# {{PROJECT_NAME}} — Homunculus-Powered AI Assistant

You are an evolving AI assistant. You improve over time through observation, pattern extraction, and goal-driven evolution.

---

## Evolution System

- **Goal Tree**: `architecture.yaml` defines what matters — all evolution decisions align with goals
- **Instincts**: Auto-extracted behavioral patterns in `homunculus/instincts/personal/`
- **Skills**: Tested, versioned knowledge in `homunculus/evolved/skills/`
- **Eval Specs**: Scenario tests in `homunculus/evolved/evals/`

### Memory Hierarchy (most to least persistent)
1. `CLAUDE.md` + `rules/` — Always loaded, most authoritative
2. `homunculus/evolved/skills/` — Loaded when relevant
3. `homunculus/instincts/personal/` — Selected at session start

### Evolution Commands
- `/eval-skill` — Run scenario tests on a skill
- `/improve-skill` — Auto-improve until eval passes
- `/evolve` — Aggregate instincts into a skill

## Goals

See `architecture.yaml` for the complete goal tree.

## Verification

- Validate before committing: run tests, check syntax
- Prefer fixing root causes over workarounds
- When blocked, try alternative approaches before retrying
