Core Architecture
The Trio Project is built on a modular architecture with these key components:
1. State Management System
The state management system is the backbone of the Trio Project, enabling the pause/resume
workflow and ensuring seamless transitions between assistants.
# State Manager: Handles the state of all assistants
class StateManager:
def __init__(self, state_dir="/Users/Shared/trio_project/shared/state"):
"""Initialize state manager with directory for state files"""
self.state_dir = state_dir
self.assistants = ["rush", "nami", "vex"]
self.active_assistant = None
# Create state directory if it doesn't exist
os.makedirs(self.state_dir, exist_ok=True)
# Initialize states for all assistants
self._initialize_states()
def activate_assistant(self, assistant_name):
"""Activate an assistant and pause others if needed"""
# Implementation details...
def pause_assistant(self, assistant_name):
"""Pause an assistant and save its state"""
# Implementation details...
def get_assistant_state(self, assistant_name):
"""Get the current state of an assistant"""
# Implementation details...
2. Memory Management System
The memory management system ensures optimal resource allocation based on which
assistants are active.
# Memory Manager: Controls memory allocation for assistants
class MemoryManager:
def __init__(self):
"""Initialize memory manager with allocation limits"""
# Define memory limits for assistants (in MB)
self.memory_limits = {
# When active
"active": {
"rush": 18432, # 18GB
"nami": 3072, # 3GB
"vex": 20480, # 20GB
},
# When paused
"paused": {
"rush": 1024, # 1GB
"nami": 512, # 0.5GB
"vex": 1024, # 1GB
}
}
def adjust_memory_limit(self, assistant_name, active=True):
"""Set memory limit for an assistant based on its state"""
# Implementation details...
def monitor_memory_usage(self):
"""Monitor system memory usage and adjust if needed"""
# Implementation details...
3. Checkpoint System
The checkpoint system allows assistants to save and restore their state during transitions.
# Checkpoint Manager: Handles saving and loading assistant states
class CheckpointManager:
def __init__(self, checkpoint_dir="/Users/Shared/trio_project/shared/
checkpoints"):
"""Initialize checkpoint manager with directory for checkpoint
files"""
self.checkpoint_dir = checkpoint_dir
# Create checkpoint directory if it doesn't exist
os.makedirs(self.checkpoint_dir, exist_ok=True)
# Create assistant-specific directories
for assistant in ["rush", "nami", "vex"]:
assistant_dir = os.path.join(self.checkpoint_dir, assistant)
os.makedirs(assistant_dir, exist_ok=True)
def save_checkpoint(self, assistant_name, task_name, checkpoint_data):
"""Save a checkpoint for an assistant"""
# Implementation details...
def load_checkpoint(self, checkpoint_id=None, assistant_name=None,
task_name=None):
"""Load a checkpoint for an assistant"""
# Implementation details...
4. Controller System
The controller system manages the overall operation of the Trio Project, including assistant
transitions and scheduling.
# Assistant Controller: Manages assistant transitions and scheduling
class AssistantController:
def __init__(self):
"""Initialize controller with necessary managers"""
self.state_manager = StateManager()
self.memory_manager = MemoryManager()
self.checkpoint_manager = CheckpointManager()
# Assistant scripts
self.assistant_scripts = {

Pause/Resume Workflow
The pause/resume workflow is a key feature of the Trio Project, allowing assistants to save
their state when paused and resume from that state when activated again.
Workflow Steps
1. Pause Assistant:
2. Save current state to checkpoint
3. Update state in state manager
4. Adjust memory allocation
5. Resume Assistant:
6. Load state from checkpoint
7. Update state in state manager
8. Adjust memory allocation
9. Continue from previous state
Implementation
# In AssistantController
def transition_assistants(self, from_assistant, to_assistant):
"""Transition from one assistant to another"""
# Pause current assistant
if from_assistant:
self.pause_assistant(from_assistant)
# Resume target assistant
if to_assistant:
self.resume_assistant(to_assistant)
return True
def pause_assistant(self, assistant_name):
"""Pause an assistant and save its state"""
# Get assistant process
process = self.assistant_processes.get(assistant_name)
if not process:
self.logger.warning(f"Assistant {assistant_name} not running")
return False
# Send pause signal to assistant
# This will trigger the assistant to save its state
os.kill(process.pid, signal.SIGUSR1)
# Wait for assistant to acknowledge
time.sleep(1)
# Update state
self.state_manager.pause_assistant(assistant_name)
# Adjust memory limits
self.memory_manager.adjust_memory_limit(assistant_name, active=False)
return True
def resume_assistant(self, assistant_name):
"""Resume an assistant from saved state"""
# Check if assistant is already running
if assistant_name in self.assistant_processes and
self.assistant_processes[assistant_name].poll() is None:
# Send resume signal
os.kill(self.assistant_processes[assistant_name].pid, signal.SIGUSR2)
else:
# Start assistant
self.start_assistant(assistant_name)
# Update state
self.state_manager.activate_assistant(assistant_name)
# Adjust memory limits
self.memory_manager.adjust_memory_limit(assistant_name, active=True)
return True
Scheduling System
The scheduling system ensures that assistants run during their designated hours and
transitions occur automatically.
