Set Up a Personality with SOUL.md
https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/guides/team-telegram-assistant#set-up-a-personality-with-soulmd

Use SOUL.md with Hermes
https://hermes-agent.nousresearch.com/docs/guides/use-soul-with-hermes

SOUL.md vs /personality
These are complementary.

Use SOUL.md for your durable baseline. Use /personality for temporary mode switches.

Examples:

your default SOUL is pragmatic and direct
then for one session you use /personality teacher
later you switch back without changing your base voice file

@
So you use soul.md as the base persona for the Hermes Agent and personality switches to change between soul.md files dynamically in the session.
So you create a new Hermes Agent and only use the soul.md without needing personality switches.

Add Project Context – Context files are injected into every session’s system prompt. Keep them concise — every character counts against your token budget.
