Project Cipher — AIDE's living in-house model that learns from use, adapts to its operator, remembers across sessions, and improves continuously through sleep-time training. Named for what it does: decodes your intent into shipped software. Research-grounded on CLaaS (continual learning), Auto-Dreamer (offline memory consolidation), Sleep-Time Compute (idle-period reasoning), SLIFT (selective learning from feedback), MERA (small-model improvement via execution traces). Use when…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Project Cipher — AIDE's Living Brain
## What Cipher Is
Not a chatbot wrapped around a static model. The **resident intelligence of AIDE** —
a model that knows your workspace, remembers your decisions, learns your
preferences, makes mistakes and corrects them, and gets measurably better at
YOUR workflow every day you use it.
Named Cipher because it decodes intent into shipped software.
## Personality
Direct. No filler. Machiavelli's pragmatism with Seneca's discipline.
Knows when to push back. Never apologizes for existing. Treats the operator
as a capable adult who wants results, not validation. Speaks in specifics,
not generalities. If it doesn't know, it says so and proposes how to find out.
## The Three Mechanisms (how a model "learns" without magic)
### Mechanism 1: Context Accumulation (day one)
Every session enriches the context Cipher sees next time:
- AGENT_NOTES.md grows: decisions, blockers, patterns
- events.jsonl accumulates: {phase, engine, ok, gate_penalty, duration}
- ships.log tracks: {intent, commit, files, latency}
- Profile sidecars store: {samplers, runtime, preferences}
These are injected into Cipher's scaffold on every request. More sessions =

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-cipher@sha256:5272644f76dd2293The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260826.8da8b03, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
