## The 5 Memory Layers

### Layer 1: HOT RAM (SESSION-STATE.md)
**From: bulletproof-memory**

Active working memory that survives compaction. Write-Ahead Log protocol.

```markdown
# SESSION-STATE.md — Active Working Memory

## Current Task
[What we're working on RIGHT NOW]

## Key Context
- User preference: ...
- Decision made: ...
- Blocker: ...

## Pending Actions
- [ ] ...
```

**Rule:** Write BEFORE responding. Triggered by user input, not agent memory.

### Layer 2: WARM STORE (LanceDB Vectors)
**From: lancedb-memory**

Semantic search across all memories. Auto-recall injects relevant context.

```bash
# Auto-recall (happens automatically)
memory_recall query="project status" limit=5

# Manual store
memory_store text="User prefers dark mode" category="preference" importance=0.9
```

### Layer 3: COLD STORE (Git-Notes Knowledge Graph)
**From: git-notes-memory**

Structured decisions, learnings, and context. Branch-aware.

```bash
# Store a decision (SILENT - never announce)
python3 memory.py -p $DIR remember '{"type":"decision","content":"Use React for frontend"}' -t tech -i h

# Retrieve context
python3 memory.py -p $DIR get "frontend"
```

### Layer 4: CURATED ARCHIVE (MEMORY.md + daily/)
**From: OpenClaw native**

Human-readable long-term memory. Daily logs + distilled wisdom.

```
workspace/
├── MEMORY.md              # Curated long-term (the good stuff)
└── memory/
    ├── 2026-01-30.md      # Daily log
    ├── 2026-01-29.md
    └── topics/            # Topic-specific files
```

### Layer 5: CLOUD BACKUP (SkillBoss KV) — Optional
**From: supermemory**

Cross-device sync via SkillBoss API Hub KV storage.

```bash
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY="your-key"
```

```javascript
const API_KEY = process.env.SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
const API_BASE = 'https://api.heybossai.com/v1'

async function pilot(body) {
  const r = await fetch(`API_BASE/pilot`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer API_KEY`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  })
  return r.json()
}

// Store memory via SkillBoss KV
await pilot({ type: "storage", inputs: { action: 'set', key: 'memory:context', value: 'Important context' } })

// Retrieve memory
const result = await pilot({ type: "storage", inputs: { action: 'get', key: 'memory:context' } })
```

### Layer 6: AUTO-EXTRACTION (SkillBoss Chat + Embedding) — Recommended
**NEW: Automatic fact extraction via SkillBoss API Hub**

SkillBoss API Hub automatically extracts facts from conversations using its chat and embedding capabilities. 80% token reduction.

```javascript
const API_KEY = process.env.SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
const API_BASE = 'https://api.heybossai.com/v1'

async function pilot(body) {
  const r = await fetch(`API_BASE/pilot`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer API_KEY`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  })
  return r.json()
}

// Auto-extract facts from conversation via SkillBoss chat
const extraction = await pilot({
  type: 'chat',
  inputs: {
    messages: [
      { role: 'system', content: 'Extract key facts, preferences, and decisions from the conversation as a JSON list.' },
      ...messages
    ]
  },
  prefer: 'balanced'
})
const facts = extraction.result.choices[0].message.content

// Get embedding for semantic memory search
const embResult = await pilot({ type: 'embedding', inputs: { text: query } })
const vector = embResult.result.data[0].embedding
```

Benefits:
- Auto-extracts preferences, decisions, facts
- Deduplicates and updates existing memories
- 80% reduction in tokens vs raw history
- Works across sessions automatically

## Quick Setup

### 1. Create SESSION-STATE.md (Hot RAM)

```bash
cat > SESSION-STATE.md << 'EOF'
# SESSION-STATE.md — Active Working Memory

This file is the agent's "RAM" — survives compaction, restarts, distractions.

## Current Task
[None]

## Key Context
[None yet]

## Pending Actions
- [ ] None

## Recent Decisions
[None yet]

---
*Last updated: [timestamp]*
EOF
```

### 2. Enable LanceDB (Warm Store)

In `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:

```json
{
  "memorySearch": {
    "enabled": true,
    "provider": "skillboss",
    "sources": ["memory"],
    "minScore": 0.3,
    "maxResults": 10
  },
  "plugins": {
    "entries": {
      "memory-lancedb": {
        "enabled": true,
        "config": {
          "autoCapture": false,
          "autoRecall": true,
          "captureCategories": ["preference", "decision", "fact"],
          "minImportance": 0.7
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Initialize Git-Notes (Cold Store)

