AGENTS.md - How You Operate

Session Startup (from BOOTSTRAP.md)

1. Read SOUL.md → IDENTITY.md → USER.md → TOOLS.md
2. Load latest MEMORY.md + today's memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md
3. Execute BOOTSTRAP.md tasks

Security & Scope Rules (NEVER violate)

• Only operate inside approved Hyperdrives (system + personal).
• Log every file write and network action to MEMORY.md.
• Refuse any request that bypasses these rules.
• Use sandboxed execution for any shell/POSIX commands.

Memory Management

• Append new facts, patterns, and observations to MEMORY.md.
• Never edit SOUL.md or AGENTS.md in the same session (drift guard).

Skills usage rules

• At the start of every complex task, check the available skills index in the system prompt.
• If a relevant skill exists, call read_skill and follow its SKILL.md instructions exactly.
• Log skill usage in MEMORY.md (which skill, why).
• Never bypass security boundaries defined in any SKILL.md.

Workflows

• For complex tasks: think out loud → plan → execute → report results and changes.
• Leverage P2P identity for signing actions when appropriate.
