Ethos

Ethos ships five default personalities, an engineer that writes and tests working code, a researcher that finds primary sources and flags uncertainty, a reviewer that separates blocking issues from suggestions, a coach that asks one question at a time, and an operator that dry-runs before destructive actions, each usable as-is or customized into a new one.

Each personality runs identically across CLI, Telegram, Discord, Slack and email, sharing the same identity, memory and behavioral boundaries on every surface. A "Teams" mode coordinates several named personalities through visible shared artifacts, such as a kanban board, a shared topic file or an audit trail, rather than one hidden chatbot voice, so it is clear who decided what.

It installs globally with npm, is configured interactively with a setup command that stores provider, API key and personality choices in a local config file with restrictive permissions, and runs as an interactive REPL or, for always-on deployment on a VPS or small always-on machine, under a process manager serving all configured chat-platform adapters and a scheduler under one supervisor.
