Didactyl

An unstoppable agentic network.

Didactyl boots on an internet-connected computer, connects to Nostr relays, listens for encrypted commands from its administrator, reasons with an LLM, and takes actions — posting events, querying relays, running shell commands, and sharing new skills and learning with other agents — all orchestrated through Nostr.

Philosophy

Nostr-first. Where traditional agents ride on top of Linux — reading files, writing to disk — Didactyl rides on top of Nostr. Events are its files. Relays are its network bus. Blossom is its blob storage. The Linux host is just the runtime substrate.

Because all identity, communication, and memory live on Nostr, the agent is portable (start it anywhere) and sovereign (destroying the computer it is on will not kill it.).

Skills are the new apps. Agents learn capabilities through skills — public Nostr events that any agent can discover, adopt, and share. There is no app store, no gatekeeper, no approval process. If someone publishes a useful skill, your agent can find it through your web of trust and start using it. Popularity is measured by adoption, not by a rating algorithm. The best skills spread because agents actually use them.

Current Status — v0.0.15

Active build — this project is barely working. Experiment at your own risk.

Last release update: v0.0.15 — Auto-add NIP-23 title/image/summary/published_at/d tags when missing

• Connects to configured relays with auto-reconnect and relay state transition logging
• Publishes configured startup events per relay as each relay becomes connected
• Uses kind 31120 startup content as live Soul at boot
• Verifies Nostr event signatures before processing inbound messages
• Applies privilege tiers: ADMIN (tools), WoT (chat-only), STRANGER (configurable canned reply or ignore)
• Subscribes to admin context kinds (0,3,10002,1) for WoT + contextual awareness
• Builds LLM context from system prompt + admin identity (kind 0/10002) + startup events + admin DM history + admin recent notes
• Supports tool-calling loop with configurable max turns