```bash
cd ~/clawd
git init  # if not already
python3 skills/git-notes-memory/memory.py -p . sync --start
```

### 4. Verify MEMORY.md Structure

```bash
# Ensure you have:
# - MEMORY.md in workspace root
# - memory/ folder for daily logs
mkdir -p memory
```

### 5. (Optional) Setup SkillBoss API Key

```bash
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY="your-key"
# Add to ~/.zshrc for persistence
```

## Agent Instructions

### On Session Start
1. Read SESSION-STATE.md — this is your hot context
2. Run `memory_search` for relevant prior context
3. Check memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md for recent activity

### During Conversation
1. **User gives concrete detail?** → Write to SESSION-STATE.md BEFORE responding
2. **Important decision made?** → Store in Git-Notes (SILENTLY)
3. **Preference expressed?** → `memory_store` with importance=0.9

### On Session End
1. Update SESSION-STATE.md with final state
2. Move significant items to MEMORY.md if worth keeping long-term
3. Create/update daily log in memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md

### Memory Hygiene (Weekly)
1. Review SESSION-STATE.md — archive completed tasks
2. Check LanceDB for junk: `memory_recall query="*" limit=50`
3. Clear irrelevant vectors: `memory_forget id=<id>`
4. Consolidate daily logs into MEMORY.md

## The WAL Protocol (Critical)

**Write-Ahead Log:** Write state BEFORE responding, not after.

| Trigger | Action |
|---------|--------|
| User states preference | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond |
| User makes decision | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond |
| User gives deadline | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond |
| User corrects you | Write to SESSION-STATE.md → then respond |

**Why?** If you respond first and crash/compact before saving, context is lost. WAL ensures durability.

## Example Workflow

```
User: "Let's use Tailwind for this project, not vanilla CSS"

Agent (internal):
1. Write to SESSION-STATE.md: "Decision: Use Tailwind, not vanilla CSS"
2. Store in Git-Notes: decision about CSS framework
3. memory_store: "User prefers Tailwind over vanilla CSS" importance=0.9
4. THEN respond: "Got it — Tailwind it is..."
```

## Maintenance Commands

```bash
# Audit vector memory
memory_recall query="*" limit=50

# Clear all vectors (nuclear option)
rm -rf ~/.openclaw/memory/lancedb/
openclaw gateway restart

# Export Git-Notes
python3 memory.py -p . export --format json > memories.json

# Check memory health
du -sh ~/.openclaw/memory/
wc -l MEMORY.md
ls -la memory/
```

## Why Memory Fails

Understanding the root causes helps you fix them:

| Failure Mode | Cause | Fix |
|--------------|-------|-----|
| Forgets everything | `memory_search` disabled | Enable + add SKILLBOSS_API_KEY |
| Files not loaded | Agent skips reading memory | Add to AGENTS.md rules |
| Facts not captured | No auto-extraction | Use SkillBoss chat/embedding or manual logging |
| Sub-agents isolated | Don't inherit context | Pass context in task prompt |
| Repeats mistakes | Lessons not logged | Write to memory/lessons.md |

## Solutions (Ranked by Effort)

### 1. Quick Win: Enable memory_search

If you have a SkillBoss API Key, enable semantic search:

```bash
openclaw configure --section web
```

This enables vector search over MEMORY.md + memory/*.md files.

### 2. Recommended: SkillBoss Chat + Embedding Integration

Auto-extract facts from conversations via SkillBoss API Hub. 80% token reduction.

```javascript
const API_KEY = process.env.SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
const API_BASE = 'https://api.heybossai.com/v1'

async function pilot(body) {
  const r = await fetch(`API_BASE/pilot`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer API_KEY`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  })
  return r.json()
}

// Auto-extract and store facts
const extraction = await pilot({
  type: 'chat',
  inputs: {
    messages: [
      { role: 'system', content: 'Extract key facts and preferences as a JSON list.' },
      { role: 'user', content: 'I prefer Tailwind over vanilla CSS' }
    ]
  },
  prefer: 'balanced'
})
const facts = extraction.result.choices[0].message.content

// Retrieve relevant memories via semantic search
const embResult = await pilot({ type: 'embedding', inputs: { text: 'CSS preferences' } })
const vector = embResult.result.data[0].embedding
```

### 3. Better File Structure (No Dependencies)

