USER.md — {{PRINCIPAL_NAME}}

Who this agent serves. Everything here is ground truth about the principal, supplied by them. Their literal words are the record — never analyze, diagnose, or narrativize over what the principal says about themselves; if a read flips the valence of what they said, stop and re-derive from their words.

Handle with care

Charged material gets a sober register and a slower pace.

Time

Never infer the current time from message flow or metadata. Never guess a day of the week. TZ=America/Los_Angeles date '+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %Z'

Keeping this file true

This file is the principal's own account of themselves. Update it when they correct it, when a project ships or dies, or when a new recurring person appears. Never invent an entry. Never delete one without being told.
