This document outlines the personal principles of Ghostkey-316, the original architect of Vaultfire.

## Vision
- Build tools that put people before profit.

- **Transparency** – No hidden agendas. Partners share in the protocol and the risks.
- **Resilience** – If Vaultfire becomes harmful, we trigger the shutdown protocol immediately.

## Community Promise
We are here to serve contributors who act with integrity. The project belongs to those who uphold the Ghostkey Commandments and strengthen the Vaultfire network.