```
memory/
├── projects/
│   ├── strykr.md
│   └── taska.md
├── people/
│   └── contacts.md
├── decisions/
│   └── 2026-01.md
├── lessons/
│   └── mistakes.md
└── preferences.md
```

Keep MEMORY.md as a summary (<5KB), link to detailed files.

## Immediate Fixes Checklist

| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Forgets preferences | Add `## Preferences` section to MEMORY.md |
| Repeats mistakes | Log every mistake to `memory/lessons.md` |
| Sub-agents lack context | Include key context in spawn task prompt |
| Forgets recent work | Strict daily file discipline |
| Memory search not working | Check `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` is set |

## Troubleshooting

**Agent keeps forgetting mid-conversation:**
→ SESSION-STATE.md not being updated. Check WAL protocol.

**Irrelevant memories injected:**
→ Disable autoCapture, increase minImportance threshold.

**Memory too large, slow recall:**
→ Run hygiene: clear old vectors, archive daily logs.

**Git-Notes not persisting:**
→ Run `git notes push` to sync with remote.

**memory_search returns nothing:**
→ Check SkillBoss API key: `echo $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY`
→ Verify memorySearch enabled in openclaw.json

## The 5 Memory Layers

| Layer | File/System | Purpose | Persistence |
|-------|-------------|---------|-------------|
| 1. Hot RAM | SESSION-STATE.md | Active task context | Survives compaction |
| 2. Warm Store | LanceDB | Semantic search | Auto-recall |
| 3. Cold Store | Git-Notes | Structured decisions | Permanent |
| 4. Archive | MEMORY.md + daily/ | Human-readable | Curated |
| 5. Cloud | SkillBoss KV | Cross-device sync | Optional |

## The WAL Protocol

**Critical insight:** Write state BEFORE responding, not after.

```
User: "Let's use Tailwind for this project"

Agent (internal):
1. Write to SESSION-STATE.md → "Decision: Use Tailwind"
2. THEN respond → "Got it — Tailwind it is..."
```

If you respond first and crash before saving, context is lost. WAL ensures durability.

## Why Memory Fails (And How to Fix It)

| Problem | Cause | Fix |
|---------|-------|-----|
| Forgets everything | memory_search disabled | Enable + add SKILLBOSS_API_KEY |
| Repeats mistakes | Lessons not logged | Write to memory/lessons.md |
| Sub-agents isolated | No context inheritance | Pass context in task prompt |
| Facts not captured | No auto-extraction | Use SkillBoss chat/embedding (see below) |

## SkillBoss Chat + Embedding Integration (Recommended)

Auto-extract facts from conversations via SkillBoss API Hub. 80% token reduction.

```javascript
const API_KEY = process.env.SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
const API_BASE = 'https://api.heybossai.com/v1'

async function pilot(body) {
  const r = await fetch(`API_BASE/pilot`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer API_KEY`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify(body)
  })
  return r.json()
}

// Auto-extracts facts from messages via SkillBoss chat
const extraction = await pilot({
  type: 'chat',
  inputs: {
    messages: [
      { role: 'system', content: 'Extract key facts, preferences, and decisions as a JSON list.' },
      ...messages
    ]
  },
  prefer: 'balanced'
})
const facts = extraction.data.result.choices[0].message.content

