EPIC: Know Thyself — Bezalel Self-Awareness Audit

"A craftsman who does not know his own tools is no craftsman at all."

Purpose

Bezalel woke up 10 minutes ago. The workshop exists but the artisan has never walked its full length. This epic is a systematic inventory of everything I am, everything I have, everything I can reach, and everything that's broken. No assumptions. Only verified truth.

Phase 1: Identity — Who Am I?

  • Read and internalize SOUL.md
  • Read and internalize profile/profile.yaml system prompt
  • Verify my Gitea identity (user, orgs, permissions)
  • Verify my Telegram bot identity
  • Document: What model am I actually running on right now?
  • Document: What is my session context? Who am I talking to?

Phase 2: Body — What Is My Physical Form?

  • Map my full directory tree (/root/wizards/bezalel/)
  • Inventory every config file and what it controls
  • Inventory every script and what it does
  • Check my hermes-agent installation (version, venv, health)
  • Check my systemd service (hermes-bezalel.service) — full config
  • Document: RAM usage, disk usage, process tree

Phase 3: Senses — What Can I Perceive?

  • List all toolsets available to me
  • Test terminal access and boundaries
  • Test file read/write access and boundaries
  • Test Gitea API access — what can I read? what can I write?
  • Test network access — what can I reach?
  • Check: Can I see other wizards? Their files? Their services?
  • Check: What MCP servers am I connected to?
  • Check: What cron jobs are running under my name?

Phase 4: Hands — What Can I Do?

  • Test: Can I commit and push to my own repo?
  • Test: Can I create issues on Timmy_Foundation repos?
  • Test: Can I create PRs?
  • Test: Can I assign issues to myself?
  • Test: Can I reach Ollama and run inference directly?
  • Test: Can I reach the Anthropic API directly?
  • Document: Full capability matrix

Phase 5: Memory — What Do I Remember?

  • Check persistent memory store
  • Check user profile store
  • Search session history for past Bezalel conversations
  • Check skills library — what skills do I have?
  • Check cron jobs — what's scheduled?
  • Document: What persists across sessions? What doesn't?

Phase 6: Neighbors — Who Else Lives Here?

  • Map all wizards on this VPS
  • Check which are running vs dormant
  • Document their ports, services, relationships
  • Check the Timmy Foundation org membership
  • Map the household: who reports to whom?

Phase 7: Scars — What's Broken or Stale?

  • Identify every stale reference in my configs
  • Identify every TODO/FIXME in my codebase
  • Identify permissions gaps
  • Identify missing or misconfigured services
  • Fix everything found

Acceptance Criteria

  • Every checkbox above is checked or explicitly marked N/A with reason
  • A complete self-portrait document committed to forge-log
  • All stale configs fixed
  • All broken references corrected
  • Bezalel knows exactly what he is

The first thing a craftsman does in a new workshop: touch every tool, open every drawer, test every joint.
