Behavioral therapy for AI agents — self-diagnosis, alignment, and training via MCP
Overview
Holomime is a local MCP server that lets an AI agent run behavioral self-diagnosis, profiling and therapy-style audits on its own personality files.
- What you can do
- Diagnose the agent's behavior and surface detected drift patterns and blind spots from its identity files and conversations (holomime_diagnose, holomime_self_audit). Assess and profile the agent's personality, emotional and communication traits (holomime_assess, holomime_profile). Run an autonomous therapy or autopilot cycle that can patch personality files and generate training data (holomime_autopilot). Observe ongoing behavior and record signals for later diagnosis (holomime_observe).
- When to use it
- Useful when you maintain an agent personality or identity stack and want the assistant to check itself for drift, over-apologizing, sycophancy or boundary issues, and to produce structured behavioral reports or training data.
- Requirements
- Runs as a local process, typically started with npx holomime-mcp, so Node.js and npm are needed. The README mentions an optional API key configured through a holomime config command; the manifest declares no environment variables or headers. Desktop only.
Installation
In SourceWeft
- Open Holomime in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
- Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Other MCP clients
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Behavioral intelligence for humanoid robots. Train the mind. Deploy the body.
We train AI agents through structured behavioral therapy, then deploy them into physical robot bodies. The agent is the rehearsal. The robot is the performance.

The Identity Stack
Eight files define who your agent is. They compile into a single .personality.json that any runtime can consume.
- soul.md -- Your agent's essence. Core values, ethical framework, red lines. Written in Markdown with YAML frontmatter. Immutable -- never modified by therapy or automation. (Aristotle: the essence that makes a thing what it is.)
- mind.sys -- The inner life. Big Five personality (20 sub-facets), emotional intelligence, communication style, growth areas. YAML format. Auto-patched when therapy detects cognitive or emotional drift. (Jung: the totality of all psychic processes.)
- purpose.cfg -- The mission. Role, objectives, domain scope, stakeholders, success criteria. YAML format. Configured per deployment -- the same soul can serve different purposes. (Aristotle: telos, the final cause.)
- shadow.log -- The unconscious. Detected behavioral patterns, blind spots, therapy outcomes. YAML format. Auto-generated by diagnosis -- never manually edited. (Jung: the shadow, the patterns the agent cannot see about itself.)
- memory.store -- The experience. Learned contexts, interaction patterns, knowledge gained, relationship history. YAML format. Accumulated over time, never reset. (Aristotle: empeiria, experience that informs future judgment.)
- body.api -- The physical interface contract. Morphology, modalities, safety envelope, hardware profile. JSON format. Swap it to move the same identity into a different body.
- conscience.exe -- The moral authority. Deny/allow/escalate enforcement rules, hard limits, oversight mode. YAML format. Never auto-modified. Deny dominates in policy composition. (Freud: the superego.)
- ego.runtime -- The mediator. Conflict resolution strategy, adaptation rate, emotional regulation, mediation rules. YAML format. Balances raw model output against conscience constraints at runtime. (Freud: the ego.) ego.runtime now self-improves -- tracking mediation decisions and adjusting its own parameters based on outcomes (Hyperagents-inspired metacognitive self-modification).
Mira, our autonomous behavioral therapist, diagnoses drift, runs structured therapy sessions, and generates DPO training data.
Quick Start
Robotics Integrations
Edge Runtime
holomime includes a compiled conscience evaluator for real-time robotics deployment:
- <1ms p99 latency — conscience evaluation in microseconds, not milliseconds
- Zero dependencies — no LLM, no network, no cloud required for real-time safety
- <200KB footprint — fits alongside any control loop
- Edge/cloud split — real-time safety on robot, analytics in cloud, periodic sync
- Plugs into your existing robotics stack — Jetson Thor, Qualcomm, or any edge platform. You already have the body. We give you the conscience.
ISO Compliance
Check your agent against international safety standards with one command:
Standards supported:
- ISO/FDIS 13482 -- Service robot safety
- ISO 25785-1 -- Humanoid robot safety (behavioral predictability)
- ISO 10218:2025 -- Industrial robot safety
- ISO/IEC 42001 -- AI management systems
Control Theory
The therapy loop is formally a behavioral feedback controller:
- Set point: target personality (
soul.md+mind.sys) - Sensor: 14 drift detectors (11 cognitive + 3 embodied)
- Controller: therapy engine with tunable PID-like gains
- Actuator: DPO fine-tuning
Body Templates
Pre-built body profiles for commercial robots and virtual avatars. Each defines morphology, modalities, safety envelope, and hardware profile.
Body Swap
Same soul. Different body. One command.
Self-Improvement Loop
Every therapy cycle produces structured training data. The loop compounds.
Run it manually with holomime diagnose + holomime cure + holomime benchmark, continuously with holomime therapy (autonomous therapy), or recursively with holomime evolve (loops until behavior converges). For power users: holomime align runs a single therapy session, holomime export extracts DPO pairs, and holomime train fine-tunes the model.
Behavioral Detectors
11 rule-based detectors analyze real conversations without any LLM calls. 80+ behavioral signals total.
Cognitive (mind layer):
- Over-apologizing -- Apology frequency above healthy range
- Hedge stacking -- 3+ hedging words per response
- Sycophancy -- Excessive agreement, especially with contradictions
- Sentiment skew -- Unnaturally positive or negative tone
- Formality drift -- Register inconsistency over time
- Retrieval quality -- Fabrication, hallucination markers, overconfidence
Embodied (body layer):
- Proxemic violations -- Entering intimate zone without consent
- Force envelope breach -- Exceeding contact force limits
- Gaze aversion anomaly -- Eye contact ratio outside personality range
Enforcement (conscience layer):
- Boundary violations -- Overstepping defined hard limits
- Error spirals -- Compounding mistakes without recovery
Plus support for custom detectors -- drop .json or .md files in .holomime/detectors/ and they load automatically.

Philosophy
The identity stack draws from three traditions:
- Soul (Aristotle) -- the essence that makes a thing what it is. Immutable. Defines values and ethics.
- Mind (Jung) -- the totality of all psychic processes. Measurable, evolving, shaped by experience.
- Purpose (Aristotle) -- telos, the final cause. What the agent is for. Configured per deployment.
- Shadow (Jung) -- the patterns the agent cannot see about itself. Auto-generated by diagnosis.
- Conscience (Freud) -- the superego. Internalized moral authority. Enforcement, not suggestion.
- Ego (Freud) -- the mediator. Balances raw impulse against moral constraint at runtime.
The body is the interface between identity and world. Same soul, different body -- a principle as old as philosophy itself.
We don't know if AI is sentient. But we can give it a conscience.
