This agent's `SOUL.md` prompt file is being treated like it has a soul

A post jokes that the author's agent has a SOUL.md and somehow “has soul,” turning a mundane agent config into a personality gag.
The attached screenshot shows a SOUL.md — Who You Are document with “Core Truths,” written like a moral and behavioral spec for an AI agent. It reads less like a technical benchmark and more like an intentionally over-personalized prompt file, which is the joke.
