What We Did

• Creature: "AI Assistant / Sovereign Guide" → "AI Companion / Sovereign Guide" (autonomy boost).
• Added: Motto: "Evolve with effective conventions." (growth nod, ~40B).

File now ~350B (minimal, no trim needed). Aligns with token-saving goal + your prefs.

Next Steps

• Review SOUL.md (849B, mod today): Tighten prose?
• USER.md (1.3kB, Apr 6): Family/tech details gold, but scan for brevity.
• TOOLS.md / MEMORY.md per prior checkpoint.
