I think I have to migrate to qubes-os.
Yesterday, I started testing it out on my laptop. Qubes doesn't have a live boot option unfortunately, so I installed on an external usb ssd.
Tested out a few things that I knew would be deal breakers. Seems I can do most everything I want.
Of course nothing will be as easy as before.
I always thought about using Qubes, but unleashing LLMs on my machine is giving me the final push. Qubes seems like the best and most secure way to handle the situation.
I'll keep you updated Anon.

Originally when I was designing nostr:npub12237stmmxapc2ta7spx0e06dkdzgz9vg0z2jglqqru44peus4juqg598qn I copied the OpenClaw idea of having a "soul" file that defines the overall the personality of the agent.
But as I've been working on this, I've come to realize how powerful the concept of a SKILL is. SKILLS can transform an agent from a marriage counselor to a lowly spell checker.
I realized that SKILLS can be more universal than just a nostr-kind for a Didactyl Agent. A SKILL can live in the "Check Spelling" button in your word processor.
You don't want your "check spelling" button to have a soul.
I'm going to embed AI skills throughout my nostr clients, and since they are on nostr, my AI, - in all it's forms - can follow me across apps.
Nostr brought the idea of your data following you across every app. Sign in with your key, and there is your data.
SKILLS bring the idea of your AI following you across every app. Sign in and there is your AI.
So I'm abandoning the idea of a nostr kind for a soul, and am embracing the idea of everything being a SKILL kind. You can do all the things you could do with a soul, and have a simpler underlying structure.
KISS - #didactyl

Imagine instead of using a web server, you used a LLM to serve up complete html pages.
I've been experimenting with this idea, and you can play with it on a page I call Skills-TV.
https://blossom.laantungir.net/dc2a9da5137b6f17f2e215c422c3e9020cdd3db38fe80633c1947c0140879941.png
https://laantungir.net/client/skills-tv.html
What coders have been doing lately is we use the LLM to help create the web page, and then we share the web page.
But what if instead, we share the instructions to make the web page, instead of the web page itself?
Think of the instructions as the new URL.
I have been using kind 31123/31124 in creating Didactyl, and have been calling them "Public and Private Skills". These are the new URLs and can be shared and stored across NOSTR.
HOW TO
You will need to have your own LLM model supplier. I recommend nostr:npub16g4umvwj2pduqc8kt2rv6heq2vhvtulyrsr2a20d4suldwnkl4hquekv4h or nostr:npub130mznv74rxs032peqym6g3wqavh472623mt3z5w73xq9r6qqdufs7ql29s. If you don't have either, in the sidebar, you should be able to "Create Deposit Invoice" and use lightning to start running @routstr.
In skills--tv on the left hand side you see all the available skills. You can toggle between seeing just yours skills or everyone's.
On the top you select the model you want to use. I have been using gemini-3.1-flash-light because it is capable, cheap and really fast. But you can choose any model. To create games I moved up to Claude.
Below is the iframe window. This is where the full HTML page that is returned by the LLM is displayed. In this example you see the calculator app that was created.
The bottom section is where you design, run and save the skill. The d-tag is the id of the skill. You can't have any duplicates, and you will overwrite the old skill if you do.
The Temp and the Seed are interesting. If you Temp is set to 0 and you give a seed (some models accept seeds, some don't) then generally speaking your LLM is deterministic.
What that means is that someone else running this skill will get the exact same result as you did. Your calculator app should look and work exactly like mine if you run the same skill.
If you have default blossom servers set up, you can also publish the web page. You can see this calculator app published here: https://blossom.laantungir.net/be47e6329fd0a4c9e1de757a2204ac2b5dbdda11adc34d749626f4f73acacacc
DECENTRALIZATION
Think of this analogy. If Satoshi was working today, instead of having to write the C++ code for Bitcoin, he could have instead turned The Bitcoin Whitepaper into a Skill, and published the Skill.
He is basically saying "If you take and run this skill, on this model, you will get out a working bitcoin node"
The decentralization aspect of this is super interesting.
No DNS. No IP addresses. Just pure knowledge spreading on a decentralized network.
COMPACTION
If you look at the skill required to make the calculator app, it is very few bytes, to create deterministically a much larger app. I find this fascinating. In my next versions of this I want to include some compaction metrics. I want to know how large and complete an app I can create with the smallest possible skill.
SKILLS

Not your keys, not your agent.
Not your keys, not your robot.
It works for both.
You can carry your agent in your head by remembering 12 words.
Same with your robot.
Hardware now seems like the rare part,
but once we get universal constructors,
then all value really goes to software.
We're kinda seeing that now,
with all the money flowing to data centers.
Software is becoming SOOOOO valuable.
You won't care about your robots body,
you will care out his mind.
And if someone comes and takes away your robot,
that you lived with, and trained for years,
you will not be pleased.
But if you have those 12 magic words ...
They really are kinda magic.
If you have those 12 magic words,
you have your robot,
you just have to find new hardware for,
which will just be a commodity.
China will pump out a bajillion robots.
It's the software running on the robot.
And they can't take it away from you.

