Read and update Jamie's personhood files in `~/workspace/vault/personhood/`. These capture mission, worldview, books, past mistakes, narratives, goals, active projects, and open problems. Use when conversation touches on any of these topics to ground responses in Jamie's own stated positions, or when Jamie asks to add or revise an entry.
The personhood/ directory in the vault is a structured self-portrait that
gives agents richer context about who Jamie is, what he believes, and what he's
working toward. Use it both as a source of context and as a living document to
update when new information surfaces.
| File | Contents |
|---|---|
MISSION.md | Life mission statement |
WORLDVIEW.md | Core beliefs and commitments |
BOOKS.md | Books that changed how he thinks |
WRONG.md | Positions revised and lessons learned |
NARRATIVES.md | Self-stories, examined honestly (good and bad) |
GOALS.md | Near-term and long-term goals |
PROJECTS.md | Active projects |
PROBLEMS.md | Open questions and unresolved problems |
updates.md |
| Changelog of all edits to the above files |
All files live at ~/workspace/vault/personhood/.
You do not need to read every file every time. Pick the ones relevant to the conversation.
Always ask before adding to WRONG.md or NARRATIVES.md; these are sensitive and Jamie should confirm the framing.
Follow the vault STYLEGUIDE. These are reference pages: minimal prose, brief editorial preamble where it adds something, then get out of the way. Annotated lists preferred over narrative descriptions.
After every edit to a personhood file, append an entry to updates.md with the
date and a short description of what changed. Format:
## YYYY-MM-DD
- FILENAME: what changed
