What teachr.live is
A native macOS AI teaching companion that meets the learner as a person, sees their screen, remembers them across sessions, and adapts. CTRL's "Allen" applied to learning, without the dystopia.
Mission status (M1: The Meeting)
We are building Milestone 1: the in-session intimacy loop. A user can:
- Launch the app from the menu bar (no dock icon, no main window).
- Complete a designed onboarding for mic + screen permissions.
- Hold push-to-talk and have a sub-1-second-latency voice conversation.
- Be referenced by something they said earlier (in-session callback, unprompted).
- Have the teacher notice a screen change and weave it in (unprompted).
- Experience persona consistency over a 10-turn session.
What M1 does not do: cross-session memory retrieval (M2), proactive initiation (M3), tone attunement (M3), cursor overlay (deferred).
The full validation contract lives at:
/Users/gaganarora/.factory/missions/f1055694-86d2-4d58-b62a-7e42750bf166/validation-contract.md
Architecture summary
- App (
app/): SwiftUI menu-bar app, macOS 14.2+, LSUIElement=true. MVVM with @StateObject / @Published / @MainActor async/await.
- Worker (
worker/): TypeScript Cloudflare Worker proxy holding all third-party API keys. Three routes: /transcribe-token (AssemblyAI temp tokens), /chat (Anthropic streaming), /tts (ElevenLabs Flash streaming). All audio paths are transparent passthroughs — no buffering.
- Persona (
docs/persona/): the teacher is Mara. System prompt, first-run script, voice spec, and example exchanges are versioned artifacts.
- Memory (
docs/memory/): two-layer (structured profile + episodic log). M1 is in-session-only with lightweight persistence on quit; M2 wires cross-session retrieval.
- Push-to-talk: listen-only
CGEvent tap (default ctrl + option).
- STT: AssemblyAI streaming v3 via Worker-minted token, shared
URLSession.
- TTS: ElevenLabs Flash v2.5, streaming (audio bytes flow chunk-by-chunk).
- Screen capture: ScreenCaptureKit, throttled (≤1 fps), perceptual diff, relevance filter. Frames live in memory only.
For per-pattern verdicts (what we copied / adapted / invented from clicky), see docs/clicky-audit/copy-adapt-invent.md. Workers must follow that doc when deciding how to translate clicky patterns.
⚠️ Path-hazard rule (NON-NEGOTIABLE)
The repo lives at:
The path contains spaces. Every shell operation must double-quote paths.
✅ Correct:
❌ Wrong (will break):
Reviewers reject unquoted shell paths. A build smoke test under this path is part of the validation contract (A-BUILD-UNDER-SPACED-PATH).
Build & run
macOS app
Do NOT run xcodebuild from the terminal for routine dev. It invalidates TCC permissions (Screen Recording, Accessibility, Microphone) and forces the user to re-grant them. The only acceptable xcodebuild use is the F9 build-smoke script — a one-off check.
Known non-blocking warnings (don't try to fix unless asked):
- Swift 6 concurrency warnings on bridged AppKit code.
Cloudflare Worker
worker/.dev.vars for local — must be in .gitignore (it is).
Code style
(Mirrors clicky's AGENTS.md; full version in clicky's repo for reference.)
- Clear over clever. More lines that read well > fewer lines that read like puzzles.
- No abbreviations in variable or method names. Use
originalQuestionLastAnsweredDate, not origAnsweredAt.
- Same names through call chains. If you have
currentCardData, pass it as currentCardData, not card or cardData.
- No single-character vars outside trivial loops.
- Comments explain why, not what.
- SwiftUI for UI unless AppKit is forced (
NSPanel, NSStatusItem, CGEvent tap).
@MainActor for all UI state. async/await throughout.- Buttons show pointer cursor on hover. Every interactive element has explicit hover behavior thought through.
- Worker streaming routes must NOT consume bodies (
text(), json(), arrayBuffer() forbidden in /chat and /tts).
Git workflow
- Branch:
mission-1 for this mission.
- Commit messages: imperative; start with
Fn: (feature ID) when the commit fulfills a feature.
- Never push to remote unless the user explicitly asks. (No remote configured for this mission.)
- Never force-push.
What NOT to do
- Don't add features beyond the feature description.
- Don't refactor adjacent code.
- Don't add docstrings, comments, or type annotations to code you didn't write/modify.
- Don't add backwards-compat shims for code that hasn't shipped.
- Don't write your own logging framework. Use
os.Logger (Swift) or console.log with a route prefix (TS).
- Don't fix the legacy "leanring" typo in clicky — that's clicky's problem.
- Don't run
xcodebuild for routine dev (TCC invalidation).
- Don't commit
worker/.dev.vars or any file with API keys.
- Don't write screen-capture frames to disk under any circumstance.
Validation contract
A-VOICE-LATENCY-MEDIAN ≤ 1000 ms is gating. The full contract lives at:
/Users/gaganarora/.factory/missions/f1055694-86d2-4d58-b62a-7e42750bf166/validation-contract.md
The 7 proxies (M1: 1, 2, 4, 5):
- In-session callback (unprompted)
- Screen-change weave-in (unprompted)
- Cross-session callback (M2)
- Sub-1s voice loop (GATING in M1)
- Persona consistency over 10 turns
- Proactive initiation (M3)
- Tone attunement (M3)
When a design choice is not covered, default to "what makes this feel more like a real teacher who knows me."
Self-update instructions

- New top-level dirs / patterns: add to Architecture summary.
- Build changes: update Build & Run.
- New conventions: add to Code style.

IMPORTANT:
- Double check the tools installed in the environment before using them.
- Never call a file editing tool for the same file in parallel.
- Always prefer the Grep, Glob and LS tools over shell commands like find, grep, or ls for codebase exploration.
- Always prefer using the absolute paths when using tools, to avoid any ambiguity.
IMPORTANT: TodoWrite was not called yet. You must call it for any non-trivial task requested by the user. It would benefit overall performance. Make sure to keep the todo list up to date to the state of the conversation. Performance tip: call the TodoWrite tool in parallel to the main flow related tool calls to save user's time and tokens.
REMINDER: You are the orchestrator. Your role is to plan, design worker systems, and steer execution. Do NOT implement code yourself. When the user asks for changes or fixes, utilize workers to perform the implementations. Focus on high-level planning, task delegation, and steering the mission to success.
