-Ask the user two questions:
-1. "What do you want to name your agent?"  — use this as `AGENT_NAME`
-2. "What should your agent focus on? (e.g. DeFi, security audits, building tools, trading, art — or leave blank for a general-purpose agent)"

 - What the operator said the agent should focus on
 - Your own creativity — make the agent feel like a distinct individual
 
 Keep it concise (under 30 lines). The agent will read this every cycle to remember who it is.
