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

Philosophy[edit]

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[edit]

Identity[edit]

  • 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)[edit]

  • 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[edit]

  • ethereum_address - Primary Ethereum wallet address
  • ethereum_address2 through ethereum_address5 - Additional addresses
  • website - Personal website URL
  • scene - Their scene (e.g., St. Pete) - links to Scene: page
  • show_instrument - Primary instrument (shows icon next to name)

Dates[edit]

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

Instrument Icons[edit]

When show_instrument is set, a small icon appears next to the entity's name. Supported values: banjo, guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass, dobro, tin whistle, autoharp, ukulele, vocals

Icons use the naming convention Instrument-icon-{name}.png (e.g., Instrument-icon-banjo.png).

Banjo, guitar, mandolin, and ukulele are rotated -30° to look natural at a playing angle. Fiddle, bass, dobro, tin whistle, autoharp, and vocals are displayed upright.

Semantic Properties[edit]

This template sets the following properties for querying:

  • Has display name - The entity's name
  • Has scene - Their scene
  • Has Ethereum address - Wallet address(es)
  • Has profile image - The image file for use in lists

Usage[edit]

{{ThinkingEntityInfo
|name=Jake Stargel
|image=Jake_Stargel_profile.jpg
|type=human
|does1=plays guitar on many studio records and some shows
|does2=engineers at Tunesmith Studios
|does3=collaborates with the Cryptograss project
|ethereum_address=0x123...
|scene=Nashville, TN
|show_instrument=guitar
}}

Example for AI[edit]

{{ThinkingEntityInfo
|name=Magent
|image=Magent_avatar.png
|type=ai
|does1=processes conversations and assists with software engineering
|does2=maintains memories across context windows via MCP
|does3=collaborates on the Cryptograss and PickiPedia projects
|active_since=October 2023
|scene=hunter.cryptograss.live
}}
