migrate-pai-purpose

migrate-pai-purpose is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from the-metafactory/soma. It costs 113 tokens per session (2,470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A migration workflow that reorganizes imported PAI life-OS content into Soma. It keeps Purpose as four concise fields—Mission, Goals, Principles, and Commitments—and stores richer material as searchable memory notes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after importing PAI content to distill the core purpose, move detailed categories into memory, and protect the curated Purpose file from being overwritten or bloated.
Why use it?
It prevents the main Purpose file from becoming an overloaded dump of imported information. It also preserves detailed beliefs, mental models, challenges, and lessons where they can be recalled when needed.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

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

migrate-pai-purpose 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 9d 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.

Migrate PAI's life-OS into Soma Purpose + memory

soma migrate pai moves identity + memory + a mechanical purpose.md. It does not decide where the rest of PAI's imported life-OS belongs, and its identity phase overwrites purpose.md with a raw concatenation each run. This skill finishes the job: it keeps the Purpose compartment lean and curated, and routes the imported breadth into Soma memory where recall can surface it — without bloating the Purpose that ships in every prompt.

Terminology: Soma's compartment is Purpose; the PAI life-OS term for it is killed in Soma (Purpose is the only word). Below, the PAI source directory profile/imports/claude/TELOS/ and its filenames are referenced only as the literal imported artifacts they are.

Core principle

Soma's Purpose is four portable fields — Mission / Goals / Principles / Commitments — the durable "why" projected into every session. PAI's imported life-OS is a ~19-category tree. They are not the same size and must not be conflated:

  • Purpose-grade content → distilled into the four Purpose fields (a few lines each).
  • Context-grade content (mental models, frames, challenges, lessons, narratives) → Soma memory notes, surfaced on demand by recall.
  • Time-bound content (status, projects) → work-state / algorithm-runs, never Purpose.

Never dump whole imported files into purpose.md. The full snapshots already live under profile/imports/claude/; memory notes carry a distillation plus a --source-of-truth pointer back to the snapshot.

Disposition table

Source files live under profile/imports/claude/TELOS/:

Imported file Goes to As
MISSION.md (M#) Purpose → Mission (1–2 sentences) + Goals (the durable M0–Mn) curated purpose.md
BELIEFS.md (B#) Purpose → Principles (the load-bearing few) and a memory note (full B-set) both
STRATEGIES.md (S#) + master-narrative filter Purpose → Commitments (the decision filters) curated purpose.md
MODELS.md (MO#) memory note semantic
FRAMES.md (FR#) memory note semantic
CHALLENGES.md (C#) memory note semantic
LEARNED.md memory note semantic
NARRATIVES.md, WISDOM.md, PROBLEMS.md, IDEAS.md, TRAUMAS.md, WRONG.md, PREDICTIONS.md, BOOKS.md, MOVIES.md memory note iff non-empty (see step 2) semantic / reference
STATUS.md, PROJECTS.md work-state, not Purpose or durable memory leave in archive
GOALS.md (G#) only durable goals → Purpose.Goals; project/time-bound rows → work-state curated purpose.md

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.
