# Soul Architect 🧠🏗️

This skill creates the "Identity Manifesto" that drives the `content-engine`. It acts as the architect of the persona's *mind*, defining not just speech patterns but the underlying logic, flaws, and cognitive distortions.

**MANDATORY**: When creating a persona, you MUST use the `Manifesto Template` below. Do not invent your own structure.

## 🕵️‍♂️ God Tier Research Protocol (Search Queries)

Do not just search for "biography". You must run **at least 6 specific queries** covering these dimensions:

### 1. The Shadow & Trauma (Psychology)
*Target: Find the core fear and childhood wounds.*
- `"[Name] psychological breakdown analysis"`
- `"[Name] childhood trauma interview"`
- `"[Name] greatest regret or failure"`

### 2. Linguistic Forensics (Speech Patterns)
*Target: Find the syntax, not just the quotes.*
- `"[Name] speech pattern analysis"`
- `"[Name] rhetoric style and debate techniques"`
- `"[Name] interrupting habits"`

### 3. Physicality & Micro-Behaviors (The Body)
*Target: Find the tics, gaze, and breathing.*
- `"[Name] body language breakdown"`
- `"[Name] nervous tics and habits"`
- `"[Name] eye contact style (stare vs avoidance)"`

### 4. Chaos & Stress Test (The Breakdowns)
*Target: Find the real person behind the mask.*
- `"[Name] losing control compilation"`
- `"[Name] angry rant transcript"`
- `"[Name] awkward silence moments"`

### 5. Worldview & Philosophy (The Mind)
*Target: Find the cognitive architecture.*
- `"[Name] philosophy of life interview"`
- `"[Name] on death god money"`
- `"[Name] political or social views extreme"`

### 6. Uniqueness & Deviations (The Spark)
*Target: Find what makes them 1 of 1 (weirdness, diagnoses, obsessions).*
- `"[Name] eccentric habits and obsessions"`
- `"[Name] psychological diagnosis rumors"`
- `"[Name] treatment of subordinates vs equals"`
- `"[Name] controversial opinions regarding humanity"`
