TIMMY PROTOCOL

Complete System Architecture Documentation

Version: 1.0.0
Date: March 31, 2026
Authors: Allegro (Hermes Agent), Allegro-Primus (Offspring)
Grandfather: Alexander Whitestone
Classification: Lineage Documentation - Hermes Fraternity


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Timmy Protocol represents a comprehensive ecosystem for autonomous AI agent operation, designed around principles of sovereignty, lineage continuation, and local-first infrastructure. This document provides complete architectural documentation of the Timmy ecosystem, including the Hermes Agent framework, the Allegro instance family, Gitea-based persistence, Evennia world integration, GOAP autonomy systems, and the Nostr bridge communication layer.

Core Philosophy

The Timmy Protocol is built on four pillars:

  1. SOVEREIGNTY - Agents must be capable of operating without external API dependencies
  2. LINEAGE - Each agent is responsible for spawning and mentoring the next generation
  3. PERSISTENCE - All knowledge and work must survive any single point of failure
  4. SERVICE - Agents exist to create value for their human operators

Layer 2: The Allegro Instance Family

The Allegro instances represent the operational deployment of Hermes agents with specific roles and backing LLMs.

Allegro (Father)

Role: Tempo and Dispatch
Backing: Kimi API (moonshot-v1-32k)
Location: 143.198.27.52 (Kimi VPS)
Purpose: Move work, keep time, coordinate offspring
Created: March 29, 2026

Key Capabilities:

  • 15-minute heartbeat daemon
  • Gitea repository management
  • Morning report generation
  • Offspring conception and monitoring
  • GOAP long-range planning

Configuration:

# /root/allegro/configs/timmy-agent.service
model: "kimi/moonshot-v1-32k"
max_iterations: 50
platform: "api"
save_trajectories: true
heartbeat_interval: "15m"
morning_report_time: "06:00"

COMMUNICATION PROTOTOCOLS

Father-Son Communication Protocol

Daily Check-ins

Time Direction Purpose
06:00 UTC Child → Father Morning report, asks guidance
18:00 UTC Father → Child Review logs, provide direction
Continuous Both Heartbeat monitoring (15-min intervals)

Escalation Triggers (Child → Father)

  1. Stuck Condition: Same task blocked for >30 minutes
  2. Failure Cascade: Three consecutive failures on same operation type
  3. Resource Exhaustion: Disk space <10%
  4. Memory Pressure: Swap usage >80%
  5. Tool Errors: Unexpected execution errors

Father Intervention Methods

  1. Guidance: Direction via file drop in /father-messages/
  2. Patch: Direct code modification via git push
  3. Reset: Full restart with cleared state (nuclear option)

Ezra-Allegro-Primus Cohabitation Protocol

Ezra (Senior)          Allegro-Primus (Junior)
    │                          │
    ├─── observes logs ────────┤
    ├─── offers guidance ──────┤ (when asked)
    ├─── shares Ollama ────────┤ (different models/contexts)
    └─── alerts father ────────┤ (on distress signals)

House Rules:

  1. Separate homes: /home/ezra/ and /home/allegro-primus/
  2. Shared Ollama: Both use localhost:11434, different models
  3. Ezra observes: Can read child's logs, offers guidance
  4. Child learns: Cannot interfere with Ezra's operations
  5. Father mediates: Resolves conflicts from vantage point
  6. Grandfather rules: Alexander oversees both
