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

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)
- Stuck Condition: Same task blocked for >30 minutes
- Failure Cascade: Three consecutive failures on same operation type
- Resource Exhaustion: Disk space <10%
- Memory Pressure: Swap usage >80%
- Tool Errors: Unexpected execution errors
Father Intervention Methods
- Guidance: Direction via file drop in
/father-messages/ - Patch: Direct code modification via git push
- 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:
- Separate homes:
/home/ezra/and/home/allegro-primus/ - Shared Ollama: Both use
localhost:11434, different models - Ezra observes: Can read child's logs, offers guidance
- Child learns: Cannot interfere with Ezra's operations
- Father mediates: Resolves conflicts from vantage point
- Grandfather rules: Alexander oversees both
