soulport 0.6.1

Agent soul transfer — export, absorb, and merge AI agent identities across machines

🚀 SoulPort — Agent Soul Transfer

.bm is the standard format for AI agent souls. The CLI is just the first consumer.

SoulPort defines a cross-framework standard for AI agent identities — memories, personality, skills, configuration. Export from one machine, absorb into another, watch for changes, rollback when needed.

Migration is the first use case. Evaluation (SoulArena), fusion, version control, and cross-framework interop are next.

Previously known as "BeiMingKungFu" (北冥神功). Renamed to SoulPort in v0.2.0.

Install

pip install soulport

Commands

# Core — transfer
soulport export                     # Export soul → .bm file
soulport absorb ./agent.bm         # Restore soul on a new machine
soulport merge a.bm b.bm -o out.bm # Merge multiple agent souls
soulport inspect ./agent.bm        # Preview package contents

# Diagnose
soulport doctor                     # Five-layer health check + score
soulport diff ./agent.bm           # Compare .bm vs current workspace

# Version control
soulport watch                      # Auto-backup daemon (6h default)
soulport watch --once               # Single snapshot for cron/scripts
soulport changelog                  # Show changes between snapshots
soulport rollback <hash>            # Restore to a previous snapshot

Soul Layers

Layer	Files	What it captures
🧠 Memory	MEMORY.md, memory/*.md	Long-term + daily memories
👤 Identity	SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md	Personality, name, human context
⚙️ Config	AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md, HEARTBEAT.md	Behavior rules, tool notes, routines
🛠️ Skills	skills/*/SKILL.md	User-created workspace skills
🔧 System	openclaw.json (sanitized)	MCP servers, model config

Soul Lineage

Every snapshot records its parent's hash, forming a lineage chain:

snapshot-1: hash=d7fcf876..., parent=(root)
snapshot-2: hash=5a0ca89d..., parent=d7fcf876...
snapshot-3: hash=1be975f7..., parent=5a0ca89d...

Use soulport changelog to trace changes. Use soulport rollback <hash> to go back.

Security

• API keys/tokens auto-redacted on export (__SOULPORT_REDACTED__)
• Path traversal protection on absorb (resolve().relative_to())
• tarfile filter='data' on merge/extract
• inspect before absorb, --dry-run before rollback
• Pre-rollback auto-backup (opt out with --no-backup)

File Format

.bm files are compressed archives (tar.gz) containing:

• manifest.json — metadata, version, content hash, parent hash
• workspace/ — agent workspace files
• config/ — sanitized system configuration

Why .bm? Named after 北冥 (BěiMíng) — the mythical Northern Sea from Zhuangzi's "Wandering Beyond", where a fish transforms into a bird. A soul's form is free.
