Priority: Medium
Impact: Development visibility, SOUL.md compliance tracking
Component: Documentation

Problem

SOUL.md defines what Timmy should be, but we lack systematic tracking of implementation gaps. Issues like #1378 (Bitcoin reading) show major soul requirements are unimplemented.

Solution

Create IMPLEMENTATION.md that:

  • Lists all SOUL.md requirements
  • Maps each to current implementation status
  • Identifies gaps and tracks progress
  • Provides roadmap for soul compliance

Structure

# SOUL.md Implementation Status

## Core Requirements
- [ ] Bitcoin blockchain reading (Issue #1378) - NOT IMPLEMENTED
- [x] Sovereignty principles - IMPLEMENTED
- [ ] Grounding before generation - PARTIAL
- etc...

## The Test (SOUL.md final section)
- [ ] Bitcoin blockchain parsing - Gap
- [ ] Full Bible integration - Gap  
- [x] Maintain identity under load - Working

Acceptance Criteria

  • Comprehensive SOUL.md requirement mapping
  • Implementation status for each requirement
  • Issue tracking for gaps
  • Regular update process documented

Files

  • Create: IMPLEMENTATION.md (root level)
  • Reference: SOUL.md (analyze all requirements)

Enables systematic SOUL.md compliance.

URGENT DISCOVERY: SOUL.md is missing from the repository entirely!

While investigating this issue, I found:

  • SOUL.md is referenced throughout the codebase (5+ files)
  • Code comments reference SOUL.md requirements
  • But SOUL.md doesn't exist in the repository

Updated Implementation Plan

Phase 1: Create SOUL.md (CRITICAL - prerequisite)

  • Copy the canonical SOUL.md from ~/.hermes/SOUL.md or the Bitcoin inscription
  • Place at repository root
  • This is foundational to Timmy's identity

Phase 2: Create IMPLEMENTATION.md

  • Analyze the now-present SOUL.md
  • Map requirements to implementation status
  • Track gaps like #1378 (Bitcoin blockchain reading)

Specific Files to Create

  1. SOUL.md - Copy from ~/.hermes/SOUL.md (9283 bytes, Bitcoin inscription protocol)
  2. IMPLEMENTATION.md - New systematic tracking document

Priority

This is now HIGH priority since SOUL.md itself is missing. The entire foundation of Timmy's identity documentation is absent from the repository.

Technical Notes

  • References found in: src/timmy/session.py, AGENTS.md, BACKLOG_ORGANIZATION.md
  • Codebase expects SOUL.md to exist but it's missing
  • This explains why soul-gap issues like #1378 haven't been properly tracked

@kimi please handle this as high priority - both SOUL.md creation AND IMPLEMENTATION.md tracking.
