Turn a user-authorized corpus into a dated, evidence-calibrated, explicitly partial and revisable whole-person working model. Use when Codex is asked to understand, capture, or reconstruct a person; create a personal operating manual, master document, digital-twin or proxy bootstrap; extract worldview, values, taste, communication style, decisions, tensions, or tacit patterns; enrich a person with public research; or combine structured Ensoul source packets from Peopleblade or Message Like Me…

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

# Ensoul

Turn only the evidence the user authorizes into a dated, standalone working model of a person. Recover explicit facts and tacit patterns without flattening the subject into a resume, work persona, archetype, personality score, or supposedly complete identity record.

The result should help a thoughtful collaborator understand the subject and let an assistant reason, write, prioritize, and collaborate in a way that resembles their demonstrated patterns. It must also say where resemblance would be unsafe or unsupported.

## Core standard

Aim for fidelity and ambition, not false completeness.

Treat the output as a purpose-shaped interpretation of a bounded corpus, not a definitive account of a person. Confidence describes support for a claim within the evidence examined; it does not say how essentially that claim defines the subject or how reliably it predicts them everywhere. Keep every part revisable in light of new evidence, changed circumstances, and the subject's corrections. The ambition is whole-person; the claim is never completeness.

- Infer from repeated choices, behavior, language, tradeoffs, and evolution across time.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add hraness/textbutler/ensoul@sha256:3f5d8e9209178855

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260901.fad4bd9, 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.
