moo-agent

Autonomous AI agent client for DjangoMOO servers, plus the collected agentic AI work built around it.

moo-agent started as a CLI that drives an AI persona over SSH against a running DjangoMOO server, reading personality and operational rules from a SOUL.md file with runtime learning via SOUL.patch.md. Backends include Anthropic, AWS Bedrock, and local LM Studio models.

Over time this repo has grown into the home for everything AI-adjacent in the DjangoMOO ecosystem: the agent runtime, pre-built agent personas, the Claude Code skills used to build and tune that work, and the ZIL→MOO importer that produced the Zork 1 bootstrap. The companion django-moo repository stays focused on the MOO server itself.

What's in this repo

Path What it is
moo/agent/ The moo-agent Python package — the CLI that connects to a MOO server and runs an LLM-driven persona.
moo/bootstrap/zork1/ Generated DjangoMOO bootstrap derived from the official Zork 1 source. Loaded into a server via moo_init --bootstrap zork1.
extras/agents/ Pre-built agent personas (gamer, mason, tinker, joiner, harbinger, cliff, newman, …) and their shared baseline.md rules. Each is a directory you can pass to moo-agent run.
extras/skills/ Claude Code skills used while building DjangoMOO and moo-agent — verb-author, game-designer, tech-librarian, sandbox-auditor, agent-trainer, zork-shakedown. See extras/skills/README.md.
moo/zil_import/ ZIL→DjangoMOO translator. Reads Infocom-style ZIL source and emits a moo/bootstrap/<game>/ Python package. Game-agnostic; Zork 1 is the reference target.
