- 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.
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.
