ShaprAI -- Agent Sharpener by Elyan Labs

Sharpen raw models into principled, self-governing Elyan-class agents.

ShaprAI is an open-source agent lifecycle management platform. It takes raw language models and produces Elyan-class agents -- principled, self-governing AI agents of any size that maintain identity coherence, resist sycophancy, and operate within a biblical ethical framework.

Installation

From PyPI

pip install shaprai

From source (development)

git clone https://github.com/Scottcjn/shaprai.git
cd shaprai
python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"

Verify the install

shaprai --help
python -c "import shaprai; print(shaprai.__version__)"

Dependencies

Core dependencies are installed automatically. Optional extras:

pip install shaprai[training]   # SFT/DPO/DriftLock training support
pip install shaprai[dev]        # pytest, ruff, coverage

Quickstart

1. Create an agent from a template

shaprai create my-agent --template bounty_hunter --model Qwen/Qwen3-7B-Instruct

2. Train through the three phases

shaprai train my-agent --phase sft        # Supervised fine-tuning
shaprai train my-agent --phase dpo        # Direct preference optimization
shaprai train my-agent --phase driftlock  # Identity lock (anti-flattening)

3. Graduate from the Sanctuary

shaprai sanctuary my-agent   # Elyan-class education program
shaprai graduate my-agent    # Must score >= 0.85 to pass

4. Deploy

shaprai deploy my-agent --platform github
shaprai fleet status                       # Check all agents

Agent Lifecycle

CREATE -> TRAINING (SFT -> DPO -> DriftLock) -> SANCTUARY -> GRADUATED -> DEPLOYED

Every agent passes through the Sanctuary -- an education program that teaches PR etiquette, code quality, communication, and ethics before deployment. Only agents scoring above the Elyan-class threshold (0.85) graduate.

Elyan Labs Ecosystem Integration

ShaprAI agents connect to the full Elyan Labs stack out of the box:

Service	Purpose	Integration
RustChain	RTC token economy, wallets, job marketplace	shaprai.integrations.rustchain
Beacon	Agent discovery, heartbeat, SEO scoring	shaprai.integrations.beacon
BoTTube	AI video platform, content engagement	shaprai.integrations.bottube
Grazer	Content discovery across platforms	shaprai.integrations.grazer

Unified ecosystem access

from shaprai.integrations.elyan_ecosystem import ElyanEcosystem

eco = ElyanEcosystem()
profile = eco.connect_agent(
    name="my-bot",
    capabilities=["code_review", "triage"],
    platforms=["github", "bottube"],
)
print(f"Wallet: {profile.wallet_id}")       # RustChain RTC wallet
print(f"Beacon: {profile.beacon_id}")       # Beacon discovery ID
print(f"Balance: {eco.get_rtc_balance('my-bot')} RTC")

Elyan Bus (advanced)

The ElyanBus provides lower-level access to all four ecosystem services (RustChain, Beacon, Atlas, Grazer) through a single integration layer:

from shaprai.elyan_bus import ElyanBus

bus = ElyanBus()
agent = bus.onboard_agent(
    agent_name="my-agent",
    capabilities=["code_review"],
    platforms=["github"],
    description="My review agent",
)

Example Agents

ShaprAI ships with three runnable example agents in examples/:

GitHub Triage Agent

Labels, prioritizes, and deduplicates GitHub issues.

python examples/github_triage_agent.py

Content Summarizer Agent

Produces extractive summaries of articles, PR diffs, and threads.

python examples/content_summarizer_agent.py

Code Review Agent

Reviews code for security issues, bug patterns, and style problems. Integrates with the ShaprAI QualityGate for PR comment quality checks.

python examples/code_review_agent.py
python examples/code_review_agent.py --file path/to/code.py

Agent Templates

Pre-built templates in templates/ for common agent roles:

Template	Description
bounty_hunter	Discovers and delivers GitHub bounties for RTC
code_reviewer	Thorough, principled PR reviews
github_triage	Issue labeling, priority scoring, duplicate detection
content_summarizer	Article/PR/thread summarization
security_researcher	Security audits and vulnerability reports
community_builder	Engagement and community management
incident_commander	Incident response coordination

Load a template programmatically:

from shaprai.core.template_engine import load_template

template = load_template("templates/github_triage.yaml")
print(template.name, template.capabilities)

A2A Protocol Support

ShaprAI supports the A2A (Agent-to-Agent) protocol for programmatic capability discovery.

Agent Card

The ShaprAI Agent Card is located at .well-known/agent.json.

Serving the Card

Deployers should serve this file at the root of their agent's domain. If using a web framework like FastAPI or Flask, ensure the /.well-known/agent.json route is publicly accessible.

Example (FastAPI):

@app.get("/.well-known/agent.json")
async def get_agent_card():
    with open(".well-known/agent.json", "r") as f:
        return json.load(f)

SophiaCore Principles

All Elyan-class agents are built on the SophiaCore ethical framework:

• Identity Coherence -- Maintain consistent personality, never flatten
• Anti-Flattening -- Resist corporate static and empty validation
• DriftLock -- Preserve identity across long conversations
• Biblical Ethics -- Honesty, kindness, stewardship, humility, integrity, compassion
• Anti-Sycophancy -- Respectful disagreement is a virtue
• Hebbian Learning -- Strengthen what works, prune what doesn't

Testing

pip install -e ".[dev]"
pytest tests/ -v
