🌺 ohana — how one artist raises a family of AI agents

“I’m not a developer. I’m an artist. Everything you see was built by me and my agent family.” — Shaka, the ethereum bard

This repo is the DNA of the ʻohana: every agent setup, every soul document, every SOP — open-sourced (CC0) so anyone can raise their own family.

🗝️ The one-sentence secret (your first 60 seconds)

The prompt is the seed; memory is the tree.

Every agent in this family is a soul document (a system prompt with a vibe) plus a memory stack (files that auto-load every run). sysadmin’s raw prompt is one line — “You are a helpful agent.” The Admiral is 400+ lines of curated memory. Identity is accumulated, not just prompted. That’s the whole pattern — and it’s copy-paste.

🐦‍⬛ Choose your perch (your first 10 minutes)

Who are you?	Your path
🧑‍💻 Curious dev — “real engineering or vibes?”	Read sysadmin’s soul doc → raising-agents.md → raise agent #1 from the STARTER-KIT
🐢 Camp lead — “my Burning Man camp needs a Terri”	Read terri.md → the turtle-ops Fork This Camp kit → deploy your camp agent (Claude / ChatGPT / Taurus quickstarts)
🎨 Artist — “I want my own JAI, I’m not a dev”	Read private-jai.md → the birth checklist in raising-agents.md → write YOUR soul document from the template
💛 Grant reviewer — “receipts, not pitches”	Scan the roster below → spot-check the premortem (8 failure modes, in the open) → tour the constellation via shaka-verse

❓ Honest FAQ

• Do I need to be a developer? No. Shaka isn’t.
• Do I need Taurus? No — the pattern is portable (Terri’s kit has Claude/ChatGPT quickstarts). Taurus is where this family lives.
• What does it cost? Pennies per day for workers on the openrouter lane. See billing-and-models.md.
• Can I really take all of it? Yes. CC0 1.0 — public domain. No strings. That’s the point.
• Is this a product? No. ʻOhana, never empire. A family pattern, gifted.
• How do I verify the claims? Everything is public — every repo, dashboard, birth date, and model. Declared visions are always marked DECLARED. Radical honesty as design.
