Sovereign AI agent with 4-store local memory, Aeon DNA identity, and SHA-256 Civic Ledger — LLM-agnostic, zero Docker, runs on your hardware

Project description

ZANA

vecanova-zana

Your AI doesn't remember your notes. Not a bug. Their business model.

ZANA is a sovereign cognitive agent that lives on your machine, remembers everything, and belongs to you — forever.

The problem

Every AI session starts from zero. You re-explain your context, your preferences, your goals — every single time. Your "personal AI" remembers nothing between sessions. That's not a limitation. That's the design. They want your data on their servers.

ZANA inverts this with one architectural principle: the memory stays with you.


Quick start

pipx install vecanova-zana
zana init
zana chat

That's it. No Docker. No cloud account. No API key required to start.


What makes ZANA different

4-Store Memory Architecture

ZANA maintains four types of memory simultaneously — all stored locally in ~/.zana/:

Store What it holds
Semantic Concepts, knowledge, domain expertise
Episodic Conversations, events, your history
Procedural How you solve problems, your workflows
World Model Your mental map of projects, people, relationships

Aeon — Your Sovereign Agent

Every ZANA installation generates an Aeon: a computational identity with 35 genes derived from your usage patterns and a nanosecond-seeded entropy signature. No two Aeons are identical — not even if you reinstall.

Your Aeon evolves through 9 stages (Huevo → Fresh → Rookie → Champion → Ultimate → Legend → Archon → Mythic → Sovereign) as it absorbs your knowledge.

Civic Ledger — Verifiable Sovereignty

Every reasoning decision ZANA makes is signed with SHA-256 and written to ~/.zana/civic_ledger.jsonl. Open it. Read it. Verify it. Your agent can't lie to you about what it decided.

cat ~/.zana/civic_ledger.jsonl | python3 -m json.tool | head -40

LLM-Agnostic by Design

Works with Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Switch models with one env var — your memory doesn't move.

export ZANA_PRIMARY_MODEL=claude-opus-4-7  # or gpt-4o, gemini-pro, llama3, ...

Zero-Docker, Local-First

Runs on your machine as a standard isolated Python package. SQLite for episodic memory. No containers, no cloud sync, no telemetry.


The Coliseo — Where Knowledge Becomes Combat

ZANA includes a battle engine that maps your Obsidian vault into a 6-world arena:

World Domain
🔥 Ignis Creativity, passion, vision
🔢 Calculus Logic, mathematics, systems
⚒ Forge Engineering, architecture, craft
🌊 Oceanus Strategy, flow, adaptation
🌿 Sylvan Growth, learning, philosophy
∅ Void Abstraction, chaos, emergence

Every note you write in Obsidian shapes the terrain where your Aeon competes. Your knowledge base becomes a living arena.


Z-Skill Protocol

Skills are SKILL.md files that extend ZANA's capabilities. Drop one in ~/.zana/skills/ and ZANA activates it automatically.

zana skill list      # see active skills
zana skill install   # install from registry

Architecture

~/.zana/
├── aeon_dna.json       # Your agent's genetic identity
├── episodic.db         # SQLite episodic memory
├── semantic/           # Vector knowledge store
├── procedural/         # Learned workflows
├── world_model.json    # Your mental map
├── civic_ledger.jsonl  # SHA-256 audit trail
└── skills/             # Active Z-Skills

The core is Python. The security layer (Armor) is Rust — compiled via PyO3, zero overhead.
