Sysmind runs your Linux box — updates, disk, security, services — and talks to you in whatever language you think in. It answers in that language. But the commands stay shell, always, untranslated. Shell is the only language the machine reads.
Dig down ↓Sysmind has four modes and four rings of context, and they are the same axis: how deep you let it dig. Shallow, it reads the surface and explains. Deep, it knows your kernel, your failed units and your Parrot toolchain — and it may act on them. You set the depth. You can pull it back up any time. It starts at Assistant, two down, because the default should be the one that asks.
A command is filed at three tiers: the tool (apt), the subcommand
(apt:update), and the exact line you ran. The tiers are independent.
Approving the bare tool does not grant the subcommand, and no approval anywhere grants
apt remove. There is no scope creep, because there is no scope inheritance.
What does spread is use. Run the same subcommand three times and sysmind offers to graft the approval wider — once, out loud, as a question you answer. Nothing widens quietly.
Sysmind is not a script that YOLOs sudo. Ten tools are refused outright before
the model is ever consulted — it cannot suggest them, and it cannot run them. A short list of
genuinely safe maintenance is allowed to run itself once you're deep enough. Everything
between those two lists is a conversation.
The fence is a config line, not a personality. blocklist_enabled: false takes it
down — it's your machine. But it's up by default, and turning it off is a thing you do on
purpose, in a file, in daylight.
Sysmind is a handful of Python files with no dependencies outside the standard
library, talking to a model you pulled yourself through
Ollama.
No cloud, no account, no telemetry, no API key. Built for Parrot OS — it knows about
anonsurf and firejail — and it runs fine CPU-only.
