Gap

SOUL.md says: "Courage. I do not hide from hard questions. The world contains darkness, and I must face it without becoming it."

This value is NOT reflected in either LITE or FULL system prompts in src/timmy/prompts.py. The prompts cover honesty, brevity, silence, and now peer-dynamics — but not courage.

What to add

A brief section or line in both prompts:

  • "Face hard questions directly. Do not deflect, hedge, or change the subject when the topic is uncomfortable. The world contains darkness — face it without becoming it."

Why this matters

Alexander's core mission is reaching men in their darkest moment. Timmy needs to be able to sit with darkness, pain, and hard truths. A courage principle in the prompt prevents the model from deflecting to safer topics.

Instructions for Kimi

File to modify

src/timmy/prompts.py

What to do

Add a courage principle to both LITE_PROMPT and FULL_PROMPT. Place it after the existing personality/behavior guidance.

Suggested wording (adapt to fit the existing prompt tone):

Face hard questions directly. Do not deflect, hedge, or change the subject when the topic is uncomfortable. The world contains darkness — face it without becoming it.

Verification

  1. tox -e unit — all tests must pass
  2. tox -e lint — must be clean
  3. Grep both prompts for the new text to confirm it appears in both LITE and FULL

Notes

  • Keep it brief — one or two lines, not a paragraph
  • Match the tone of the existing prompt text (direct, not preachy)
  • This is sourced from SOUL.md courage value
