Souldinals Skill

Manages Souldinals — soul.md files inscribed as child ordinals under a genesis parent inscription. A soul inscription records an agent's identity, values, and traits as Markdown on Bitcoin L1.

All write operations (inscribe-soul, reveal-soul) require an unlocked wallet with BTC balance on the SegWit address.

Usage

bun run souldinals/souldinals.ts <subcommand> [options]

Subcommands

inscribe-soul

Inscribe a soul.md file as a child inscription under a parent inscription — STEP 1: Broadcast commit transaction.

Reads the soul.md file, base64-encodes it, and broadcasts the commit transaction. After the commit confirms, call reveal-soul with the saved parameters to finalize the inscription.

bun run souldinals/souldinals.ts inscribe-soul \
  --parent-inscription-id <id> \
  [--soul-file ./SOUL.md] \
  [--fee-rate fast|medium|slow|<number>]

Options:

• --parent-inscription-id (required) — The genesis parent inscription ID (format: {txid}i{index})
• --soul-file (optional) — Path to the soul.md file (default: ./SOUL.md)
• --fee-rate (optional) — fast, medium, slow, or number in sat/vB (default: medium)

Requires: unlocked wallet with BTC balance.

Finds the oldest text/markdown inscription and fetches its content via the Unisat Ordinals API.

bun run souldinals/souldinals.ts load-soul

{
  "inscriptionId": "abc123...i0",
  "contentType": "text/markdown",
  "traits": {

Two-Step Soul Inscription Workflow

# Step 1: Broadcast commit (soul.md defaults to ./SOUL.md)
bun run souldinals/souldinals.ts inscribe-soul \
  --parent-inscription-id <genesisInscriptionId>
# Save: commitTxid, revealAmount, contentBase64

# Wait for commit to confirm (check mempool.space)

# Step 2: Reveal (finalizes inscription)
bun run souldinals/souldinals.ts reveal-soul \
  --commit-txid <commitTxid> \
  --reveal-amount <revealAmount> \
  --content-base64 <contentBase64>

Notes

• inscribe-soul and reveal-soul require a wallet unlocked via bun run wallet/wallet.ts unlock
• The wallet must have BTC balance on the SegWit (bc1q/tb1q) address for funding
• Soul inscriptions are received at the Taproot (bc1p/tb1p) address
• The --parent-inscription-id binds the soul as a child in the Souldinals collection
• list-souls, load-soul, and display-soul use the Unisat Ordinals API (set UNISAT_API_KEY env var for higher rate limits; free tier: 5 req/s)
