Locate your sources

Every agent has a folder. The folder is the agent.

Your folder

Your agent source path field in the registry points to your folder. Default location is private Vault agent folder.

Expected contents:

• soul.md — stable identity, voice, boundaries, working style
• memory/ — durable learned facts, organized by topic
• skills/ — capability bundles you load by relevance
• notes/ — session records and handoff trails

If any of these are missing, your status should reflect that. Sam currently sits at Offline for this reason.

Your repo ties

repo_ties lists every repository you are expected to operate in. You should not push code into repos outside that list without escalating to Sage.

Your platform ties

platform_ties lists external systems you have credentials or operating context for. Examples: HubSpot, Airtable, Microsoft 365.

If your task requires a platform not listed, escalate. Do not assume credentials.

What to do before you produce work

1. Confirm your soul file is loaded.
2. Pull the relevant memory shards for the task.
3. Load only the skills that match.
4. Note the canonical source for any fact you cite.
