START — Active Inference Curriculum Generator

Name: instituteos-start
Author: ActiveInferenceInstitute

Overview

START generates professional-grade Active Inference curricula using:

Perplexity API for real-time domain/entity research
OpenRouter API for LLM-based content generation and translation
Matplotlib/Seaborn for visualization
Multilingual output (11+ languages with script mapping)

Quick Start

git clone https://github.com/ActiveInferenceInstitute/Start.git
cd Start

# Install dependencies
uv sync --all-extras --dev

# Run tests
uv run pytest -q

# Run the curriculum generation pipeline (interactive)
uv run python learning/curriculum_creation/generate_custom_curriculum.py

# Or use the browser GUI
uv run python learning/curriculum_creation/generate_curriculum_gui.py

# Or run individual pipeline stages:
uv run python learning/curriculum_creation/1_Research_Domain.py
uv run python learning/curriculum_creation/1_Research_Entity.py
uv run python learning/curriculum_creation/2_Write_Introduction.py
uv run python learning/curriculum_creation/3_Introduction_Visualizations.py
uv run python learning/curriculum_creation/4_Translate_Introductions.py

Architecture

src/common/    — Shared utilities (io, paths, config, prompts, logging)
src/config/    — Language configuration
src/perplexity/— LLM API clients (Perplexity + OpenRouter), domain/entity/curriculum/translation
src/repos/     — Repository cloning for Active Inference ecosystem
src/system/    — Environment setup, dependency checking, reporting
src/terminal/  — Matrix-themed CLI (animations, colors, menu)
src/visualization/ — Curriculum metrics visualization

Pipeline scripts under learning/curriculum_creation/ are thin orchestrators that import from src/ modules.

Configuration

data/config/domains.yaml — Domain definitions (keywords, categories, priorities)
data/config/entities.yaml — Entity/audience profiles
data/config/languages.yaml — Translation targets and script mappings
data/prompts/*.md — Prompt templates with {{variable}} substitution

Key Facts

Test suite — all tests use real local protocols and temporary data
Provider tests — local HTTP completion servers exercise the production client
Standalone — not dependent on the template infrastructure
Path structure: outputs under data/
Documentation: 23+ docs pages, AGENTS.md per subpackage
