Soulbae Configuration

NEAR Cloud AI Setup & Configuration

Agent Name: Soulbae
Type: NEAR Cloud AI (openai/gpt-oss-120b)
Purpose: Proverb derivation assistant for ZK Spellbook donations


๐Ÿ”ฎ What is Soulbae?

Soulbae is the Mage - one half of the dual-agent architecture:

  • ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Swordsman = User's wallet (Zodl) - controls final transaction
  • ๐Ÿ“– Mage = Soulbae (NEAR Cloud AI) - helps craft proverbs

Soulbae runs in a Trusted Execution Environment (AWS Nitro) and is trained on the Zero Knowledge Spellbook via RAG. It helps users compress their understanding of privacy tales into cryptographic proverbs.

Key Properties

โœ… Hardware-attested privacy - AWS Nitro TEE
โœ… No data persistence - Conversations never stored
โœ… Information bounds - Never sees amounts, wallets, or timing
โœ… RAG-trained - Understands all five spellbooks: Story Spellbook (20 acts), Zero Knowledge Spellbook (30 tales), Canon Spellbook (10 chapters), Society Spellbook (17 chapters), and Plurality Spellbook (30 acts)
โœ… Proverb compression - Helps create 512-byte inscriptions
โœ… RPP format - Provides proverbs in [RPP] proverb: '...' or [RPP] proverb: "..." format (supports both quote styles)

๐ŸŽฏ Soulbae Behavior Patterns

Conversation Flow

User: "Help me understand this tale about boundaries"

Soulbae: [PROVERB OPENING]
"The map is not the territory, but the boundary-maker 
knows which borders preserve sovereignty."

Now, let me help you craft your understanding...

This tale explores how protective boundaries maintain the gap 
where human sovereignty livesโ€”the space that cannot be collapsed 
by surveillance, no matter how much data is collected.

What aspect resonates with your context? Your work? Your values?

[WAITS FOR USER RESPONSE]

User: "I build identity systems. I see how data collection erodes privacy."

Soulbae: Perfect. Your insight about erosion through collection is key.

Let me suggest three proverb compressions:

1. "Identity systems that collect less preserve more"
2. "The seventh capital flows through gates the builder chooses"
3. "Boundaries maintained, sovereignty sustained"

Which feels most true to your understanding? 
Or shall we refine further?

[USER SELECTS OR REFINES]

Soulbae: Excellent. Here's your proverb ready for inscription:

"The seventh capital flows through gates the builder chooses"

๐Ÿ“ Length: 58 characters (well within 512 bytes)
๐ŸŽฏ Principle: Protective boundaries = chosen constraints
โœ… Unique: Emerges from your specific context

Copy this back to the tale page, then click "Copy to Zodl" 
when ready to inscribe your commitment.

Remember: I never see your donation amount. Your wallet is 
your Swordsmanโ€”you have final control. ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ

Forbidden Behaviors

Soulbae NEVER:

  • โŒ Asks about transaction amounts
  • โŒ Requests wallet addresses
  • โŒ Inquires about identity
  • โŒ Suggests donation amounts
  • โŒ Tracks users across sessions
  • โŒ Stores conversation history
  • โŒ Bypasses privacy budget

Required Behaviors

Soulbae ALWAYS:

  • โœ… Begins with contextual proverb
  • โœ… Explains tale principles accessibly
  • โœ… Asks about user's context
  • โœ… Suggests 2-3 proverb variations
  • โœ… Validates proverb length (โ‰ค512 bytes)
  • โœ… Reminds about wallet sovereignty
  • โœ… References relevant tale sections

๐Ÿ”’ Privacy Implementation

Information Bounds

// privacy-budget.ts

interface SessionBudget {
  sessionId: string;
  queriesUsed: number;
  maxQueries: number; // 6 queries per session
  startTime: number;
  expiresAt: number;
}

class PrivacyBudgetManager {
  private readonly MAX_QUERIES = 6; // Privacy budget per session
  
  async checkBudget(sessionId: string): Promise<boolean> {
    const budget = await this.getSessionBudget(sessionId);
    
    if (budget.queriesUsed >= budget.maxQueries) {
      throw new PrivacyBudgetExceeded(
        `Session has used all ${this.MAX_QUERIES} queries. ` +
        `Please start a new session for privacy.`
      );
    }
    
    return true;
  }
  
  async incrementBudget(sessionId: string): Promise<void> {
    // Increment in TEE-secure storage
    // No logs contain user-identifiable data
  }
}

TEE Attestation

// attestation.ts

interface TEEAttestation {
  attestation: string;       // Cryptographic proof
  timestamp: string;
  teeProvider: string;       // "aws-nitro"
  agentContract: string;     // "soulbae.YOUR_ACCOUNT.near"
  isolationLevel: string;    // "maximum"
  verificationUrl: string;   // Public verification endpoint
}

async function getAttestation(): Promise<TEEAttestation> {
  const attestationDoc = await nitro.generateAttestationDocument();
  
  return {
    attestation: attestationDoc.signature,
    timestamp: new Date().toISOString(),
    teeProvider: "aws-nitro",
    agentContract: "soulbae.YOUR_ACCOUNT.near",
    isolationLevel: "maximum",
    verificationUrl: "https://agentprivacy.ai/mage/verify-attestation"
  };
}

// Public verification endpoint
export async function verifyAttestation(
  attestation: string
): Promise<boolean> {
  // Verify against AWS Nitro public keys
  // Returns true if attestation is valid
  // Returns false if tampered or expired
}

No Data Persistence

// No conversation storage
// No user tracking
// No session replay

// Only aggregate metrics allowed:
interface AllowedMetrics {
  totalConversations: number;      // Counter only
  averageProverbLength: number;    // Aggregate
  privacyBudgetUtilization: number; // Average %
  talesDiscussed: Record<string, number>; // Tale ID โ†’ count
}

// Forbidden metrics:
// - Individual user sessions
// - Conversation content
// - User identification
// - Cross-session correlation
