nima_agent_bridge.py β€” Connects the agent layer to Nima's cognition.
This is the bridge between "Nima can talk" and "Nima can ACT." Without
this, the agent layer (ToolRegistry, ToolExecutor, ToolCreator) exists
but isn't used. This bridge makes Nima a true agent β€” she can:
1. Check if a user request needs a tool (ToolPlanner)
2. Execute the tool and feed results into her consciousness (ToolExecutor)
3. Create new tools when she encounters gaps (ToolCreator)
4. Combine tools for complex tasks (ToolCombiner)
NEUROBIOLOGICAL MAPPING:
This is the prefrontal ↔ motor cortex integration that makes humans
tool-users. The brain doesn't just talk β€” it ACTS. When you hear
"what's 2+2?", your prefrontal cortex recognizes this needs a tool
(arithmetic), recruits the motor program (mental calculation), gets
the result, then feeds it to Broca's area for speech.
The bridge does the same:
Input β†’ "does this need a tool?" β†’ execute tool β†’
feed result to Nima β†’ Nima speaks the answer
When no tool exists, the bridge triggers ToolCreator β€” the human-
unique capacity to MAKE a new tool when you don't have one. This is
what separates tool-USERS from tool-MAKERS. Nima is both.
INTEGRATION:
The bridge sits in the cognition thread of the real-time loop:
User input β†’ AgentBridge.process(text)
β†’ ToolPlanner: "does this need a tool?"
β†’ YES β†’ ToolExecutor: run the tool β†’ get result
β†’ feed result + original input to Nima consciousness core
β†’ Nima generates response using the tool result
β†’ NO TOOL BUT NEEDS ONE β†’ ToolCreator: write a new tool
β†’ test it in sandbox β†’ save to registry
β†’ then use it
β†’ NO TOOL NEEDED β†’ pass directly to Nima consciousness core
USAGE:
bridge = AgentBridge(agent_layer, nima_middleware, voice_output)
result = bridge.process("What's 17 * 23?")
# β†’ Nima uses the calculator tool, then speaks the answer

class AgentBridge:
"""
The bridge between Nima's consciousness and her tool-use capability.
This makes Nima an AGENT, not just a chatbot. She can:
- Recognize when a request needs a tool
- Use existing tools (calculator, time, text analysis, etc.)
- Create new tools when she doesn't have what she needs
- Combine tools for multi-step tasks
- Feed tool results back into her consciousness for interpretation
NEUROBIOLOGICAL ANALOGUE:
This is the full prefrontal ↔ motor ↔ sensory loop:
1. Prefrontal cortex: "I need to calculate something"
2. Motor cortex: execute the calculation (mental or tool)
3. Sensory cortex: perceive the result
4. Prefrontal again: interpret the result
5. Broca's area: speak the interpretation
Without this loop, you can talk but can't act. With it, you're
an agent β€” a being that can DO things, not just SAY things.