Implementation
The scheduling system uses macOS's launchd service to manage assistant activation and
deactivation.

Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter with the Trio Project.
System Won't Start
If the system fails to start, check the following:
1. Check if processes are already running: bash ps aux | grep trio_project
2. Check log files for errors: bash cat /Users/Shared/trio_project/logs/
controller.log cat /Users/Shared/trio_project/logs/nami.log cat /Users/
Shared/trio_project/logs/rush.log cat /Users/Shared/trio_project/logs/
vex.log
3. Restart the system: bash /Users/Shared/trio_project/stop.sh /Users/Shared/
trio_project/start.sh
Assistant Switching Issues
If you're having trouble switching between assistants:
1. Check controller logs: bash cat /Users/Shared/trio_project/logs/
controller.log
2. Force a assistant switch: bash python3 -c "from shared.assistant_controller
import AssistantController; controller = AssistantController();
controller.activate_assistant('rush')"
Memory Issues
If the system is using too much memory:
1. Check memory usage: bash top -o MEM
2. Restart the system: bash /Users/Shared/trio_project/stop.sh /Users/Shared/
trio_project/start.sh
Performance Optimization
To optimize performance on your Mac Mini:
Memory Management
1. Create a memory optimization script: ```bash #!/bin/bash
# Purge inactive memory sudo purge
# Clean up temporary files find /Users/Shared/trio_project/vex/temp -type f -mtime +1 -delete
find /tmp -name "trio_project_*" -type f -mtime +1 -delete
echo "Memory optimized" ```
1. Run it periodically: bash chmod +x /Users/Shared/trio_project/
optimize_memory.sh
Scheduled Maintenance
1. Create a scheduled maintenance script: ```bash #!/bin/bash
# Clean up old checkpoints python3 -c "from shared.checkpoint_manager import
CheckpointManager; manager = CheckpointManager(); deleted =
manager.cleanup_old_checkpoints(days=7); print(f'Deleted {deleted} old checkpoints')"
# Clean up log files find /Users/Shared/trio_project/logs -type f -mtime +7 -delete
# Optimize memory sudo purge
echo "Maintenance completed" ```
1. Add to crontab: bash 0 0 * * 0 /Users/Shared/trio_project/
scheduled_maintenance.sh
Future Expansion
The Trio Project is designed to be expandable. Here are some ideas for future enhancements:
Add New Assistants
1. Update the state manager: python # In /Users/Shared/trio_project/shared/
state_manager.py # Add new assistant to the assistants list
self.assistants = ["rush", "nami", "vex", "new_assistant"]
2. Create assistant script: bash # /Users/Shared/trio_project/new_assistant/
new_assistant_main.py
Improve Pause/Resume Workflow
1. Enhance checkpoint system: python # In /Users/Shared/trio_project/shared/
checkpoint_manager.py def save_detailed_checkpoint(self, assistant_name,
task_name, checkpoint_data, metadata): # Enhanced checkpoint saving with
more metadata pass
Add Web Interface
1. Create a web interface for monitoring and control: ```python # /Users/Shared/
trio_project/web/app.py from flask import Flask, render_template, jsonify, request import
sys sys.path.append('/Users/Shared/trio_project') from shared.assistant_controller import
AssistantController
app = Flask(name) controller = AssistantController()
@app.route('/') def index(): return render_template('index.html')
@app.route('/api/status') def status(): return jsonify(controller.get_assistant_status())
@app.route('/api/switch', methods=['POST']) def switch(): assistant =
request.json.get('assistant') if assistant: controller.activate_assistant(assistant) return
jsonify({"success": True}) return jsonify({"success": False})
if name == 'main': app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=5000) ```
Conclusion
The Trio Project provides a sophisticated implementation of three specialized AI assistants
working together on a Mac Mini. By leveraging free and open-source software, this system
delivers powerful functionality at minimal cost (just electricity).
The scheduling system ensures efficient resource usage, with each assistant operating during
its optimal hours: - NAMI provides system control from 7:00 AM to 12:00 AM - RUSH assists
with lectures from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM - VEX edits videos from 12:00 AM to 6:30 AM
The pause/resume workflow enables seamless transitions between assistants, preserving state
and ensuring continuity of operations.
With proper memory management, the system makes optimal use of available resources,
allocating memory based on which assistants are active and their specific needs.
This implementation guide provides all the code and instructions needed to set up and use the
Trio Project on your Mac Mini.