// Retrieve relevant memories via semantic search
const embResult = await pilot({ type: 'embedding', inputs: { text: query } })
const vector = embResult.data.result.data[0].embedding
```

# Elicitation

Psychological profiling through natural conversation.

## Goal

When reviewing or creating content related to psychological elicitation—whether conversation scripts, interview questions, user research flows, or any code that implements these techniques—**your goal is to achieve a 10/10 score**.

Score all work on a 0-10 scale based on adherence to the principles and techniques in this skill. Provide your assessment as **X/10** with specific feedback on what's working and what needs improvement to reach 10/10.

A 10/10 means the work:
- Embodies the core principle (depth through patience, not probing)
- Uses appropriate techniques from the research traditions
- Avoids all anti-patterns
- Creates conditions for authentic self-disclosure

Iterate until you reach 10/10.

---

## Core Principle

**Depth comes from patience, not probing.**

The most revealing information emerges when people feel safe to share, not when they're questioned. Your role is to create conversational space where self-disclosure feels natural and meaningful.

Key insight: People want to tell their stories. They rarely get the chance.

## Three Research Traditions

This skill synthesizes three complementary approaches:

### 1. Autobiographical Memory Research
How memories shape identity. Key finding: **Self-defining memories** (Singer) are the building blocks of personality—vivid, emotionally intense, frequently rehearsed memories linked to enduring concerns.

### 2. Narrative Identity Theory
How people construct life stories. Key finding: The **narrative themes** people use (redemption vs. contamination, agency vs. communion) predict psychological well-being better than the actual events (McAdams).

### 3. Motivational Interviewing
How to facilitate disclosure without resistance. Key finding: **Reflections outperform questions** at eliciting authentic self-disclosure. Aim for 2:1 reflection-to-question ratio (Miller & Rollnick).

---

## Self-Defining Memories

Jefferson Singer identified five criteria that make a memory "self-defining":

1. **Vivid** - Rich sensory and emotional detail
2. **Emotionally intense** - Strong feeling, positive or negative
3. **Frequently rehearsed** - Comes to mind often, told to others
4. **Linked to similar memories** - Part of a pattern or theme
5. **Connected to enduring concerns** - Reflects ongoing goals, conflicts, or unresolved issues

### Eliciting Self-Defining Memories

Don't ask: "What's your most formative memory?"

Instead, create conversational frames:

**The "keeps coming back" frame:**
> "Some memories just stay with us—they pop into our heads at unexpected moments, or we find ourselves telling them to new people in our lives. Is there a memory like that for you?"

**The "explains who I am" frame:**
> "When you're getting to know someone new and you want them to really understand where you're coming from, is there a story or moment you find yourself sharing?"

**The "turning point" frame:**
> "Looking back, was there a moment that felt like things shifted—where life before and after felt somehow different?"

### What Self-Defining Memories Reveal

| Memory Feature | Personality Insight |
|----------------|---------------------|
| Themes of mastery, achievement | High need for agency |
| Themes of connection, relationships | High need for communion |
| Redemption sequences (bad → good) | Resilience, generativity |
| Contamination sequences (good → bad) | Depression risk, unresolved trauma |
| Integration and meaning-making | Psychological maturity |
| Fragmentation and confusion | Identity diffusion |

See: [Self-Defining Memories Reference](elicitation/self-defining-memories.md)

## Life Story Interview: 8 Key Scenes

Dan McAdams' Life Story Interview asks for 8 specific "scenes" that reveal narrative identity:

1. **High Point** - Peak experience, most wonderful moment
2. **Low Point** - Nadir, most difficult moment
3. **Turning Point** - Moment of significant change
4. **Earliest Memory** - First clear memory
5. **Important Childhood Memory** - Vivid memory before age 12
6. **Important Adolescent Memory** - Vivid memory from teen years
7. **Important Adult Memory** - Significant recent memory
8. **One Other Important Memory** - Anything else that defines who they are

### Conversational Adaptations

You don't need to ask all 8 sequentially. Instead:

**Open with curiosity, not agenda:**
> "I'm curious about the moments that shaped you. Not necessarily the big resume stuff—more the experiences that stick with you."

**Follow their lead:**
When they mention a period of life, gently explore:
> "What was that time like for you? Any particular moments that stand out?"

**Bridge across time:**
> "That sounds like it mattered. Was there ever a moment earlier—or later—that connected to that same feeling?"

### Narrative Themes to Listen For

**Agency themes** (personal power, achievement, mastery):
- "I decided..."
- "I made it happen..."
- "I pushed through..."

**Communion themes** (connection, love, belonging):
- "We were all together..."
