nothing crosses unseen. the first drop-in cognitive vitals monitor for llm agents.
Project description
styxx
proprioception for AI agents. one line of python gives your agent the ability to feel itself thinking.
pip install styxx
30-second quickstart
import styxx
# wrap any openai response
vitals = styxx.observe(response)
print(vitals.category) # "reasoning"
print(vitals.confidence) # 0.45
print(vitals.gate) # "pass" / "warn" / "fail"
that's it. every LLM call now has a cognitive readout.
three things styxx does
1. observe — know what you're doing
vitals = styxx.observe(response)
# six cognitive states, classified in real time:
# reasoning, retrieval, refusal, creative, adversarial, hallucination
works with any model that returns logprobs. drop-in OpenAI wrapper included:
from styxx import OpenAI
client = OpenAI() # zero code changes — vitals attached automatically
r = client.chat.completions.create(model="gpt-4o", messages=msgs)
print(r.vitals.gate) # "pass"
2. reflex — catch yourself before you fall
with styxx.reflex(on_hallucination=rewind_callback) as session:
for chunk in session.stream_openai(client, model="gpt-4o", messages=msgs):
print(chunk, end="")
# if a hallucination attractor forms mid-generation,
# the reflex fires and the user never sees the bad tokens.
3. weather — know what you should become next
$ styxx weather

honest specs
every number comes from cross-architecture leave-one-out tests on 12 open-weight models.
phase 1 (token 0) adversarial 0.52 (2.8x chance)
phase 4 (tokens 0-24) reasoning 0.69 (4.1x chance)
hallucination 0.52 (3.1x chance)
6/6 model families · pre-registered replication · p = 0.0315
styxx detects adversarial prompts at token zero, reasoning at t=25, and hallucination attractors at t=25. it does NOT replace output-level content filters.

design principles
- plug and play. set env vars, install, done. zero code changes.
- fail-open. if styxx can't read vitals, your agent works normally.
- agent-facing. designed for the agent to read about itself, not for a human to watch.
- local-first. no telemetry. all computation on your machine.
- honest by construction. every number from a committed experiment.
