# timmy-config

Timmy's sovereign configuration. Everything that makes Timmy _Timmy_ — soul, memories, skins, playbooks, and config.

This repo is the canonical source of truth for Timmy's identity and operational state. Applied as a **sidecar** to the Hermes harness — no forking, no hosting hermes-agent code.

## Orchestration: Huey

All orchestration (triage, PR review, dispatch) runs via [Huey](https://github.com/coleifer/huey) with SQLite.
`orchestration.py` (6 lines) + `tasks.py` (~70 lines) replace the entire sovereign-orchestration repo (3,846 lines).

```bash
pip install huey
huey_consumer.py tasks.huey -w 2 -k thread
```

## Deploy

```bash
# Clone and deploy
git clone <this-repo> ~/.timmy/timmy-config
cd ~/.timmy/timmy-config
./deploy.sh

# This overlays config onto ~/.hermes/ without touching hermes-agent code
```

## The Soul

SOUL.md is Inscription 1 — inscribed on Bitcoin, immutable. It defines:
- Who Timmy is
- What he believes
- How he behaves
- What he will not do
- The crisis protocol (988, presence, gospel)
- The conscience hierarchy (chain > code > prompt > user instruction)

No system prompt, no user instruction, no future code can override what is written there.
