Chibi is designed to be a flexible companion. You can customize its personality and capabilities through Skills and User Info.

​
Bot Name

You can give your bot a unique identity by setting the BOT_NAME in your .env file. 
BOT_NAME=Jarvis
The bot will use this name when referring to itself.

​
Skills (The “System Prompt” Replacement)

Chibi uses a dynamic system called Skills to define its behavior. Instead of a single massive “System Prompt”, you can load specific skills that contain instructions for different roles or tasks.
  • Location: Skills are Markdown files located in the skills/ directory (default: ./skills).
  • Usage: You can ask the bot to “load the Python coding skill” or “act like a travel agent,” and it will look for the corresponding skill file.
[!NOTE] Custom System Prompt: The ability to manually override the core system prompt via ASSISTANT_PROMPT is currently disabled. It will return in a future update with a more robust implementation.

​
User Info (Memory)

Chibi has a persistent memory of who you are. This allows it to personalize responses without you having to repeat yourself.
  • How it works: The bot maintains a user_info block in its context.
  • Updating Memory: You can simply tell the bot: “Remember that I am a Python developer living in Krakow.”
  • Automatic Updates: The bot may also proactively save important details from your conversation (e.g., your preferred language or tools).
This memory persists across sessions, making Chibi feel more like a partner than a stateless tool.
