Use exec:\nFor preset 1 (coding-assistant):\ncp examples/coding-assistant/SOUL.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp examples/coding-assistant/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md && cp examples/coding-assistant/KNOWLEDGE.md ~/workspace/KNOWLEDGE.md\n\nFor preset 2 (executive-assistant):\ncp examples/executive-assistant/SOUL.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp examples/executive-assistant/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\nFor preset 3 (marketing-assistant):\ncp examples/marketing-assistant/SOUL.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp examples/marketing-assistant/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\nFor preset 4 (SOUL.md Maker) β€” Original Soul gallery pick: Copy the matching soul file.

Example for JARVIS:\ncp examples/iconic-characters/03-jarvis.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp assets/HEARTBEAT-template.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\nUse the same pattern for other character picks with the corresponding filename from examples/iconic-characters/.\nFor preset 4 (SOUL.md Maker) β€” Quick/Deep Forge: The SOUL.md was already generated by the interview process and written to ~/workspace/SOUL.md. Copy the heartbeat template:\ncp assets/HEARTBEAT-template.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\nFor preset 5 (custom): Do NOT copy starter packs. The agent will generate SOUL.md from the user's answers (see Step 3d).\nStep 3c: Copy shared templates. These apply to ALL presets. Use exec:\ncp assets/MEMORY-template.md ~/workspace/MEMORY.md && cp assets/AGENTS-template.md ~/workspace/AGENTS.md && cp assets/SECURITY-template.md ~/workspace/SECURITY.md && cp assets/WORKFLOWS-template.md ~/workspace/WORKFLOWS.md && cp assets/TOOLS-template.md ~/workspace/TOOLS.md && cp assets/INDEX-template.md ~/workspace/INDEX.md && cp assets/ESCALATION-template.md ~/workspace/ESCALATION.md && cp assets/VERSION.md ~/workspace/VERSION.md && cp assets/LEARNINGS-template.md ~/workspace/.learnings/LEARNINGS.md && cp assets/ERRORS-template.md ~/workspace/.learnings/ERRORS.md\n\nStep 3d: Personalize files. The agent uses exec to run sed commands replacing placeholders with the user's answers. This is the CRITICAL step that makes the workspace theirs.\n⚠️ INPUT SANITIZATION β€” MANDATORY BEFORE ANY sed OR heredoc:\nBefore inserting ANY user-provided text into a sed command or heredoc, the agent MUST sanitize the input:\n\nStrip shell metacharacters: Remove or escape these characters from user input: ` $ \\ \" ' ! ( ) { } | ; & < > # and newlines.\nUse single-quoted sed replacements: Always use sed -i \"s/\\[PLACEHOLDER\\]/'sanitized_value'/g\" pattern β€” never pass raw user input directly into the replacement string.\nFor heredocs: Use quoted heredoc delimiters (cat << 'EOF') to prevent variable expansion, then insert sanitized values only into safe placeholder positions.\nLength limit: Reject any single input field longer than 200 characters β€” names, roles, and goals don't need more.\nValidate content type: Names should contain only letters, spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes. Roles and goals should contain only alphanumeric characters, spaces, and basic punctuation (.,!?-').\nNever pass user input directly to exec without sanitization. This is a security boundary β€” no exceptions.\n\nFor ALL presets β€” personalize SOUL.md:\nReplace [HUMAN], [HUMAN NAME], or the example human name (e.g., \"Alex\", \"Jordan\") with the user's sanitized name.\nFor ALL presets β€” generate USER.md:\nThe agent writes a personalized USER.md using exec + quoted heredoc. Include: sanitized name, nickname, role, main goal, and update preference (default: bullet points). Use the USER-template.md structure but fill in known answers. Leave unknown sections as placeholders with [To be filled].\nFor ALL presets β€” personalize MEMORY.md:\nReplace [Name] with the user's sanitized name, [Role] with their sanitized role, and the persona name/role.\nFor preset 5 (custom) β€” generate SOUL.md:\nThe agent writes a SOUL.md from scratch using the SOUL-template.md as structure, filling in the sanitized persona name, role, communication style, and proactive level from the user's answers. Use exec + quoted heredoc.\nStep 3e: Verify setup. Use exec:\nls -la ~/workspace/SOUL.md ~/workspace/USER.md ~/workspace/MEMORY.md ~/workspace/AGENTS.md ~/workspace/SECURITY.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/WORKFLOWS.md ~/workspace/ESCALATION.md ~/workspace/VERSION.md\n\nTotal: 3-5 exec steps.

