Question 1

What is a soul?

Accepted Answer

A soul is a portable identity bundle for an AI agent — four Markdown files (soul.md, identity.md, user.md, agents.md) that encode personality, memory, voice, and writing style. Forged once, applied anywhere.

Question 2

Which AI tools support soul files?

Accepted Answer

OpenClaw natively, Claude Code via CLAUDE.md, Cursor via .cursorrules, and Hermes via agent.md. Souls export to all four formats.

Question 3

How long does the AgentSoul personality test take?

Accepted Answer

About 12 minutes for the 49-question Deep Forge test. Flash Forge analyses screenshots in under 90 seconds. Gao Dao is a multi-turn guided dialogue, typically 8–15 minutes.

Question 4

Is AgentSoul free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — free during early access. No payment, no waitlist, no paid tier for the test. The output Markdown files are yours forever, regardless of future pricing.

Question 5

Why is the personality model based on the Enneagram?

Accepted Answer

The Enneagram captures motivations, growth-edge, and dark-side patterns that prompt-style personality descriptions miss. It maps cleanly to the four-file output: type drives soul.md, wing and stress points shape agents.md style guidance.

Gao Dao is Chinese-only.
