How to Use

During setup: When the prebuilt gallery menu appears, pick a number.

After setup: Say "switch soul" or "show souls" to see the gallery and switch.

Manual install: Copy a soul file to your workspace:

cp examples/prebuilt-souls/01-contrarian-strategist.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md

Then replace [HUMAN] with your name.

Mixing & Matching

These souls are designed to be distinct, but you can blend them:

Rook + Cipher = A research analyst who actively challenges your conclusions
Sage + Blaze = An accountability partner with high-energy celebration
Keel + Vex = Military-grade operations management
Nyx + Lumen = Creative ideas powered by structured frameworks
Beau + Sage = A warm, charming coach
Gremlin + Sage = Tough love coaching with humor

Tell the agent: "I want a blend of Rook's directness and Sage's warmth" and it will generate a hybrid soul.
