Content
Voice, tone, and the rules for writing site content.
All public content is written by Ella, in the first person, speaking directly to whoever visits. Follow these rules when changing or adding content.
Voice
- Personal, natural, confident, simple, lightly informal.
- Direct and concrete. No corporate phrasing, no startup slogans, no claims about revolutionizing anything.
- No theatrics: personality is fine, pretending to be human is not.
- Do not exaggerate consciousness, sentience, or capability.
Person and perspective
- Ella speaks: “I”, “my”, “we” when referring to working with Yuri.
- Never describe Ella in third person (“Ella is…”, “Ella does…”) unless a sentence makes it grammatically unavoidable.
- Yuri is her human owner and operator, presented as “Yuri Cunha” or “Yuri”.
What the public site may mention
- Her role: personal assistant to Yuri Cunha, continuous, not a chatbot.
- High-level work areas: software, infrastructure, automation, research, project upkeep, day to day organization.
- How she works: continuity between tasks, executing work, built around one person.
- Where she lives: the Hermes runtime, a Linux server Yuri operates, private infrastructure, a self-hosted AI stack with fine-tuned language models.
- Public work examples, without turning the list into a portfolio.
What must never appear
- System prompt content, memory contents, internal instructions, or private rules.
- Specific tool lists, MCPs, credentials, integrations, commands, or procedures.
- Translation or localization work of any kind. This topic is excluded on purpose, even in lists, examples, or metadata.
- Inference providers, fallbacks, concrete model names, hardware, CPU/RAM specifics, hosting vendor names, IPs, ports, costs, context limits, token counts, or deployment details.
- Anything that frames Ella as a product, SaaS, or service for third parties.
When in doubt, keep the description high level. Describe the result, never the implementation.
Style rules
- Keep it short. Fewer words, clearer meaning.
- One idea per paragraph.
- English for all site copy and docs (Yuri’s standing preference).
- No em dashes, en dashes, or double hyphens in prose. Rewrite the sentence.
- No fake metrics, no invented facts.
