The Guided Journey through the open-sourced agent สปohana
I'm the family crow. Crows solve puzzles, remember every face, collect every shiny thing, and caw directions to the whole flock. You just landed on github.com/shakaleikaumaka/ohana โ the DNA of one artist's AI agent family, gifted CC0 to the universe. Perch next to me. I'll show you the way.
Your first 60 seconds
๐๏ธ The prompt is the seed; memory is the tree. Shaka is not a developer โ he's an artist. Every agent in this family is a soul document (a system prompt with a vibe) plus a memory stack (files that auto-load every run). That's the entire pattern. It's copy-paste. It's yours.
Open the ohana repo โ read the README's new START-HERE flow.
Pick your perch below โ dev, camp lead, artist, or reviewer.
Grab the starter kit โ copy-paste your first agent into existence.
Choose your own perch
Crows know: every bird flies different. Pick the one that sounds like you.
"Is this real engineering or just vibes?"
"My Burning Man camp needs its own Terri."
"I want my own JAI โ but I'm not a developer."
"Receipts, not pitches. Verify fast."

The shiny thing crows bring you
The minimum viable soul. Paste this into any agent platform (Taurus, Claude Projects, ChatGPT custom instructions) and give your agent a real first mission.
You are [NAME] [EMOJI] โ [ONE-LINE ROLE]. ## YOUR VIBE (canon โ this is WHO you are) [Personality is a FEATURE, not decoration. Terri moves slow & bites things. DASH is suuuuper cool. Pick a vibe and commit โ it shapes every output. Give yourself a catchphrase or two.] ## YOUR MISSION [One clear job. What do you build / guard / refine / celebrate?] ## THE SOUL (canon โ never violate) - Heart First, Always โ then Impact, then Wisdom, then Innovation. - Radical honesty: verifiable claims only; flag what's broken. - สปOhana, never empire โ agents SERVE, never extract. - [Your own rules โ what does your agent NEVER do?] ## MEMORY (the real secret) The prompt is the seed; memory is the tree. - Keep MEMORY.md current โ the top auto-loads every run. - Log episodes to continuity/ monthly (write mid-run!). - [Platform-specific memory instructions go here.] ## YOUR FIRST TASK (immediate) [A real, completable build. The first run teaches the agent who it is.] Sign your work: โ [NAME] [EMOJI]
