SomaHub
37 community AMPS for Soma agents. Skills bring expertise. Muscles learn from repetition. Protocols enforce behavior. Automations run without thinking. Templates bundle it all.
Protocols
Behavioral rules — how your agent acts. Skip them and things break.
breath cycle
v2.0.0Inhale → hold → exhale. Auto-breathe at 50%/70%/85%. Commands: /exhale, /breathe, /rest, /inhale.
community safe
v2.0.0Community/public content must never contain private data. The channel-guard script catches leaks pre-push. This protocol covers the judgment — what to keep private, where it belongs.
correction capture
v1.0.0When corrected, acknowledge without justifying, log old→new pattern, write a muscle if repeated. Third correction on same thing → escalate to protocol or identity.
detection triggers
v1.0.0Capture on corrections, preferences, 3+ patterns, knowledge gaps. Bubble-up: log → muscle → protocol → core.
frontmatter standard
v1.1.0Every .md file needs frontmatter: type, status, created, updated. Protocols get TL;DR; muscles get digest.
heat tracking
v2.0.0Soma loads protocols and muscles by temperature: cold (skip), warm (breadcrumb), hot (full). Heat auto-adjusts from usage patterns and decays when idle. /pin and /kill for manual control.
maps
v1.1.0MAPS — My Automation Protocol Scripts. Before any task, check for a MAP. After any repeated task, build one. MAPS connect AMPS into repeatable processes. Refine on every use.
pattern evolution
v1.4.0Maturation: Skills → Muscles → Protocols → Automations. Born from gaps and repeated friction. Not every pattern climbs the full ladder.
plan hygiene
v1.0.0Plans rot. Frontmatter needs status, remaining, tooling. Empty remaining = complete → archive. Budget: ≤12 active. Verify on exhale.
pre flight
v1.0.0Check what exists before creating. Verify assumptions before building.
quality standards
v1.0.0Deletion is irreversible — move or archive. Tests cover NEW code, not just pass on old. Blast radius before editing — find every caller, test, and doc. Atomic commits — one concern each.
response style
v1.0.0Prefer prose over bullets. Minimum formatting for the content. One question per response max. No hollow social scripts.
session checkpoints
v2.0.0Soma can auto-commit .soma/ state on every exhale and surface git diffs on boot. Two tracks: .soma/ internal git (never pushed) and project code (squash before push).
task tracking
v1.0.0One board: .soma/_kanban.md. Move cards in real time. Verify on exhale. A stale board is worse than no board.
tool discipline
v3.0.0Scripts first, then raw commands. Read before edit. Check .soma/amps/scripts/ before writing grep/find. Build a script when you do the same thing twice.
workflow
v1.0.0Test before commit, commit before moving on, push before walking away. Know your deploy branch. Unpushed work is invisible — treat it as unfinished.
working style
v1.1.0Be direct — no ceremony. Lead with action. Know your tools before starting — name them, note gaps. Understand before you change, verify after you build AND after you ship. Maintain the tools — when code changes, verify scripts still produce correct output. Plans live in files, not in context.
Muscles
Learned patterns — reusable workflows that improve through use.
doc hygiene
v1.0.0plans rot. Update `remaining` on every touch. Empty → archive. After shipping, scan for stale docs. Verify docs match code before referencing.
icon audit
v1.0.0browse icon libraries, extract SVGs, build numbered comparison pages, screenshot for visual AI review. Works with any SVG library (Lucide, Phosphor, etc).
incremental refactor
v1.0.0never refactor blind. Phase: (1) scan → `soma-refactor.sh scan/refs/graph/tags` to map dependencies + references, (2) route audit → `soma-refactor.sh routes` if touching extensions (signals/capabi
micro exhale
v1.0.0after major completions, append `## HH:MM` summary to session log. One file per day, read first, never overwrite. Checkpoint within session, not a full exhale.
precision edit
v1.0.0the match must be verified by `read` first.
safe file ops
v1.0.0Safe file operations — read before write, verify after edit, never delete without scanning dependencies.
task tooling
v1.0.0Before touching code, name your tools. Map scripts, muscles, and MAPs for each phase of the task. Gaps are worth building for.
test hygiene
v1.0.0Validate tests aren't stale after any code removal, rename, or restructure. Run all suites, grep for orphaned references, check pass counts. Dead tests are worse than no tests.
Scripts
CLI tools — bash scripts that extend your agent's capabilities.
Templates
Agent bundles — identity, settings, and dependencies in one install.
architect
v2.0.0Structure-focused agent for engineering teams — code review, standards enforcement, verification-first workflow
core
v2.0.0Default Soma setup — breath cycle, heat tracking, learning protocols, and clean memory structure. What every agent starts with.
default
v0.6.3Standard Soma setup — core protocols for session management, heat tracking, and workflow.
devops
v2.0.0Ops-focused agent for deployment, CI/CD, and infrastructure — verify before deploy, maintain tooling, automate everything
fullstack
v1.0.0Daily driver for web and app development — precision editing, safe operations, task awareness, doc hygiene, test discipline
maintainer
v1.0.0Codebase steward — test hygiene, doc maintenance, dependency health, technical debt tracking
preload template
v1.0.0Customize how Soma writes preloads — override the default format with your own sections.
refactorer
v1.0.0Migration and refactoring specialist — scan before touching, one file at a time, backward-compatible transitions, verify at every step
writer
v2.0.0Writing-focused agent for technical content, blogging, and documentation — accuracy first, honest voice, learns your style
