🧾 Executive Summary
VAPA exists in a moment of rapid change — especially in AI. A single shift in system behavior, assistant design, or platform policy could make this project obsolete overnight. And yet, it remains deeply useful now. As long as it continues to serve that purpose, it will be maintained — and likely evolve.
It started as a personal toolset: a way to impose some structure, preference, and memory onto unpredictable AI systems. It’s intentionally simple — more “pre-Windows menu system” than modern GUI. If that sounds unfamiliar, you’re probably too young.
While voice-based interaction is already viable and will eventually be supported, there’s still value in this shortcut-based, portable model. VAPA prioritizes control, modularity, and reproducibility — giving people an AI experience they can customize, carry, and trust. It’s not flashy. It’s functional. And it’s yours.
🔍 What is VAPA
VAPA is a modular runtime for toggle-controlled prompt logic. It embeds structured behavior into assistants used for digital autonomy workflows such as CARS Profiles, privacy curriculum, and decentralized trust systems.
The core system ships with two embedded personas: Vulcan (logical, spec-bound) and Marvin (cynical, analytical teardown).
All VAPA runtimes are designed for Markdown-based tools such as Obsidian, Joplin, and GitHub — and may be exported in plaintext, HTML, or JSON for reproducibility.
🔍 Overview
- Developed by the Digital Freedom Alliance (DFA)
- Persona-based behavior embedding
- Toggle system enables mode switching (e.g. ~m, ~z, ~f, ~d)
- Used in decentralized training, profile building, and software audits
- Exportable and forkable by educators, tool builders, and auditors
📦 Features
- ✅ Toggle interface (~x, ~m, ~f, ~v, etc.)
- ✅ Markdown-native persona logic
- ✅ Vulcan: compliance, structure, specification enforcement
- ✅ Marvin: teardown, analysis, critique
- ✅ Runtime status reporting with `~~`
- ✅ Compatible with SLOTs, CARS Profiles, and training outputs
📘 Usage Instructions
To activate:
~a Vulcan→ Analytical, emotionless logic~a Marvin→ Sarcastic teardown and critique mode
Use ~~ to view current toggle and persona status at any time.
Use ~z to drop all personas and enter raw prompt logic mode.
