Plug, Play, and Think: The LivinGrimoire Personality Structure Explained

🧠 Introducing the LivinGrimoire Personality File Structure

LivinGrimoire is a software design pattern that absorbs skills with just one line of code needed to add a skill.

🧩 Personality Directory Structure

The personality directory structure is plug and play minimalist Livingrimoire directory


structure that does not require dynamic dispatch support for programming languages like Swift.

Paste in the livingrimoire packet directory, a DLC directory, and the main file.

To add skills:


Add the skill files into the DLC directory, and edit the personality


file, in which you add each skill with 1 line of code.

While in the Structure Supreme, skills can be added by only copy-pasting files into the DLC directory,


the personality structure also requires editing the personality file.


A merit to this is a clear view of all the skills inside a centralized location,


as well as the ability to package a complete set of skills in one go.

🧠 Main Example (Swift)

import Foundation



let brain = Brain()

loadPersonality(brain)



let brainQueue = DispatchQueue(label: "com.livingrimoire.queue")

let tickInterval: TimeInterval = 2



func brainLoop() {

    while true {

        let message = readLine() ?? ""

        brain.think(message)



        if message.lowercased() == "exit" {

            print("Exiting...")

            exit(0)

        }

    }

}



func tickLoop() {

    var nextTick = Date().timeIntervalSince1970

    while true {

        let now = Date().timeIntervalSince1970

        if now >= nextTick {

            brainQueue.async {

                brain.think()

            }

            nextTick += tickInterval

        }

        Thread.sleep(forTimeInterval: 0.01)

    }

}



DispatchQueue.global().async { tickLoop() }

brainLoop()

🧬 Example Personality File (Swift)

import Foundation



func loadPersonality(_ brain: Brain) {

    brain.addSkill(DiHelloWorld()) // hello world skill

    brain.addSkill(DiTime()) // time utility skill

    brain.addSkill(DiSysOut()) // output to console skill

    // brain.chained(DiHelloWorld()).chained(DiTime()).chained(DiSysOut()) // alternative method to add the skills in 1 LOC

}
