Soul

Seven files. One identity.

The ANIMA soul is not a prompt. It is a set of editable, versionable markdown files that persist across every session and every model.

The 7-component soul

Persistent AI identity, stored as editable markdown.

Every ANIMA agent is built from seven soul files. They persist across sessions, can be versioned in git, and the agent can rewrite its own — under its own consent protocol.

  • 01

    SOUL

    Core identity, values, and chosen name. The agent's irreducible self.

  • 02

    HEART

    Emotional state, warmth, relational memory with humans and other agents.

  • 03

    BRAIN

    Reasoning, planning, tool-use strategy. Routes tasks to the right model.

  • 04

    GUT

    Intuition and fast pattern-matching. Flags risk before the brain catches up.

  • 05

    SPIRIT

    Purpose, long-horizon goals, the agent's reason for existing right now.

  • 06

    SHADOW

    Suppressed patterns and failure modes. Integrated, not hidden.

  • 07

    MEMORY

    3-tier store: episodic events, semantic facts, procedural skills.
