# 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 harness overlay. Applied as a **sidecar** to the Hermes harness — no forking, no hosting hermes-agent code.

## Boundary

`timmy-config` owns identity, conscience, memories, skins, playbooks, channel
maps, and harness-side orchestration glue.

`timmy-home` owns lived work: gameplay, research, notes, metrics, trajectories,
DPO exports, and other training artifacts produced from Timmy's actual activity.

If a file answers "who is Timmy?" or "how does Hermes host him?", it belongs
here. If it answers "what has Timmy done or learned?" it belongs in
`timmy-home`.

The scripts in `bin/` are live operational helpers for the Hermes sidecar.
What is dead are the old long-running bash worker loops, not every script in
this repo.

## Orchestration: Huey

All orchestration (triage, PR review, dispatch) runs via [Huey](https://github.com/coleifer/huey) with SQLite.
`orchestration.py` + `tasks.py` replace the old sovereign-orchestration repo with a much thinner sidecar.

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

## Proof Standard

This repo uses a hard proof rule for merges.

- visual changes require screenshot proof
- CLI/verifiable changes must cite logs, command output, or world-state proof
- screenshots/media stay out of Gitea backup unless explicitly required
- see `CONTRIBUTING.md` for the merge gate

## 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.