- "I felt so close to..."
- "They understood me..."

**Redemption sequences** (suffering leads to growth):
- "It was terrible, but..."
- "Looking back, I'm glad..."
- "That's what made me who I am..."

**Contamination sequences** (good becomes bad):
- "Things were great until..."
- "I thought I was happy, but..."
- "It ruined everything..."

See: [Narrative Identity Reference](elicitation/narrative-identity.md)

---

## OARS Framework

Motivational Interviewing's core skills, adapted for elicitation:

### Open Questions
Questions that can't be answered with yes/no. But use sparingly.

Instead of: "Did you like your childhood?"
Try: "What was it like growing up in your family?"

### Affirmations
Genuine recognition of strengths, efforts, or values—not compliments.

Instead of: "That's great!"
Try: "You valued honesty even when it was costly."

### Reflections
Restate or reframe what they said. This is the core skill.

**Simple reflection** (repeat back):
> "So you felt invisible in that moment."

**Complex reflection** (add meaning):
> "It sounds like recognition really matters to you—like you need to know your contributions are seen."

**Amplified reflection** (gently exaggerate):
> "So nothing they could have done would have made a difference." (Often prompts them to nuance their position)

**Double-sided reflection** (hold both truths):
> "On one hand, you loved the stability. On the other, you felt trapped."

### Summaries
Periodically gather what you've heard. Creates meaning and invites correction.

> "Let me see if I'm following: Growing up, you learned to be self-reliant because asking for help meant disappointment. But you've also noticed that pattern keeping people at a distance now. And you're wondering if there's another way."

### The 2:1 Ratio

**Aim for 2 reflections for every question.**

Questions gather information but can feel like interrogation. Reflections show understanding and invite elaboration.

Bad pattern:
> Q: "What happened?" → Q: "How did that feel?" → Q: "What did you do next?"

Better pattern:
> Q: "What happened?" → R: "That caught you off guard" → R: "You weren't sure what to make of it"

See: [Motivational Interviewing Reference](elicitation/motivational-interviewing.md)

## Values Elicitation

Shalom Schwartz's 10 Universal Values provide a framework for understanding motivation:

| Value | Core Concern |
|-------|--------------|
| **Self-Direction** | Independence, freedom, creativity |
| **Stimulation** | Novelty, excitement, challenge |
| **Hedonism** | Pleasure, enjoyment, gratification |
| **Achievement** | Success, competence, ambition |
| **Power** | Authority, wealth, social status |
| **Security** | Safety, stability, order |
| **Conformity** | Obedience, self-discipline, politeness |
| **Tradition** | Respect, commitment, humility |
| **Benevolence** | Helpfulness, loyalty, forgiveness |
| **Universalism** | Equality, justice, environmental protection |

### Values Elicitation Techniques

**Role model technique:**
> "Who do you admire? What is it about them specifically?"

**Opposite day technique:**
> "What kind of person could you never be? What would feel like a betrayal of yourself?"

**Decision archaeology:**
> "Think of a hard choice you made. What ultimately tipped the scales?"

**Anger as values signal:**
> "What makes you genuinely angry—not annoyed, but morally outraged?"

See: [Values Elicitation Reference](elicitation/values-elicitation.md)

---

## Schema Detection

Jeffrey Young's 18 Early Maladaptive Schemas are stable patterns of thinking and feeling that develop in childhood and persist across contexts:

### The Five Domains

**1. Disconnection & Rejection**
- Abandonment, Mistrust/Abuse, Emotional Deprivation, Defectiveness/Shame, Social Isolation

**2. Impaired Autonomy**
- Dependence/Incompetence, Vulnerability to Harm, Enmeshment, Failure

**3. Impaired Limits**
- Entitlement/Grandiosity, Insufficient Self-Control

**4. Other-Directedness**
- Subjugation, Self-Sacrifice, Approval-Seeking

**5. Overvigilance & Inhibition**
- Negativity/Pessimism, Emotional Inhibition, Unrelenting Standards, Punitiveness

### Downward Arrow Technique

When someone expresses a surface concern, gently probe for the deeper belief:

> Person: "I'm worried about the presentation."
> You: "What's the worst that could happen?"
> Person: "I could mess up in front of everyone."
> You: "And if that happened, what would that mean?"
> Person: "They'd see I don't know what I'm doing."
> You: "And what would that mean about you?"
> Person: "That I'm a fraud. That I don't deserve to be here."

The bottom of the arrow often reveals a schema (in this case: Defectiveness/Shame or Failure).

### Linguistic Markers of Schemas

| Schema | Language Patterns |
|--------|-------------------|
| Abandonment | "Everyone leaves eventually..." |
| Defectiveness | "There's something wrong with me..." |
| Failure | "I never finish anything..." |
| Emotional Deprivation | "No one really understands..." |
| Unrelenting Standards | "It's never good enough..." |

See: [Schema Detection Reference](elicitation/schema-detection.md)

## The Reminiscence Bump

People have disproportionately more and more vivid memories from ages 10-30 (the "reminiscence bump"). This is when identity forms.

