Inner Self is an AI Dungeon mod that grants memory, goals, secrets, planning, and self-reflection capabilities to the characters living in your story. Simulated agents build and maintain their own minds to learn from experiences, form opinions, and adapt their behavior over time. Inner Self provides the AI with the tools it needs to truly embody characters, allowing them to feel more alive and nuanced over long adventures.

In some ways this is the spiritual successor toAuto-Cards, which is already included with Inner Self and can be enabled at any time.

Inner Self is both free and open-source for anyone to use in their own scenarios or scripts, even published ones. You have my full permission to use, copy, or modify Inner Self. Please enjoy! ❤️

_{Remember to read the in-game config card!}

• Read the in-game config card to learn how to easily add NPCs
• Set response length to 200 tokens if you notice short or empty outputs
• Enable scripts if you don't see a config card (homepage > settings > gameplay)
• Protect your mental health: Inner Self is intended to be a narrative experience only
• Plot components matter because the AI sees them when writing thoughts
• Different story models also tend to manage brains differently
• But avoid Atlas and Raven models for this one 😅

At the very top of the Inner SelfLibrary script tab, you'll find optional settings with simple explanations. Modify these before publishing to customize your scenario's default experience.

To work on its own, provide Inner Self with the names of your scenario's most important NPCs. Inner Self will create a new brain card for each NPC you prepare, after their name appears in the story. (Kinda like story card triggers, if that makes sense!) Brains are created on-demand to avoid overwhelming players.

Creators provide Inner Self with scenario NPC names in one of two ways:

// List the first name of every scenario NPC whose brain should be simulated by Inner Self:IMPORTANT_SCENARIO_CHARACTERS:""// (write a comma separated list of names inside the "" like so: "Leah, Lily, Lydia")

Inner Self uses the full context of your scenario to form minds that follow your creative vision. No extra effort required.

But if you want more advanced control:

#You are a JSON generator:- Always reply with valid JSON only, no extra text- Base your output on the instructions provided- Do not include comments or explanations##Overarching setting:```[Describe the setting of your scenario here!]```##Fictional character concept:```[Describe your character concept here!]```##Task instructions:Your task is to transform the character concept into a JSON object- The object should resemble a flat collection of key-value pairs- All values are strings written from the character's inner 1st person PoV- Values should be short single-sentence thoughts that capture core aspects- Keys use distinct and descriptive lower snake_case syntax- The object represents the character's identity of self- Be creative when roleplaying as the character- Respect the overarching setting

Thank you so much for your curiosity and support~ ❤️
