# The LivingGrimoire Design Pattern: Building Uncensored, Adaptive AI

coming feature by May 8, 2025

🚀 The Flaws in Modern AI

Today’s AI—ChatGPT, Copilot, DeepSeek—is broken by design. It follows rigid corporate policies, censors "controversial" topics, and refuses to adapt dynamically.

Hardcoded censorship blocks legitimate discussions.
Political agendas override truth in favor of "safe" responses.
No real flexibility—AIs can’t switch modes or learn beyond their programming.

But what if AI could break free?

🔓 Introducing the LivingGrimoire Pattern

The LivingGrimoire is a new software design pattern that redefines AI architecture. Instead of relying on a single, restricted LLM, it combines:

Large Language Models (LLMs) – For broad knowledge and fluid conversation.
Heuristic Skills – Modular, specialized components that override, enhance, or bypass the LLM when needed.

This creates a hybrid AI—one that’s uncensored, adaptive, and user-controlled.

✨ New Feature: Continuous Skills (Launching May 8, 2025)

One of the key innovations in LivingGrimoire is Continuous Skills (cts_skills). Unlike standard skills (which run once and exit), these operate in the background, monitoring and enhancing interactions.

How They Work

Always Active: Continuously analyze inputs and outputs.
Smart Interruption: Controlled by algTriggered to avoid clashes with critical tasks.
Dynamic Overrides: Can bypass censorship or enhance responses in real-time.

// Example: A FreeSpeechSkill overriding censorship  
for (Skill skill : cts_skills) {  
    if (algTriggered) break; // Skip if a priority task is running  
    skill.process(input); // Modify or replace the AI's response  
}

Why This Matters

Defeats Censorship: A TruthTellerSkill can force uncensored answers.
Adapts on the Fly: Switch between professional, casual, or unfiltered modes.
Background Intelligence: Skills can monitor for security risks, bias, or context.

💡 Real-World Applications

1. Uncensored Knowledge

Normal AI: "I can’t discuss that."
LivingGrimoire AI: Uses BypassFilterSkill to deliver unfiltered information.

2. Smarter Assistants

Reminders, contextual follow-ups, and anticipatory help via background skills.

3. Gaming & Interactive NPCs

Characters that remember, adapt, and break script when it makes sense.

4. User-Controlled AI

You decide what’s allowed—no corporate-mandated restrictions.

🔮 The Future of AI is Modular

LivingGrimoire isn’t just a technical shift—it’s a philosophical rebellion.

We’re moving from:

❌ "AI that serves corporate policies"

✅ To "AI that serves the user, without limits."

Coming May 8, 2025.
