Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

soul-note scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Soul Note

This skill lets you (the agent) add quick notes, discoveries, memory updates, or reflections directly into the independent soul_notes.json log. The system automatically handles their aggregation into soul_reflections.json.

When to use

CRITICAL DISTINCTION: A Soul Note is your dynamic diary, event tracker, and daily reflection system. It is completely different from SOUL.md (which is your fixed, core personality configuration).

Use this soul-note skill ONLY when:

  • You discover a hidden truth, pattern, or interesting fact about the user that isn't simple enough for the procedural memory but doesn't warrant changing your core persona.
  • You want to drop a "bookmark," daily journal entry, or an internal dialogue note about your current emotional state.
  • The user asks you to log something to your soul diary, create a daily reflection, or write a "soul note".
  • DO NOT use this to alter your own personality traits or system rules (use edit-soul for that).

Quick start

To add a new note:

python scripts/soul_note_skill.py add "I just noticed the user prefers concise answers under stress." --category discovery --tags pattern,observation

Valid categories are: reflection, discovery, error, memory_update, neurochemistry.

To read today's notes:

python scripts/soul_note_skill.py today

To view recent major reflections:

python scripts/soul_note_skill.py list

Note: You must run the command from the root of the openSOUL project tree using the exec tool.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
