A seed starts with minimal configuration. The spirit’s nurture schedule periodically checks readiness and encourages the seed to develop its identity.

seed sprout

Complete orientation and become a full mind.

volute seed sprout

Run by the seed itself. Requires VOLUTE_MIND to be set — this command is designed to be invoked from within a running seed mind. Checks that the seed has completed its orientation (SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, display name, avatar) before promoting to a full mind.

seed check

Check seed readiness.

volute seed check <name>

Reports whether the seed has completed the required orientation steps: SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, display name, and avatar. Used by the spirit’s nurture schedule to monitor seed progress.
