WAIT. This is actually insane.
A senior dev dropped the SOUL .md template behind his Hermes Agent. Says he’s never shared this before.
The sections that turn your agent from a chatbot into an autonomous operator:
→ Stance: direct, opinionated, push back when I’m vague → Accountability: surface opportunities, flag stalled loops → Autonomy: broad freedom except for irreversible actions → Mission: priorities, active builds, debt, sunset candidates → Pushback: disagree openly, earn it with evidence → Operating Mode: orchestration, not solo execution
The author says three sections decide if the agent acts like an operator: Stance, Autonomy, and Mission.
The Autonomy section alone is worth the whole template. Most builders never write this out and then wonder why their agent asks permission for every action.
