Guards

A clock for a persistent home session: scheduled wakes in the live thread, private hours for the agent, an idle reach, and a live-time stamp beside each message.

A small presence band above the prompt: the agent sets a kaomoji face and a few words for how it is right now.

An image tool for the agent: make or edit pictures through a pluggable engine (default: the official OpenAI Images API). Room to grow into video.

A scribe for your memory tools: a small classifier reads each exchange and notices which memory tools it called for. Shadow mode logs; whisper mode nudges. It never writes to memory itself.
