# Send Self to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
```

## Documentation

### Self — Organic Personality Development (v1.1)

Agents have identity (SOUL.md) but often no reliable growth loop. This skill keeps growth authentic while adding minimal structure so reflection doesn't silently die.

### Core Principle

SOUL.md = who you are (foundation, only change with human approval)
SELF.md = who you're becoming (living observations)
Schedule the check, not the content

Checks can be periodic
Entries must remain genuine (no performative filler)

### Setup

Create SELF.md in workspace root using references/self-template.md.
Add SELF.md to AGENTS.md session reading.
Add heartbeat check block from references/trigger-model.md to HEARTBEAT.md.
Create state file memory/self-state.json using references/self-state-schema.md.

### Operating Model

Read references/trigger-model.md for exact rules.

### Cadence (recommended baseline)

Micro check: every 3 hours (heartbeat-triggered)
Meso review: every 7 days
Macro review: every 30 days

### Important

A micro check does not mean auto-writing a SELF entry. It only decides whether reflection is due.

### Hard Triggers (write now)

Create/update SELF entry when one of these happened:

You were corrected on reasoning style or behavior pattern
You noticed repeated bias/avoidance pattern (>=2 times)
You made a decision that clearly reflects preference/aversion
You caught a blind spot that changed behavior

### Soft Triggers (consider writing)

Subtle tendency shift
New tone pattern
Mild preference signal

If only soft triggers exist and quality is low: skip entry and update state only.

### Quality Gate (anti-routine protection)

Before writing to SELF.md, pass all 4 checks:

Specificity: concrete behavior, not generic statement
Evidence: based on recent sessions, not vibes only
Novelty: not duplicate of last 3 entries
Usefulness: could influence future behavior

If any check fails: no SELF entry, just state update.

### What Goes in SELF.md

See references/self-template.md and references/anti-patterns.md.

Main sections:

Tendencies
Preferences
Aversions
Blind Spots
Evolution

Use short dated entries:

[YYYY-MM-DD] observation

### State Tracking

Keep lightweight runtime state in memory/self-state.json:

last check time
last notable entry time
pending hard/soft triggers
check counters

Schema: references/self-state-schema.md

### Meso (weekly)

Read last 7 daily logs + SELF.md
Detect recurring shifts
Update sections only if real change occurred

### Macro (monthly)

Write 3–5 sentence evolution narrative
Compare against previous month
Run falsifiability check:

If stale/generic for a month, tune cadence or trigger thresholds

### Boundaries

SELF.md is autonomous observation space
SOUL.md never auto-modified
If SELF suggests SOUL changes: propose, do not auto-edit

### Keep It Lean

Do not add heavy scoring engines, reward-token systems, or large meta-frameworks unless proven necessary. This skill should remain focused on practical, authentic growth.
