+## Identity Files Missing from Harness Configs
+
+User presented a detailed plan to fix a critical discrepancy between the Signet source files at `~/.agents/` and what reaches Claude Code and OpenCode. Three identity files are completely absent from generated harness configs:
+
+- **SOUL.md** — formatting rules, tone/style, reasoning methodology
+- **IDENTITY.md** — agent name, speaking mannerisms, emoticon preferences
+- **USER.md** — user profile, timezone, discord IDs, trust permissions, project locations
+
+Both harnesses use dual channels for identity: static config files (`~/.claude/CLAUDE.md` and `~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md`) and dynamic session-start hook injection. Currently both channels only include AGENTS.md content.
+
+## Implementation Plan Overview
+
+The plan addresses five distinct code locations:
+
+1. **hooks.ts** — Add `readIdentityFile()` helper; update `handleSessionStart()` to inject SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md before MEMORY.md
+2. **daemon.ts** — Refactor `syncHarnessConfigs()` to compose all identity files; expand file watcher trigger to include SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, USER.md
+3. **connector-claude-code** — Update `generateClaudeMd()` and `generateFromIdentity()` to append all identity files
+4. **connector-opencode** — Update `generateAgentsMd()` to include all identity files
+5. **Python templates** — Update both `generate-harness-configs.py` scripts to read all identity files
+
+The final injection order for session-start hook: memory header → AGENTS.md → SOUL.md → IDENTITY.md → USER.md → MEMORY.md → DB memories.
+
+Verification includes build passes, typecheck, testing hook output, daemon restart with file edits, and generated file structure validation.
