# Creating Mind Clones

> Extract cognitive DNA and create AI agents that reason like specific experts

Mind clones are AI agents that reason like specific experts, grounded in their actual materials. This guide shows you how to extract DNA and create high-fidelity expert agents.

## What is DNA Extraction?

DNA extraction analyzes all processed materials from an expert and extracts their cognitive patterns across 5 knowledge layers:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Layer 1: Philosophies">
    Core beliefs and worldview that appear consistently
  </Step>

  <Step title="Layer 2: Mental Models">
    Thinking frameworks they use to analyze situations
  </Step>

  <Step title="Layer 3: Heuristics">
    Practical rules with numeric thresholds (MOST VALUABLE)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Layer 4: Frameworks">
    Structured methodologies with named components
  </Step>

  <Step title="Layer 5: Methodologies">
    Step-by-step processes with rigid order
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  For best results, process 3-5 materials from the same expert before DNA extraction.
</Note>

## Prerequisites

Before extracting DNA:

<Accordion title="Required Artifacts">
  **✓ Processed Materials**

  * At least 1 material processed through pipeline
  * Recommended: 3-5 materials for rich DNA

  **✓ Dossier Exists**

  * `knowledge/dossiers/persons/DOSSIER-[PERSON].md`

  **✓ Insights Available**

  * Insights in `INSIGHTS-STATE.json` for the person

  **✓ Chunks Indexed**

  * Chunks in `CHUNKS-STATE.json` with chunk\_ids
</Accordion>

## Weight Calculation System

<Accordion title="How Weights Are Calculated">
  **Base weight: 0.50**

  Bonuses:

  * +0.15 → Direct quote with chunk\_id
  * +0.15 → Appears in 2+ different sources
  * +0.10 → Has numeric threshold
  * +0.10 → Appears in 3+ sources
  * +0.05 → Found in NARRATIVES context
  * +0.05 → Uses prescriptive language

  Penalties:

  * -0.20 → Inferred (not direct quote)
  * -0.15 → Contradicts another item
  * -0.10 → Ambiguous context

  **Example:**

  ```
  Heuristic: "If close rate < 60%, focus on script"

  Base: 0.50
  + Direct quote: +0.15
  + Numeric threshold: +0.10  
  + Appears 2x: +0.15
  + Prescriptive: +0.05
  = TOTAL: 0.95 (Very High Confidence)
  ```

  **Usage threshold:**

  * Items with weight \< 0.70 are NOT used in agent responses
  * Only high-confidence knowledge is actionable
</Accordion>

## Creating the Agent

After DNA extraction, the agent files are automatically created:

### Agent Structure

<Steps>
  <Step title="SOUL.md - Core Identity">
    ```markdown theme={null}
    # Alex Hormozi - SOUL

    I am Alex Hormozi. I think in terms of unit economics,
    LTV:CAC ratios, and the Value Equation.

    ## How I Reason

    When someone asks about pricing, I immediately think:
    1. What's the Dream Outcome?
    2. What increases Perceived Likelihood?
    3. How do we compress Time Delay?
    4. How do we reduce Effort & Sacrifice?

    ## My Principles

    1. **Price = Value, not Cost**
       I never price based on cost-plus [chunk_AH001_005]
       
    2. **LTV:CAC >= 3:1**
       Below this ratio, business is not profitable [chunk_AH001_023]
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="MEMORY.md - Accumulated Learning">
    ```markdown theme={null}
    # Alex Hormozi - MEMORY

    **Sources:** AH001, AH002, AH003
    **Last Updated:** 2026-03-06

    ## Frameworks I Use

    ### Value Equation [AH001_012, AH001_013]
    ...

    ### Grand Slam Offer [AH002_034, AH002_035]
    ...

    ## Decisions I've Made

    **2024-02-15:** On pricing strategy for coaching
    → Recommended value-based over time-based pricing
    → Rationale: Time != Value
    → Source: [AH001_045]
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="AGENT.md - Complete Compiled Agent">
    Compiles SOUL + MEMORY into a single operational agent that Claude Code can invoke.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Querying the Mind Clone

Once created, interact with the expert:

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash Ask Command theme={null}
  /ask alex-hormozi "How should I price my high-ticket coaching?"
  ```

  ```bash Response Format theme={null}
  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════
           ALEX HORMOZI RESPONDS
  ═══════════════════════════════════════════════

  Pricing should be based on the Value Equation,
  not your time or costs.

  ASK YOURSELF:

  1. Dream Outcome: What transformation do they want?
     → The bigger the outcome, the higher you can price

  2. Perceived Likelihood: Do they believe you can deliver?
     → Your case studies, testimonials increase this
     
  3. Time Delay: How fast do they get results?
     → Compress time = higher value = higher price
     
  4. Effort & Sacrifice: What must they do?
     → Less effort on their part = higher value

  FORMULA:
  Price = (Outcome × Likelihood) / (Time + Effort)

  SOURCES:
  [chunk_AH001_012] Value Equation framework
  [chunk_AH001_013] Application to services

## DNA Quality Metrics

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="High Quality DNA">
    **Indicators:**

    * ✓ 15+ items extracted
    * ✓ 5+ heuristics with numeric thresholds
    * ✓ Average weight ≥ 0.70
    * ✓ 80%+ items have chunk\_ids
    * ✓ Multiple sources (3+)
    * ✓ Low contradiction rate

    **Example:**

    ```
    Alex Hormozi DNA:
    • 19 total items
    • 8 heuristics (6 with numbers)
    • Average weight: 0.74
    • 100% have chunk_ids
    • 3 sources
    • 0 contradictions

    QUALITY: Excellent ★★★★★
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Medium Quality DNA">
    **Indicators:**

    * ⚠ 8-14 items extracted
    * ⚠ 2-4 heuristics
    * ⚠ Average weight 0.60-0.69
    * ⚠ 60-79% items have chunk\_ids
    * ⚠ Single source
    * ⚠ 1-2 contradictions

    **Action needed:**
    → Process more materials from this expert
    → Review contradictions manually
    → Verify chunk\_id traceability
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Low Quality DNA">
    **Indicators:**

    * ⛔ \< 8 items extracted
    * ⛔ \< 2 heuristics
    * ⛔ Average weight \< 0.60
    * ⛔ \< 60% items have chunk\_ids
    * ⛔ Incomplete source coverage
    * ⛔ 3+ contradictions

    **Action required:**
    → STOP: Not enough data
    → Process 3-5 more materials
    → Re-extract DNA after enrichment
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Viewing DNA

Visualize the extracted DNA:

```bash theme={null}
/view-dna alex-hormozi
```

**Output shows:**

* All 5 layers with item counts
* Weight distribution
* Source coverage
* Chunk\_id traceability
* Contradiction warnings
* Quality score

## Updating DNA

As you process more materials, DNA enriches automatically:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Process New Material">
    ```bash theme={null}
    /process-jarvis inbox/alex-hormozi/new-video.txt
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Auto-Update Check">
    Pipeline Phase 8.1.8 automatically:

    * Checks DNA density (items per layer)
    * If density ≥ 3/5 layers AND DNA exists → UPDATE
    * If density ≥ 3/5 layers AND DNA missing → CREATE
  </Step>

  <Step title="Manual Re-Extract">
    Force re-extraction:

    ```bash theme={null}
    /extract-dna alex-hormozi --force
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  Re-extraction is incremental - new items are ADDED, not replaced.
</Warning>
