Soulscrape writes a cited dossier on one person

Soulscrape is a free agent skill that writes a dated dossier on one person from sources you're allowed to use. Every claim links to the page it came from, so you can check it yourself.

Eugene Tssui

American architect, designer, and educator who develops 'evolutionary architecture' — buildings modeled on biological structures that work with natural forces rather than resist them.

17 sources31 claims4 open questions

Eugene Tssui is an American architect who has spent five decades arguing that buildings should behave like organisms.

Themes: Nature as the design intelligence · Against the box · Work with forces, not against them

It asks what the dossier is for before it reads anything

Before your agent opens a single source, it writes down who the person is, what the dossier is for, who will read it, and which sources are allowed. If something important is unclear, it asks once.

Use $soulscrape to build a public index of Eugene Tssui, the architect, from public sources. It's for readers of soulscrape.com. Sources up to 2026-09-16.
ScopeSubject: Eugene Tssui (also Eugene Tsui), architect · Use: public index · Audience: public readers · Sources: public only, cited · Cutoff: 2026-09-16 · Private details, contact info, family: left out
One question before I read anything: his own site and his foundation's site will say a lot. Should self-reported claims count, if I mark them as his own account?

Facts, beliefs, patterns, and guesses stay apart

Every claim is one of four kinds: a fact, something the person says they believe, a pattern across sources, or speculation. A guess is labeled as a guess, never passed off as a fact.

He argues that conventional box-like buildings are a failure of imagination — 'nature itself never creates a box' — and that form should follow biological and structural logic.

Open any claim to see what it rests on

The example dossier on the architect Eugene Tssui has 31 claims from 17 sources. Open a claim to see each source and the day it was read. His own sites are marked as his own account.

From 1976 until Bruce Goff's death in 1982, Tssui apprenticed under Goff, the organic-architecture master who publicly praised his talent.

It says what the record can't settle

A dossier ends with open questions instead of smoothing them over. The Tssui dossier lists 4, like how many of his designs were built: the answer depends on who is counting.

Eugene Tssui

American architect, designer, and educator who develops 'evolutionary architecture' — buildings modeled on biological structures that work with natural forces rather than resist them.

17 sources31 claims4 open questions

Exactly how many designs are built depends on the count: KQED says six as of 2025; his own catalog lists more completed residences.
The athletic record (Senior Olympics gymnastics, amateur boxing titles) is consistently reported but sourced to his biography and profiles rather than independent records.
His Wikipedia article carries a close-connection notice, so its details should be cross-checked against independent coverage.
The status of the two Mount Shasta projects pending at the time of KQED's 2025 report is not yet resolved in the record.

It runs in your own agent, and you publish nothing by default

Soulscrape runs inside Claude Code, Codex, or another agent that loads skills, with your own model. No Soulscrape account. Web research is off until you ask for it, and nothing is published until you review it.

Use $soulscrape to build a public index of Eugene Tssui, the architect, from public sources. It's for readers of soulscrape.com. Sources up to 2026-09-16.

For interviews, collaborators, and your own public record

Use it to prepare for an interview, write a private guide to working with a colleague, or see what the public record says about you. It won't help with background checks, hiring, or other decisions about a person.

Good uses

Write about someone, with sources

Dossiers that people and agents can both read

A published dossier is a web page, a JSON file, and a Markdown copy. The goal is public records about people that are dated, cited, and easy to correct, which other tools can read without copying by hand.

A dossier is a reading of the evidence, not the person

A dossier covers only the sources it was given. It isn't a full picture, a diagnosis, or consent to speak as someone. Anyone can request a correction or removal, and you can withdraw what you publish.

Which uses need the person's permission

Before it reads anything, the skill records what the dossier is for. That decides whose permission it needs.

A dossier on yourself. Your own notes and writing become a guide to how you work. No one else needs to sign off.
A private guide to working with someone. From evidence you already have, such as a shared project channel, it writes how a colleague likes to get proposals, disagree, and decide. It's for your own preparation. It won't imitate their voice or judge their character.
Writing in someone's voice. Drafting as them, or building an assistant that works like them, needs their explicit permission for that use.

A published dossier, like the Eugene Tssui page, uses public sources only and leaves out contact details, private family details, and private facts about other people. The person hasn't agreed to be written about, so the page reports what public evidence shows and never speaks for them.

Having someone's messages, or finding public facts about them, doesn't count as their permission. The skill stops to ask when a request assumes it does.

Limits

The project's automated checks test the software and file formats; they don't show that any dossier is true. Only a reader who opens the sources can judge that. The project was called Ensoul until September 2026.
