Re-run or deepen the agent's identity interview. Drives the SHARED bootstrap answer bank (state/interview.json) via `gbrain bootstrap interview --set/--show/--confirm`, then re-renders the identity files with `gbrain bootstrap render --only <FILE> --force`. One answer store, two surfaces: first-boot bootstrap and this re-run skill write the same bank, so an updated answer flows into SOUL.md, USER.md, ACCESS_POLICY.md, and HEARTBEAT.md without hand-editing rendered files. Every answer is the…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Soul Audit — Agent Identity Builder (re-run / deepen surface)

Update the agent's identity through an interactive interview, any time after
bootstrap. This skill does NOT generate files from scratch and does NOT write
identity prose itself: it records the user's answers into the shared answer
bank, then lets the bootstrap render engine produce the files. That keeps one
source of truth — `state/interview.json` — no matter which surface (first-boot
bootstrap, this skill, a future re-audit) collected the answers.

**IMPORTANT:** Content comes from the USER'S OWN ANSWERS, recorded verbatim.
NEVER invent, embellish, or default an identity answer. The render gate
structurally refuses until required answers exist and were read back and
confirmed by the human.

## Contract

This skill guarantees:
- Answers land in the shared bank via `gbrain bootstrap interview --set KEY "value"`
  (verbatim, one key per answer; `--skip KEY` records an explicit decline).
- The read-back ritual runs before any render: `--show` the full answer set,
  mirror it to the user, then `--confirm <hash>` with the hash `--status`
  printed. Confirming a set the user never saw fails by design.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add garrytan/gbrain/soul-audit@sha256:f368e76e78e7f7ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
