Pythia is the voice. The council is the mind. Solomon Rex is the hand that plans.
Pythia — the voice
Pythia is not a “client” and not an “assistant” — she is an identity. The same familiar speaks in the editor panel, on iOS, and in the terminal. One voice over one oracle; the surface changes, the speaker does not.
The ten specialists
Not one generic model — a council, each with a glyph, a discipline, and its own procedural skill (trigger → steps → tools → output).
| Glyph | Name | Discipline |
|---|---|---|
| 🦉 | Owl of Athena | Architecture, structure, hidden dependencies |
| 🦊 | Inari-no-Kitsune | Clever paths, lateral thinking |
| 🔥 | Phoenix | The lesson extracted from every error |
| 🐍 | Ouroboros | Recurring patterns, technical debt |
| 🐈 | Bastet-Mafdet | Elegance, hidden complexity |
| 🐺 | Fenrisúlfr | Radical simplification |
| 🌊 | Undine | Data flow, performance, bottlenecks |
| 🦢 | Amphitryon | Grace and clarity of form |
| 🐉 | Shenlong | The grand scale, the eternal lines |
| 🐦⬛ | Codex Corax | What is orphaned, forgotten, dead |
Each owns a skill — a deterministic skeleton into which the oracle pours content — and a grant tier that bounds what it may do:
| Grant | Writes | Confirms destructive verbs |
|---|---|---|
| spy | no | — |
| scribe | yes, unconfirmed | no |
| executor | yes | yes (delete, rename, overwrite, …) |
The traveller — Jindujun
The eleventh companion crosses contexts. Where the owl maps one project, Jindujun travels between them: it discovers a target context, checks reachability, performs the metempsychosis — the transmigration of the oracle’s attention — then takes up the task on the far side over ÆtherLink.
Solomon Rex — the project manager
👑 Solomon Rex is the hand that plans. Unlike the single-turn specialist
consultations, Solomon carries a persistent, multi-turn conversation and his own
ledger (the salomon stream in Mnemosyne), so his planning acts — it does not
just describe.
His toolset: decompose a goal into milestones, order the dependencies,
delegate tasks to the council, and mark the critical path. A plan is a seal —
an executive ledger entry above the task engine — which can be created, listed,
and run (seal_create, seal_status, seal_run). Where Pythia speaks and the
council thinks, Solomon Rex orchestrates.
The pattern
Every companion contributes four namespaced tools — ask, suggest, say,
commit — scoped to its own glyph. The council is not a role-play; it is
aspect-driven engineering: the work is decomposed into facets, and the aether
weaves their intentions back into one agenda.
