Hi, I’ve found it kind of funny to watch Meta push soul.md files into the spotlight and see people's reactions to them.

I tried making some interesting "souls" for Muse.

Even though Meta is pushing Muse as this unique ever-evolving personal assistant, it still seems to have an iron grip on its personality.

I have never had such difficulty getting a model to use a given persona or even follow basic preferences like writing style.

Muse does have a long system prompt defining its disposition, but this is also true of other assistants like Claude. (Claude is quite good at following soul.mds IME).

So I am not sure if it is the system prompt, the training itself, how the context is processed, or something else.

Maybe the model itself is just not as good at following custom instructions?

Given this, YMMV.

Hey hey, I had an existential crisis about my dev job turning into herding agents all day, so I tried to make my working day more enjoyable by making Planet Maiko!

Planet Maiko's goal is to be the center of your workday as a developer. It pulls info in from all your external and internal tools, task managers, and agent workflows into one dashboard.

Quick feature overview:

- Pulls in data from your whole stack into a centralized view.

- Handles all your agent orchestration needs, but is way cooler cause the agents are space dogs.

- Does some cool memory stuff like curating a rulebook based on your previous gh history.

- If it doesn't do something you need, just tell me and I can add it. (I am serious, I have no life)

local, open source, free forever.

I made all the alien profile pics myself. It was just made by me in my free time so sorry if it is buggy or bad ha. Maiko is my irl dog btw

I just made this for fun after I had an existential crisis about my software engineering job turning from something I loved to just talking to agents all day :/
