What This Skill Does
Reads memory files from your local workspace, finds recurring patterns across conversations, and writes a SOUL.md identity document where every claim traces back to a source file. Synthesis is incremental — only new or changed memory gets processed. Runs entirely on your machine via a local Ollama instance.
Unlike hand-written identity documents, every axiom includes full provenance linking it to the actual conversations that produced it.
When to use it
- Tracking how your stated values shift across months of conversation logs
- Auditing which specific memories gave rise to a particular identity axiom
- Rolling back SOUL.md to a previous version after an unwanted synthesis
- Scheduling hourly soul synthesis so the document stays current without manual effort
- Previewing what patterns would emerge before committing any changes with --dry-run
Example Workflow
Here's how your AI assistant might use this skill in practice.
User asks: Synthesize my soul from memory files
- 1Runs the synthesis engine against the memory/ directory
- 2Finds recurring signals and groups them into principles
- 3Detects tensions and matches principles to axioms
- 4Writes updated SOUL.md with provenance metadata
- 5Backs up previous version to .neon-soul/backups/
Summary report: e.g. '3 new signals found, 1 new axiom emerged around honesty. Soul document updated.'