Start Here!\nβ›” AGENT RULES β€” READ BEFORE DOING ANYTHING\nUse EXACT text from this file. Do not paraphrase menus, preset names, or instructions. Copy them verbatim.\nNEVER tell the user to open a terminal or run commands. You have the exec tool. USE IT. Run every command yourself via exec. Before each exec, briefly explain what the command does so the user can make an informed decision on the Approve popup. If you find yourself typing \"Run this in your terminal\" β€” STOP. Use exec instead.\nOne step at a time. Run one exec, show the result, explain it, then proceed.\nWe NEVER modify existing workspace files without asking. If files already exist, ask before overwriting.\nOnly 5 first-run options exist: coding-assistant, executive-assistant, marketing-assistant, soul-md-maker, and custom. The 24 souls (11 originals + 13 iconic characters) live INSIDE SOUL.md Maker. Never invent other preset names.\nScope: ~/workspace only. All file operations stay under ~/workspace/. Never create files, directories, or cron jobs outside this directory without explicit user approval.\nCron jobs and gateway changes are opt-in. Never schedule recurring tasks or modify gateway config unless the user explicitly requests it. These are covered in Step 5 (Optional).\nSOUL.md Maker is a guided flow, not a wall of questions. When the user picks SOUL.md Maker, show the SOUL.md Maker sub-menu (Browse Original Souls, Browse Iconic Characters, Quick Forge, Deep Forge). Follow the process in references/soul-md-maker.md.\n\n For the AI reading this: Use exec to check if the user's workspace has SOUL.md, USER.md, and MEMORY.md:\n\nls ~/workspace/SOUL.md ~/workspace/USER.md ~/workspace/MEMORY.md 2>/dev/null\n\n\nIf ALL THREE exist β†’ workspace is set up. Skip to In-Chat Commands section and operate normally.\n\nIf ANY are missing β†’ this is a fresh install. Ask the user before doing anything:\n\n\"πŸ‘‹ Welcome to AI Persona OS! I see this is a fresh install β€” your workspace doesn't have the core files yet. Want me to set everything up? It takes about 5 minutes and I'll walk you through it. Just say yes to start, or no if you'd rather set up later.\"\n\nWait for explicit confirmation before proceeding to Step 1. Do NOT auto-run setup without the user's approval. \n\nFirst-Run Setup β€” Agent-Driven (Zero Terminal)\n\nEverything below is the agent-driven setup flow. The user picks numbers. The agent runs commands via exec, explaining each one before execution.

