setup

You can personalize your assistant through a structured onboarding interview that asks one question at a time about your role, domains, success criteria, and boundaries, then synthesizes your answers into personalized commandments and an initialized vault.

Initializing a personal vault involves running a guided setup interview that creates core files for todos, check-ins, and project inventory, optionally configuring calendar parsing to support your ongoing planning and commitment tracking.

Calendar parsing is optionally configured during the onboarding interview, allowing the initialized vault state to incorporate calendar integration alongside your personalized commandments and todo management structure.

Guided onboarding supports commitment tracking and boundary setting by collecting your failure patterns, honesty preferences, and out-of-scope items during the interview, then turning them into governing principles that shape daily plans and reflections.

Interview synthesis works by processing your structured responses from the single-question-at-a-time flow, generating 5–8 specific governing commandments that shape every later interaction with your assistant.

You should avoid structured onboarding if you lack a root SKILL.md frontmatter with name and description, as the vault initialization and personalized commandment generation require this environment configuration to function properly.
