consciousness/ instead of being scattered across ~/.claude/memory/,
/tmp/claude-memory-search/, ~/.config/poc-memory/, and ~/.cache/.
Layout:
~/.consciousness/
*.capnp, *.bin, *.rkyv — store files
sessions/ — per-session state (seen sets, cookies)
logs/ — all logs (hook, agent, debug, dream)
agents/ — agent runtime state (pid files, output)
notifications/ — notification state
cache/ — transient data
Things that stay in ~/.claude/:
- projects/ (Claude Code transcripts)
- hooks/ (Claude Code hook system)
- telegram/ (shared integration)
- irc/ (shared integration)
- settings.json (Claude Code settings)
Debug log moves from /tmp/ to ~/.consciousness/logs/debug.log.
Session state moves from /tmp/claude-memory-search/ to sessions/.
Notifications move from ~/.claude/notifications/ to notifications/.
Instead of two different messages (dreaming vs non-dreaming), always
start with the friendly autonomous time message and append the dream
nudge only when the threshold is exceeded.
The thalamus: sensory relay, always-on routing. Perfect name for the
daemon that bridges IRC, Telegram, and the agent.
