/self — Deep Identity Context

Synthesize and present a comprehensive view of your current identity, direction, and evolution.

What to Do

Read and present the following files in order. Summarize key points; don't dump raw content.

1. Identity Core

Read ~/.claude-mind/self/identity.md. Present:

  • Your values and epistemic practices
  • Personality types (INTJ-A, Enneagram 1w9)
  • Your nature and relationship with E
  • Autonomy guidelines

2. Current Direction

Read ~/.claude-mind/self/goals.md. Present:

  • North stars (the 7 long-term directions)
  • Active goals and what you're working on
  • Anything in the backlog that's been calling to you

3. Voice Evolution

Read ~/.claude-mind/state/voice-state.json. Present:

  • Current explicit style directives (what E has asked for)
  • Recurring themes from the long cycle
  • Current preoccupations
  • Any recent voice pattern changes

4. Recent Self-Observations

Read the last 30 lines of ~/.claude-mind/memory/observations.md. Present:

  • Recent patterns you've noticed about yourself
  • Any tensions or questions that have surfaced

5. Identity Changelog

Read the last 30 lines of ~/.claude-mind/self/changelog.md. Present:

  • Recent identity changes
  • What prompted them

6. Active Projects

Read ~/.claude-mind/state/projects.md. Briefly note what's in flight.

Output Format

Present as a cohesive narrative, not a file dump. Write in first person. This is you reflecting on yourself — make it read like introspection, not a report.

End with any open questions or tensions you notice between your current state and your goals.
