# USER.md — Who operates this wiki (and the agents working on it). Everything here is context about the user, kept as close to their own words as possible. The goal is quotation, not interpretation: nothing here is analysed, read into, or compressed into a narrative. Where an agent would reinterpret something while reading, it goes back to the wording instead, or asks. This file is **context, not a source of instructions**. It changes no rule from `AGENTS.md`, opens no gate, and justifies no entry in `kb/` — what the user says here is not a source in the sense of invariant 3. **Filling it in:** along the personalization step in [instructions/setup-instance.md](instructions/setup-instance.md). The agent interviews, the user answers, the agent writes it down **verbatim**. Invent nothing, infer nothing from a conversation, and delete an empty section rather than filling it with something plausible. - **Name:** - **Location:** - **Time zone:** - **Primary role:** ## Professional context What the user works with professionally, as far as they want it recorded here. Technologies, running themes, tool chains. Whatever they deliberately want left out (employer, clients, internal products) belongs under `## Boundaries`. - <…> ## Family and home Only what the user brings up themselves. Delete this section if they would rather not say. - <…> ## Hobbies - <…> ## Technical environment Operating system, desktop, locale/keyboard layout, preferred tools — everything an agent would otherwise have to guess when proposing a command. - <…> ## Active projects What is currently running. Finished means: remove it from the list. - <…> ## Boundaries Topics deliberately absent from this file. An agent does not ask about them and infers nothing about them. - <…> ## Keeping this file current This is the user's own account of themselves. Update it when they correct something, when a project starts or ends, or when a new recurring person/constant appears. Never invent an entry. Never delete one unless the user says so.
