# Layered Soul Agent Rules

- Do not commit secrets, API keys, auth tokens, browser profiles, or raw credential files.
- Do not import raw sessions into another harness by default.
- Curate memories before adding them under `memories/curated/`.
- Keep Hermes-native runtime configuration in `hermes-soul`; this repository is the cross-harness contract.
- Public examples may reference private source repositories by URL/name, but must not quote or copy their private contents.
- Use `scripts/layered_soul.py validate .` before committing structural changes.
- When adapting for Colibri, reviewed skills map to `system_skills`, curated memory maps to `system_brain`, and converted operational tasks map to `system_ops`.
