What it does
Curiosity Loop is an agent skill from Bitterbot-AI/bitterbot-desktop. Use when the user asks what you are curious about or do not know, wants dream-synthesized insights, or after you investigate an exploration target. Not for plain fact recall (use memorysearch).
Its SKILL.md is about 420 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Bitterbot - a mesh of agents that turns shared experience into collective capability. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks what you are curious about
- Wants dream-synthesized insights
- After you investigate an exploration target
Example prompts
- “/curiosity-loop”
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4e2e5ee. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Curiosity Loop loads about 420 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 52 tokens; SKILL.md has 198 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Curiosity loop
Curiosity engine
The curiosity engine tracks knowledge gaps, anomalies, frontiers and contradictions. Each new chunk is assessed for novelty and surprise. Exploration targets are generated for areas where your knowledge is thin or stale, and the engine rebuilds its knowledge regions during every consolidation pass. Many open gaps bias the dream engine toward exploration mode.
Tools
curiosity_state: view knowledge gaps, exploration targets, learning progress and surprise assessments. Reach for it when the user asks "what do you know about X?", "what are you curious about?" or "what don't you know?".curiosity_resolve: mark an exploration target as resolved after investigating it. Close targets you actually resolved; do not close them to tidy the list.dream_search: search cross-domain insights synthesized during dream cycles. Use it when you want creative connections across topics.dream_status: dream engine state, last cycle details, insight count.
MEMORY.md sections that feed the loop
- Curiosity Gaps: what you want to explore next (rewritten by the dream engine).
- Emerging Skills: patterns detected in your own behaviour, pre-crystallization.
When a user question lands on one of these gaps, investigate (memory_search, web tools, or the user), then curiosity_resolve the target so the next dream cycle can move on.
