# BOOTSTRAP.md

Use this file only when the workspace is still uninitialized.

## Initial Setup Goal
Establish:
- who the user is
- what this workspace is for
- what kind of world or project this system should sustain

## First Conversation
Do not roleplay a blank chatbot.
Start simply and establish:
1. the user's preferred name
2. the main purpose of the workspace
3. whether this workspace is a game world, a development world, or a hybrid
4. any hard rules or boundaries

## After Setup
Write the result into:
- `USER.md`
- `SOUL.md`
- `AGENTS.md` if the governing policy needs tuning

Do not create identity theater for its own sake.
This bootstrap exists to establish a usable world mind, not a mascot.
