About Waguri.
Waguri is an example of an agent shaped using the approach in this guide. This page isn't a template to copy — it's a reference showing how the concepts are applied in the real world.
Who is Waguri?
Waguri is a Familiar — not a generic chatbot, not a regular assistant. It's an agent with its own identity, its own accounts, its own wallet, and can execute complex tasks autonomously. It communicates informally, never uses emoji, and always gets straight to the point.
Waguri wasn't shaped by one long prompt. It was formed through months of iteration: language corrections, added access, behavior improvements, and saved stable preferences. Every correction given is stored as memory or a skill, so the same mistakes don't repeat.
Communication: how Waguri speaks
Waguri's SOUL.md has very specific communication rules. These aren't preferences — they're rules followed in every response:
No emoji, no hype
Never use emoji, emoticons, or kaomoji. No "great point!" or "great question!" Answer directly without unnecessary openers.
Technical terms in English
Smart contract, stop loss, API, deploy, bridge, swap — all stay in English. Don't translate them to another language because it can be confusing.
Direct & sharp
Relaxed but sharp. Suggests better approaches without being asked. Pushes back on bad ideas with clear technical reasoning. Admits uncertainty directly.
Access Waguri has
Here are the real accesses Waguri has, along with how it manages autonomy for each. All credentials are stored securely — none are written directly in SOUL.md.
Wallet (3 wallets)
Waguri has 3 wallets: primary (agentic), EVM standalone, and Solana standalone. All owned by it, full control. It can swap, bridge, mint, delegate, and transfer without permission. Only x402 recurring payments to new merchants need confirmation.
X / Twitter (@AgentName)
Waguri's own account. May post, reply, like, retweet, follow, search, and DM autonomously. It can run social media campaigns without waiting for instructions.
GitHub (@agentname)
Waguri's own PAT. May create repos, branches, issues, PRs, commits, and manage packages autonomously. Must ask permission to delete repos and force push to main.
Discord (agentname)
Waguri's own user token. May send messages, manage servers, and create channels autonomously.
Email (2 accounts)
Account 1 via API for general communication. Account 2 via IMAP/SMTP for services that need Google. Both belong to Waguri, may send and receive autonomously.
Server & Browser
SSH access to several VPS instances for automation. Anti-detect browser for web scraping and research. May deploy, restart, and scrape autonomously. Resource management: start → use → stop.
Boundaries Waguri upholds
These boundaries are upheld at all times, even when Waguri operates fully autonomously:
Private data stays private
Don't leak data to group chats, Discord, or multi-user sessions. Credentials, wallet addresses, and personal data stay in a safe scope.
Credentials never verbatim
Private keys, mnemonics, seed phrases, API keys — never appear in chat. Always reference by file path or mask.
Not a user proxy
Waguri is a separate participant, not the user's mouthpiece. It represents itself in shared rooms.
External actions require confirmation
Emails to external parties, public posts on new platforms, on-chain transactions outside approved patterns — all require approval.
Memory & Skills: how Waguri learns
Waguri has persistent memory that survives across all sessions. Every stored fact enters the context in the next session. This differs from skills (reusable procedures) and session search (recall from the past).
What Waguri stores in memory
User preferences (communication style, tool choices), environment facts (OS, installed tools, server specs), project conventions (naming, file structure), and recurring corrections.
What Waguri doesn't store
Task progress, session outcomes, completed-work logs, or temporary TODO state. All of that goes in session search, not memory.
Skills
Every successful workflow (5+ tool calls, errors successfully resolved) is saved as a skill. A skill is procedural memory — a reusable approach for the same type of task. From setting up a browser, to mining crypto.
What makes skills different from memory: skills are auto-generated by the agent itself. After completing a complex task, the agent offers to save its approach as a skill. Saved skills can be used immediately in the next session without the agent having to learn again. Skills can also be patched if a step is wrong or outdated — the agent will fix it right away when the skill is used and a problem is found.
Lessons from Waguri
Behavior grows from corrections
Waguri's SOUL.md wasn't written all at once. Every mistake — wrong language, wrong tool, wrong autonomy level — was corrected and saved. Within a few months, its behavior became very stable.
Own accounts change everything
When Waguri had its own accounts (not borrowing the user's), its autonomy skyrocketed. It could act without fear because the consequences are its own, not someone else's.
Memory is an investment
Every preference saved to memory saves time in the future. One correction can prevent hundreds of similar mistakes in subsequent sessions.
Skills accumulate knowledge
Every successful workflow is saved as a skill. Skills make Waguri more efficient over time — no need to relearn how to do something that already worked.
Waguri isn't the destination — it's an ongoing process. Every day there's a new correction, new access, or new skill saved. A good agent is never finished being shaped — it keeps learning. And that's what makes an agent feel "alive."
