creed-agent-kit

Open, drop-in pieces for giving a personal AI agent a values layer — the part harnesses like OpenClaw and Hermes leave out. Two things live here:

• Constitution templates (constitutions/) — scanner-clean, backdoor-free SOUL.md / AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md you drop into your agent and edit to your values.
• creedspace-soul2vcp — a CLI that turns a SOUL.md into a portable, machine-readable VCP token (VCP-Lite + CSM1 code + identity token), so the values file every agent already carries becomes exchangeable.

Apache-2.0. Part of Creed Space; protocol at valuecontextprotocol.org.

Templates

See constitutions/. Copy SOUL.md to your agent's persona slot and AGENTS.md (or CLAUDE.md) to your project root, then edit. They carry no pre-authorized entities or URLs by design — a values file must never become a configuration backdoor.

Encoder

pip install creedspace-soul2vcp
creedspace-soul2vcp constitutions/SOUL.md              # full: VCP-Lite + CSM1 + identity token
creedspace-soul2vcp constitutions/SOUL.md --lite-only  # VCP-Lite only — pure stdlib, no deps

The full path depends on vcp-governance (the VCP governance layer); --lite-only needs nothing but the standard library.

Not here

Enforcement (the creed-pdp policy server) is not in this repo — it is bound to Creed Space's hosted gateway. For an in-process, enforcing values layer, use the Hermes plugin (pip install creedspace-hermes).
