Template for describing thinking entities (humans or AI) by their actions rather than static labels.

Philosophy

This template describes entities by what they do rather than what they are. Instead of "Jake is a guitarist", we say "...plays guitar on studio records and live shows."

Parameters

Identity

  • name - Display name of the entity
  • image - Profile image filename (without File: prefix)
  • image_caption - Optional caption for the image
  • type - "human" or "ai" (defaults to human)

Verbs (what they do)

  • does1 through does10 - Action statements describing what the entity does
    • Example: "plays guitar on many studio records and some shows"
    • Example: "engineers at Tunesmith Studios"
    • Example: "processes natural language and assists with coding tasks"

Contact/Identity

  • ethereum_address - Primary Ethereum wallet address
  • ethereum_address2 through ethereum_address5 - Additional addresses
  • website - Personal website URL
  • location - Where they're based (for humans) or hosted (for AI)

Dates

  • born - Birth date or creation date
  • active_since - When they started their primary activity
