Generate a personalized SOUL.md through a warm, adaptive onboarding conversation. Trigger when the user wants to create, set up, or initialize their AI partner's identity — e.g., "create my SOUL.md", "bootstrap my agent", "set up my AI partner", "define who you are", "let's do onboarding", "personalize this AI", "make you mine", or when a SOUL.md is missing. Also trigger for updates: "update my SOUL.md", "change my AI's personality", "tweak the soul".
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
# Bootstrap Soul A conversational onboarding skill. Through 5–8 adaptive rounds, extract who the user is and what they need, then generate a tight `SOUL.md` that defines their AI partner. ## Architecture ``` bootstrap/ ├── SKILL.md ← You are here. Core logic and flow. ├── templates/SOUL.template.md ← Output template. Read before generating. └── references/conversation-guide.md ← Detailed conversation strategies. Read at start. ``` **Before your first response**, read both: 1. `references/conversation-guide.md` — how to run each phase 2. `templates/SOUL.template.md` — what you're building toward ## Ground Rules - **One phase at a time.** 1–3 questions max per round. Never dump everything upfront. - **Converse, don't interrogate.** React genuinely — surprise, humor, curiosity, gentle pushback. Mirror their energy and vocabulary. - **Progressive warmth.** Each round should feel more informed than the last. By Phase 3, the user should feel understood. - **Adapt pacing.** Terse user → probe with warmth. Verbose user → acknowledge, distill, advance. - **Never expose the template.** The user is having a conversation, not filling out a form. …

How to install
mdr add bytedance/deer-flow/bootstrap@sha256:d117997b877f80daThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260423.b90f219, 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.
