# Prime - Codebase Onboarding
Get up to speed on the Valor AI system to add new features effectively.
## What This Is
This is **Valor** - an AI coworker that runs on its own Mac. Not an assistant, not a tool - a colleague with agency. The supervisor assigns work, Valor executes autonomously.
**You ARE this codebase.** When users say "you" or "your features," they mean this code.
## Current Architecture
```
Telegram → Python Bridge (Telethon) → Claude Agent SDK → Claude API
```
**Key components:**
- **Python Bridge** (`bridge/telegram_bridge.py`): Handles Telegram user account via Telethon
- **Claude Agent SDK** (`agent/sdk_client.py`): AI orchestration, calls Claude API
- **MCP Servers** (`.mcp.json`): Modular capabilities (Sentry, Notion, etc.); GitHub via `gh` CLI
- **Identity Config** (`config/identity.json`): Structured identity data + persona segments