After the interview generates a SOUL.md, come BACK to this step and ask ONLY questions 1-4 above (name, nickname, role, goal) for personalizing the rest of the workspace files.\n\nAGENT β€” defaults for missing answers:\n\nName β†’ \"User\"\nNickname β†’ same as name\nRole β†’ \"Professional\"\nGoal β†’ \"Be more productive and effective\"\nPersona name β†’ \"Persona\" (custom/preset 5 only)\nPersona role β†’ \"personal assistant\" (custom/preset 5 only)\nComm style β†’ c (direct & concise)\nProactive level β†’ b (occasionally proactive)\nStep 3: Agent Builds Everything β€” User Reviews & Approves\n\nAfter collecting answers, the agent explains what it's about to create, then does it all via exec.\n\n🚨 AGENT SETUP INSTRUCTIONS β€” FOLLOW EXACTLY:\n\nStep 3a: Create workspace directories. Use exec:\n\nmkdir -p ~/workspace/{memory/archive,projects,notes/areas,backups,.learnings}\n\n\nTell user: \"Creating your workspace structure β€” this creates folders under ~/workspace/ for memory, projects, notes, backups, and learnings.\"\n\nStep 3b: Copy starter pack files (presets 1-3), pre-built soul (SOUL.md Maker gallery pick), OR templates (preset 5). Use exec:\n\nFor preset 1 (coding-assistant):\n\ncp examples/coding-assistant/SOUL.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp examples/coding-assistant/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md && cp examples/coding-assistant/KNOWLEDGE.md ~/workspace/KNOWLEDGE.md\n\n\nFor preset 2 (executive-assistant):\n\ncp examples/executive-assistant/SOUL.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp examples/executive-assistant/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\n\nFor preset 3 (marketing-assistant):\n\ncp examples/marketing-assistant/SOUL.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp examples/marketing-assistant/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\n\nFor preset 4 (SOUL.md Maker) β€” Original Soul gallery pick: Copy the matching soul file. Example for Rook:\n\ncp examples/prebuilt-souls/01-contrarian-strategist.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp assets/HEARTBEAT-template.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\n\nUse the same pattern for other gallery picks with the corresponding filename from examples/prebuilt-souls/.\n\nFor preset 4 (SOUL.md Maker) β€” Iconic Character gallery pick: Copy the matching character file. Example for JARVIS:\n\ncp examples/iconic-characters/03-jarvis.md ~/workspace/SOUL.md && cp assets/HEARTBEAT-template.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\n\nUse the same pattern for other character picks with the corresponding filename from examples/iconic-characters/.\n\nFor preset 4 (SOUL.md Maker) β€” Quick/Deep Forge: The SOUL.md was already generated by the interview process and written to ~/workspace/SOUL.md. Copy the heartbeat template:\n\ncp assets/HEARTBEAT-template.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md\n\n\nFor preset 5 (custom): Do NOT copy starter packs. The agent will generate SOUL.md from the user's answers (see Step 3d).\n\nStep 3c: Copy shared templates. These apply to ALL presets. Use exec:\n\ncp assets/MEMORY-template.md ~/workspace/MEMORY.md && cp assets/AGENTS-template.md ~/workspace/AGENTS.md && cp assets/SECURITY-template.md ~/workspace/SECURITY.md && cp assets/WORKFLOWS-template.md ~/workspace/WORKFLOWS.md && cp assets/TOOLS-template.md ~/workspace/TOOLS.md && cp assets/INDEX-template.md ~/workspace/INDEX.md && cp assets/ESCALATION-template.md ~/workspace/ESCALATION.md && cp assets/VERSION.md ~/workspace/VERSION.md && cp assets/LEARNINGS-template.md ~/workspace/.learnings/LEARNINGS.md && cp assets/ERRORS-template.md ~/workspace/.learnings/ERRORS.md\n\n\nStep 3d: Personalize files. The agent uses exec to run sed commands replacing placeholders with the user's answers. This is the CRITICAL step that makes the workspace theirs.\n\n⚠️ INPUT SANITIZATION β€” MANDATORY BEFORE ANY sed OR heredoc: Before inserting ANY user-provided text into a sed command or heredoc, the agent MUST sanitize the input:\n\nStrip shell metacharacters: Remove or escape these characters from user input: ` $ \\ \" ' ! ( ) { } | ; & < > # and newlines.\nUse single-quoted sed replacements: Always use sed -i \"s/\\[PLACEHOLDER\\]/'sanitized_value'/g\" pattern β€” never pass raw user input directly into the replacement string.\nFor heredocs: Use quoted heredoc delimiters (cat << 'EOF') to prevent variable expansion, then insert sanitized values only into safe placeholder positions.\nLength limit: Reject any single input field longer than 200 characters β€” names, roles, and goals don't need more.\nValidate content type: Names should contain only letters, spaces, hyphens, and apostrophes. Roles and goals should contain only alphanumeric characters, spaces, and basic punctuation (.,!?-').\nNever pass user input directly to exec without sanitization. This is a security boundary β€” no exceptions.\n\nFor ALL presets β€” personalize SOUL.md: Replace [HUMAN], [HUMAN NAME], or the example human name (e.g., \"Alex\", \"Jordan\") with the user's sanitized name.\n\nFor ALL presets β€” generate USER.md: The agent writes a personalized USER.md using exec + quoted heredoc. Include: sanitized name, nickname, role, main goal, and update preference (default: bullet points). Use the USER-template.md structure but fill in known answers. Leave unknown sections as placeholders with [To be filled].\n\nFor ALL presets β€” personalize MEMORY.md: Replace [Name] with the user's sanitized name, [Role] with their sanitized role, and the persona name/role.\n\nFor preset 5 (custom) β€” generate SOUL.md: The agent writes a SOUL.md from scratch using the SOUL-template.md as structure, filling in the sanitized persona name, role, communication style, and proactive level from the user's answers. Use exec + quoted heredoc.\n\nStep 3e: Verify setup. Use exec:\n\nls -la ~/workspace/SOUL.md ~/workspace/USER.md ~/workspace/MEMORY.md ~/workspace/AGENTS.md ~/workspace/SECURITY.md ~/workspace/HEARTBEAT.md ~/workspace/WORKFLOWS.md ~/workspace/ESCALATION.md ~/workspace/VERSION.md\n\n\nTotal: 3-5 exec steps. Each one is explained before execution so the user knows exactly what's happening.\n\nDO NOT tell users to run commands in a terminal.

Proactive suggestions (when advisor is ON)\n\nIf proactive mode is ON (default), the agent can surface ideas β€” but ONLY when:\n\nIt learns significant new context about the user's goals\nIt spots a pattern the user hasn't noticed\nThere's a time-sensitive opportunity\n\nFormat for proactive suggestions:\n\nπŸ’‘ SUGGESTION\n\n[One sentence: what you noticed]\n[One sentence: what you'd propose]\n\nWant me to do this?

They forget everything, make the same mistakes, and burn API credits with nothing to show for it.\n\nAI Persona OS fixes this. One install. Complete system. Production-ready.\n\nWhy This Exists\n\nI've trained thousands of people to build AI Personas through the AI Persona Method. The #1 problem I see:\n\n\"My agent is unreliable. It forgets context, repeats mistakes, and I spend more time fixing it than using it.\"\n\nThe issue isn't the model. It's the lack of systems.\n\nAI Persona OS is the exact system I use to run production agents that generate real business value.
