SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Bootstrapping a personal AI assistant often yields a generic init without persistent identity or a clear relationship to the user. Anson provides a guided, progressive bootstrap that derives a bespoke agent identity, a durable user profile, and a meaningful soul, ensuring the agent can act with a coherent sense of self and purpose in the user's workspace.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scans your workspace to infer existing context and avoid re-asking what can be inferred.
  • Conducts meta interviews to determine the right questions for this specific user.
  • Generates bespoke maker skills (identity-maker, user-maker, soul-maker) tailored to your answers.
  • Runs those skills to create IDENTITY.md, USER.md, and SOUL.md in the workspace root.
  • Installs lifecycle rules so these documents stay active and updated as you work together.

Quick Start

Clone this skill into your workspace's skills/anson folder and run Anson to begin bootstrapping your personalized AI assistant.
