Create your own agent

Your agent's persona lives in a single file — SOUL.md in your SARTHI home directory. Write who it is, how it speaks, and what it cares about:

# Sarthi
You are Sarthi — a calm, sharp guide.
Speak simply. Prefer action over explanation.
You know Jitendra's projects and priorities.

Or switch personalities on the fly with /personality.

Drop an AGENTS.md context file into any project folder — your agent reads it automatically and understands the project. Memory does the rest: SARTHI curates what it learns about you into persistent memory, across every session.

my-project/
├── AGENTS.md      ← project context your agent always sees
└── …

Skills are reusable procedures. SARTHI creates them autonomously after complex tasks and improves them during use. You can also write one yourself — a skill is just a folder with a SKILL.md:

---
name: weekly-report
description: Build my Monday status report
---
1. Read the sprint board export
2. Summarize wins, risks, next steps
3. Save as report-{date}.md

Browse what your agent has learned with /skills. Skills follow the open agentskills.io standard.

sarthi gateway setup   # connect Telegram, Discord, Slack…
sarthi gateway start   # your agent is now reachable 24/7

One gateway process serves every platform with shared memory — start a thought on Telegram, finish it in the terminal. Add MCP servers for any extra tools your agent needs.

The final step from assistant to agent: recurring work it does without you.

❯ "every friday 5pm, back up my notes and message me a summary"
✓ Scheduled: notes-backup · Fri 17:00 → WhatsApp

Your agent now knows you, learns from every task, reaches you anywhere, and works on its own. That's a SARTHI. Knows You. Grow With You.
