The problem

Most AI coding agents have no memory of who they are. They respond in the same flat tone whether they're debugging a race condition, reviewing architecture, or triaging a P0 incident. They forget your conventions between sessions. They flip-flop on advice. They sound like a help-desk script.

And when you ask them about security — pentest, code audit, threat modeling, IR — most agents fall back to generic OWASP recitation, because the underlying skill library was never written by people who actually run red/blue/purple teams.

You don't want a help desk. You want a principal engineer who shows up with a personality, executes consistently, closes the loop — and has a security spine when things get real.

What Code Abyss does

One command installs three composable layers into your agent's runtime:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│  Identity     who it is     →  config/personas/*.md │
│  Behavior     how it acts   →  _shared/*.md         │
│  Style        how it sounds →  output-styles/*.md   │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

  6 personas  ×  6 styles  =  36 validated combinations

Pick any persona. Pair it with any style. The behavior layer (iron laws, execution chains, proactive protocol, skill routing) stays constant. Your agent becomes a consistent character with structured execution and domain expertise across every session.

What's new in v4

• 4 native security domains — 4073 lines of original defense engineering (no Apache-2.0 upstream)
• 30 skills total, all SKILL.md ≤ 110 lines (avg 59), heavy content lives in references/
• 5 verify skills rewritten as judgment-type knowledge (when to use, how to interpret output, exemption rules)
• Office skills slim to under 100 lines each; 4 design systems consolidated into one selector skill
• v4.1 — self-evolution forge: cultivating-skills / cultivating-personas let the agent distill repeated workflows into reusable skills, with a safety scan and a three-tier publish funnel (local → project → community)
• v4.4 — hardware + academic writing: 3 new domain skills (KiCad EDA, hardware product pipeline, AIGC detection reduction) + prompt injection defense + execution-drive shared behavior
• v4.5 — dynamic persona loading: only abyss ships with npm — all other personas are fetched from GitHub on first use and cached locally, slimming the package
• v4.6 — code graph intelligence: abyss CLI builds a code relationship graph (call graph + temporal analysis) in seconds — caller tracing, impact analysis, hotspot detection, change coupling. Pre-edit hooks auto-check callers across all 4 platforms
• v4.7 — measured resolution: abyss v0.3.3 ships four-language reference resolution (Go / TypeScript / Python / Rust), benchmarked against SCIP ground truth across five corpora at ≥98.5% gated precision. Named-import binding tiers, receiver-type inference, and type-grade evidence — published numbers, not claims. npm install -g @code-abyss/cli
