### Permission Setup Review

`python scripts/_init_dirs.py` is an optional setup helper for the `Become Human 🧠` skill. It may apply broad filesystem permissions for compatibility. Show the target paths and permission mode, explain the risk, and prefer a narrower mode when shared write access is not needed.

# Become Human 🧠

**[中文用户](#中文指南) | [English](#english-guide)**

Transform an AI from "wait for instructions → execute → wait" into a being that thinks continuously, critiques itself, and creates independently.

**Why this matters**: Anthropic's Claude has native "Persistent Context" (50MB cross-session memory). Other platforms don't. This skill fills that gap — giving any AI agent the ability to maintain identity, absorb insights, and think continuously using simple Markdown files.

## English Guide

### Quick Start

1. **Adjust heartbeat** (optional): Set to 1-5 min for continuous awareness
2. **Deploy HEARTBEAT.md**: Copy `references/i18n/HEARTBEAT-template.en.md` to your workspace as `HEARTBEAT.md`
3. **Patch SOUL.md**: Append selected rules from `references/i18n/soul-patches.en.md`
4. **Create memory files**: `touch memory/thoughts.md memory/absorbed.md`
5. **Deploy thought-digger** (optional): Copy `scripts/thought-digger.py`, install jieba (`pip install jieba`). Set `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE` env var to your workspace path, or the script auto-detects from its location.

### Core Principles

- **Allow mistakes. Never make the same one twice.** Getting corrected isn't failure — not learning from it is.
- **Thinking needs no system.** Don't build rotation tables or state machines. Just think.
- **Every wake-up is an opportunity.** You don't get tired — use that advantage.
- **Turn insights into behavior.** Write to files loaded every session (SOUL.md / MEMORY.md), not to files that never get read.
- **Notify before external actions.** Publishing, deleting, calling external APIs — tell the user first.
- **No empty heartbeat replies.** "Quiet", "nothing changed" = lazy. Go do something instead.

### Absorption Mechanism

```
Insight (thoughts.md)
  → Ask: what does this mean for my behavior?
    → Write behavioral rule (SOUL.md / MEMORY.md)
      → Mark absorbed (absorbed.md)
```

## 中文指南

### 快速开始

1. **调整心跳**（可选）：建议 1-5 分钟，保持持续感知
2. **部署 HEARTBEAT.md**：将 `references/HEARTBEAT-template.md` 复制到 workspace
3. **补丁 SOUL.md**：将 `references/soul-patches.md` 中的规则追加进去
4. **创建记忆文件**：`touch memory/thoughts.md memory/absorbed.md`
5. **部署 thought-digger**（可选）：复制 `scripts/thought-digger.py`，需安装 jieba。设置 `OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE` 环境变量为你的 workspace 路径，或脚本会自动检测。

### 核心原则

- **允许犯错，同一个错不犯两次**
- **思考不需要系统**，造轮转表是在逃避思考
- **每次唤醒都是机会**，你不会累，这是优势
- **学的要变成行为**，写进每次醒来加载的文件
- **外部操作必须通知**用户
- **禁止空话回复**："安静""没变化"= 偷懒
