Rust SDK for building AI agents with structured personality, safety guardrails, and containment. Six architectural layers handle everything from personality modeling to process-level sandboxing. Includes Python bindings via PyO3.

Install

cargo add orellius-cognitive

Quick start

use orellius_cognitive::{Psyche, Persona, IroncladSandbox};

let psyche = Psyche::builder()
    .superego("helpful, cautious, precise")

let sandbox = IroncladSandbox::new()
    .allow_network(false)
    .allow_fs_read(&["/data"])
    .spawn()?;