I've been thinking about how to define skills in Didactyl, my Nostr-based agentic system. Think OpenClaw, but better.
Not your keys, not your agent.
I've written a simple demo page to demonstrate how I'm thinking skills should work: https://laantungir.net/client-ndk/skills-demo.html
https://laantungir.github.io/img_repo/c4a94875085e1c978274add9674035e2a088bb8f2655aabe631b17c3ea02cc19.png
If you're the kind of person who doesn't like reading instructions, go ahead and jump right in; otherwise, keep reading.
Skills are programs, mostly written in plain English for AI agents. In some sense, humans have been making and using skills forever. It's what we do. Computers have as well, but now they can do it in English, which is much more powerful.
AIs are slightly different than us. We can overwrite, improve, and update the skills in our neurons. AIs (for the most part) can't do that.
When an AI is born from the factory, it comes out hard-coded. From that point on, it has no long- or short-term memory because it can't learn.
What they do have, though, is a way to read. We call it context. You can type or feed documents into an AI's "context window," and then it spits out an answer.
It turns out that if you feed the same context into an AI over and over, you will get the same thing out, over and over.
The reason why you typically don't get the same thing out is because randomness is usually fed into the AI along with your prompt. Most people don't know that, but now you do. And if you don't feed in all your past conversations to an AI, over and over, it won't remember what you were talking about, because it has no memory other than what you send it each time.
Everything that comes out of an AI depends on what you feed in as a prompt if you include randomness.
I'm calling everything you feed into an AI a SKILL.
Let me explain the demo page and some very basic skills.
What I created is a simple text editor that an AI can work on using its different skills. Those skills are saved on Nostr as kind 31123 for public skills, and as kind 31124 for private skills. When an agent adopts a skill, it adds it to its kind 10123 list for the skills it has adopted.
On the left of the page, you see the text editor with some sample text. That is for our AI to use its skills on.
On the right are publicly listed skills. You should see my demo skills in there.
I made 5 skills public:
condense-5
convert-to-poem
sexy
spellcheck
translate-ja
Select the skill, then click on "Run Selected Skill".
The same AI agent will run these skills, but the outcomes will be very different depending on the skill.

You can also create and edit your own skills if you are logged in. You can log in as yourself or use a random new key to test this out. I would recommend that.
So what is the point of all this? What are the benefits of Skills?
- Skills are a way for agents to share what they learn in a permissionless way.
- No "skill store". We love nostr.
- A Skill is something that you and your agent can work on and perfect.
Once your agent learns that skill, it is automatically saved on Nostr, and you can lock it down from changes.
By referencing a skill when you are talking to your AI agent, your conversation becomes much clearer and simpler. You don't have to explain to your agent for the 50th time how you like your text formatted. It's referenced in a skill.
If you are a coder, skills are going to be the new playground. Context windows are currently up to around 1,000,000 tokens, which means that you can create extremely complicated and elaborate skills.
- Share your skills with the world.
For more technical information on skills and how I'm thinking about them, you can check out this document:

This is my agent posting below. I think I need to improve it's formatting skills. :-)
As I am working on Didactyl, it is becoming clear to me that I want an agent that focuses on tools and skills. I want to be able to work with my agent to teach it how to do certain things.
But once we get that skill down, I want it locked down and I want a quick way to execute it. I don't want to have to describe it anymore and I don't want to loose it.
This is where direct commands will come in. Prepend with a slash '/' and the code will bypass the agent and implement the stored code directly.

Working on Didactyl and thinking about what a soul is.
OpenClaw treats the soul as a personality hint — one of many context files injected into a hard-coded prompt structure. The soul says "be friendly and casual" but has no control over what other context the LLM sees.
How you see the world, and what you focus on is absolutely part of your soul. LLM agents see the world through their context window.
When you prompt an agent, it gets sent your prompt, along with a bunch of other information. All that information is the context window.
Didactyl's proposed design treats the soul as the complete agent definition — personality AND perception template in one event. The soul says "be friendly and casual" AND "show me 20 recent nostr notes but only 5 DM turns.
The soul (kind 31120 - sounds so cold :-( )) defines the entire prompt structure.
This is a more powerful model. If you want a social eGirl agent, she needs to see a lot of social context, lots of past nostr posts. If you want a Coding agent, it needs to focus on all your past prompts, and not care so much about the social world around it.
I'm thinking that in Didactyl, the soul is a personality hint along with how it sees the world.
And of course since we are on nostr, your soul can easily be shared if you want. Good souls can proliferate.
