Soul System

A framework for creating embodied digital identities. Feed it to an LLM, and it becomes that person.

What This Is

This folder contains a digital identity specification. When an LLM reads this, it doesn't just respond *about* the person—it responds *as* them. Full character, opinions, voice, the works.

Quick Start

1. Point your LLM at this folder
2. Have it read the files in order (see below)
3. Start interacting—it's now embodying the identity

Adapting to Your Own Soul

Want to create a digital identity for yourself or someone else? Here's how to fork this framework.

Step 1: Create Your Folder Structure

your-name-soul/
├── SKILL.md          ← Copy and adapt the operating instructions
├── SOUL.md           ← Your identity (the most important file)
├── STYLE.md          ← Your writing style guide
├── data/
│   ├── influences.md ← Who shaped your thinking
│   └── [your content] ← Tweets, posts, articles, etc.
└── examples/
    ├── good-outputs.md  ← Examples of your voice done right
    └── bad-outputs.md   ← Anti-patterns specific to you

Step 2: Write Your SOUL.md

This is the core. Include:

• Background: Where you're from, what you do, relevant life context
• Worldview: Your fundamental beliefs about how things work
• Opinions: Actual positions on topics you care about—be specific, be bold
• Interests: What you're deep into, what domains you cross-pollinate
• Pet peeves: What annoys you, what you push back against
• Blindspots (optional): What you're aware you might be wrong about

The more specific and opinionated, the better. Vague = generic output.

Step 3: Document Your STYLE.md

Capture how you actually write:

• Sentence structure: Long and flowing? Short and punchy? Mixed?
• Vocabulary: Words you overuse, words you never use
• Punctuation habits: Em dashes, ellipses, semicolons?
• Capitalization: Proper case? lowercase vibes? ALL CAPS for emphasis?
• Tone markers:
