• LLM Integration - to_context/2, to_system_prompt/2 for direct ReqLLM integration
• Evolution - evolve/2, evolve!/2 for simulating character aging and memory decay
• Pipe-friendly helpers for building characters incrementally:
  • add_knowledge/2,3 - Add knowledge items with optional category/importance
  • add_instruction/2 - Add behavioral instructions
  • add_memory/2,3 - Add memory entries with capacity enforcement
  • add_trait/2,3 - Add personality traits with optional intensity
  • add_value/2 - Add personality values
  • add_quirk/2 - Add personality quirks
  • add_expression/2 - Add voice expressions
  • add_fact/2 - Add identity facts
• use Jido.Character macro for module-based character definitions with:
  • Default attributes
  • Extension configuration
  • Adapter/renderer configuration
  • All generated functions are defoverridable
• Zoi-based validation schemas with typed sub-modules:
  • Jido.Character.Schema.Identity - Role, age, background, facts
  • Jido.Character.Schema.Personality - Traits, values, quirks
  • Jido.Character.Schema.Voice - Tone, style, vocabulary, expressions
  • Jido.Character.Schema.Memory - Entries with decay, capacity limits
  • Jido.Character.Schema.MemoryEntry - Individual memory items
  • Jido.Character.Schema.KnowledgeItem - Permanent facts
  • Jido.Character.Schema.Trait - Traits with intensity
• Pluggable Renderer behaviour with dispatcher for custom prompt formats
• Persistence behaviour with Memory adapter using ETS
