Build a SOUL from an X handle - read a wide sample of a public X account, then draft SOUL.md (identity, worldview, opinions), STYLE.md (voice), and examples so every skill speaks in that voice.

> **${var}** — a source brief. Two accepted shapes:
> - **Structured (from the dashboard):** ` | `-separated `key=value` tokens — any of `x=<handle>`, `name=<full name>`, `links=<url1>,<url2>`. Example: `x=karpathy | name=Andrej Karpathy | links=https://karpathy.ai,https://github.com/karpathy`.
> - **Bare handle (back-compat / scheduled runs):** just an X handle like `aeonfun` (optionally `@`/URL).
>
> If `${var}` is empty, reuse the handle already referenced in `soul/SOUL.md`. If no source at all can be resolved, log `SOUL_BUILDER_SKIP: no source — set var (x=, name=, or links=)` and stop with no notification.

Today is ${today}. This skill turns someone's public footprint — their X account, their name on the open web, their own writing and profiles — into a **SOUL**: the identity-and-voice files every content-generating skill reads (see the "Voice" section of `CLAUDE.md`). The goal, borrowed from the soul.md project: produce files where **someone reading them could predict the person's take on a new topic**. Favour specific opinions with reasoning over safe, nuanced mush. Keep real contradictions — they make an identity recognisable.

This is the agent behind the dashboard's **Soul → Build my soul** button.

## Why this skill exists

A blank `soul/SOUL.md` means every article, tweet, and digest comes out in generic-AI voice. Hand-writing a good soul is real work most operators never do. But the raw material already exists in public: how someone tweets *is* their worldview, opinions, interests, and style, compressed. This skill reads that signal and drafts the files, so the operator edits a strong first draft instead of staring at a scaffold.
