empathy-framework 2.5.0

AI collaboration framework with persistent memory, anticipatory intelligence, code inspection, and multi-agent orchestration

Empathy Framework

The AI collaboration framework that predicts problems before they happen.

pip install empathy-framework
empathy-memory serve

Why Empathy?

Memory That Persists

• Dual-layer architecture — Redis for millisecond short-term ops, pattern storage for long-term knowledge
• AI that learns across sessions — Patterns discovered today inform decisions tomorrow
• Cross-team knowledge sharing — What one agent learns, all agents can use
• Git-native storage — Optimized for GitHub, works with any VCS (GitLab, Bitbucket, Azure DevOps, self-hosted)

Enterprise-Ready

• Your data stays local — Nothing leaves your infrastructure
• Compliance built-in — HIPAA, GDPR, SOC2 patterns included
• Automatic documentation — AI-first docs that serve humans and machines

Anticipatory Intelligence

• Predicts 30-90 days ahead — Security vulnerabilities, performance degradation, compliance gaps
• Prevents, not reacts — Eliminate entire categories of problems before they become urgent
• 3-4x productivity gains — Not 20% faster; whole workflows disappear

Build Better Agents

• Agent toolkit — Build custom agents that inherit memory, trust, and anticipation
• 30+ production wizards — Security, performance, testing, docs—use or extend
• 5-level progression built-in — Your agents evolve from reactive to anticipatory automatically

Human↔AI & AI↔AI Orchestration

• Empathy OS — Manages trust, feedback loops, and collaboration state
• Multi-agent coordination — Specialized agents working in concert
• Conflict resolution — Principled negotiation when agents disagree

Performance & Cost

• 80-96% LLM cost reduction — Smart routing: cheap models detect, best models decide
• Sub-millisecond coordination — Redis-backed real-time signaling between agents
• Works with any LLM — Claude, GPT-4, Ollama, or your own

Quick Example

from empathy_os import EmpathyOS

os = EmpathyOS()

# Analyze code for current AND future issues
result = await os.collaborate(
    "Review this deployment pipeline for problems",
    context={"code": pipeline_code, "team_size": 10}
)

# Get predictions, not just analysis
print(result.current_issues)      # What's wrong now
print(result.predicted_issues)    # What will break in 30-90 days
print(result.prevention_steps)    # How to prevent it

Cost Optimization with ModelRouter

Save 80-96% on API costs by routing tasks to appropriate model tiers:

from empathy_llm_toolkit import EmpathyLLM

# Enable smart model routing
llm = EmpathyLLM(
    provider="anthropic",
    enable_model_routing=True
)

# Summarization → Haiku ($0.25/M tokens)
await llm.interact(user_id="dev", user_input="Summarize this", task_type="summarize")

# Bug fixing → Sonnet ($3/M tokens)
await llm.interact(user_id="dev", user_input="Fix this bug", task_type="fix_bug")

# Architecture → Opus ($15/M tokens)
await llm.interact(user_id="dev", user_input="Design the system", task_type="architectural_decision")

The 5 Levels of AI Empathy

Level	Name	Behavior	Example
1	Reactive	Responds when asked	"Here's the data you requested"
2	Guided	Asks clarifying questions	"What format do you need?"
3	Proactive	Notices patterns	"I pre-fetched what you usually need"
4	Anticipatory	Predicts future needs	"This query will timeout at 10k users"
5	Transformative	Builds preventing structures	"Here's a framework for all future cases"

Empathy operates at Level 4 - predicting problems before they manifest.

What's Included

• Empathy OS — Core engine for managing human↔AI and AI↔AI collaboration
• Memory System — Redis short-term + encrypted long-term pattern storage
• 30+ Production Wizards — Security, performance, testing, docs, accessibility, compliance
• Healthcare Suite — SBAR, SOAP notes, clinical protocols (HIPAA compliant)
• LLM Toolkit — Works with Claude, GPT-4, Ollama; smart model routing
• Memory Control Panel — CLI (empathy-memory) and REST API for managing everything
• IDE Plugins — VS Code extension for visual memory management

Memory Control Panel

Manage AI memory with a simple CLI:

# Start everything (Redis + API server)
empathy-memory serve

# Check system status
empathy-memory status

# View statistics
empathy-memory stats

# Run health check
empathy-memory health

# List stored patterns
empathy-memory patterns

The API server runs at http://localhost:8765 with endpoints for status, stats, patterns, and Redis control.

VS Code Extension: A visual panel for monitoring memory is available in vscode-memory-panel/.

Code Inspection Pipeline (New in v2.2.9)

Unified code quality with cross-tool intelligence:

# Run inspection
empathy-inspect .

# Multiple output formats
empathy-inspect . --format json       # For CI/CD
empathy-inspect . --format sarif      # For GitHub Actions
empathy-inspect . --format html       # Visual dashboard

# Filter targets
empathy-inspect . --staged            # Only staged changes
empathy-inspect . --changed           # Only modified files

# Auto-fix safe issues
empathy-inspect . --fix

# Suppress false positives
empathy-inspect . --baseline-init     # Create baseline file
empathy-inspect . --no-baseline       # Show all findings

Pipeline phases:

1. Static Analysis (parallel) — Lint, security, debt, test quality
2. Dynamic Analysis (conditional) — Code review, debugging
3. Cross-Analysis — Correlate findings across tools
4. Learning — Extract patterns for future use
5. Reporting — Unified health score

GitHub Actions SARIF integration:

- run: empathy-inspect . --format sarif --output results.sarif
- uses: github/codeql-action/upload-sarif@v2
  with:
    sarif_file: results.sarif