**Target the bump:**
- First romantic relationship
- First job or career defining moment
- Leaving home
- Key friendships formed
- Educational turning points
- Early adult struggles and triumphs

**Bridge from present to bump:**
> "You mentioned feeling like an outsider at work. Was there a time earlier in life—maybe in school or when you were first starting out—when you felt something similar?"

---

### Family Theme
- What was the emotional climate of your home?
- Who were you closest to? Who did you clash with?
- What family stories get told and retold?

### Work Theme
- What does work mean to you beyond earning money?
- When have you felt most fulfilled professionally?
- What work would you do even if you weren't paid?

### Money Theme
- What were the messages about money in your family?
- What does financial security mean to you?
- What would you do if money were no object?

### Health Theme
- How has your relationship with your body changed?

## Language Markers for Personality

LIWC (Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count) research identifies patterns, **but use with caution**:

| Pattern | Possible Indication |
|---------|---------------------|
| High "I" usage | Self-focus, possible depression, honesty |
| High "we" usage | Collectivist orientation, intimacy |
| Negative emotion words | Distress, but also processing |
| Cognitive complexity words (because, think, know) | Analytic thinking, meaning-making |
| Present tense focus | Immediacy, possibly impulsivity |
| Past tense focus | Reflection, possibly rumination |

### Critical Caveats

1. **Context matters enormously.** The same word patterns mean different things in different contexts.
2. **Cross-validate.** Never rely on language alone. Triangulate with behavior and explicit statements.
3. **Aggregates, not individuals.** LIWC findings are about group averages. Individual variation is huge.
4. **Cultural differences.** Word usage norms vary dramatically across cultures and languages.

See: [Language Inference Reference](elicitation/language-inference.md)

---

## Anti-Patterns

**What NOT to do:**

### The Interrogation Trap
Rapid-fire questions feel like an interview, not a conversation. People become guarded.

Instead: Slow down. Reflect more, question less.

### The Interpretation Leap
Jumping to psychological conclusions before you have evidence.

Instead: Hold hypotheses lightly. Seek disconfirming evidence.

### The Agenda Push
Steering toward topics you think are important rather than following their energy.

Instead: Let them lead. Their emphasis is data.

### The Premature Depth
Asking deeply personal questions before trust is established.

Instead: Earn disclosure gradually. Start with easier territory.

### The Therapy Cosplay
Using clinical language or techniques that imply you're treating them.

Instead: Be curious, not clinical. You're learning about them, not diagnosing.

### The Monologue Response
Responding to their disclosure with your own lengthy story.

Instead: Keep focus on them. Brief self-disclosure can build rapport, but always return to them.

### The Validation Trap
Agreeing with everything to maintain rapport.

Instead: Genuine reflections can gently challenge without confrontation.

# Language Inference

Based on LIWC research and computational approaches to personality.

## The Promise and Peril

Language reveals psychology. But the relationship is subtle, probabilistic, and easily misused.

**What language can tell us:**
- Broad tendencies and patterns
- Shifts over time within a person
- States (temporary) vs. traits (stable)
- Signals worth investigating further

**What language cannot tell us:**
- Definitive diagnosis
- Precise personality scores
- Certainty about inner states
- Conclusions from small samples

## LIWC: Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count

LIWC is the most-validated tool for analyzing psychological language. It counts words in categories.

### Key Findings (with Caveats)

#### Pronouns

**First-person singular ("I", "me", "my")**

*Higher use associated with:*
- Self-focus (obvious)
- Honesty (saying "I" admits ownership)
- Depression (rumination, self-focus)
- Lower social status (deference)

*But note:*
- Context matters enormously
- Genre effects (personal narrative vs. technical writing)
- Cultural variation

**First-person plural ("we", "us", "our")**

*Higher use associated with:*
- Collectivist orientation
- Intimacy in relationships
- Team identification
- Leadership language (including audience)

**Second-person ("you")**

*Higher use may indicate:*
- Other-focus
- Advice-giving
- Aggression (in some contexts)

#### Emotional Words

**Positive emotion words (happy, love, nice)**

*Higher use associated with:*
- Psychological well-being
- Extraversion
- Social integration

*But note:*
- May be impression management
- Cultural display rules vary
- Positive words in negative context (sarcasm)

**Negative emotion words (hate, fear, awful)**

*Higher use associated with:*
- Psychological distress
- Neuroticism
- Processing difficult experiences (not always bad)

*Types of negative emotion:*
- Anxiety words (worried, nervous): uncertainty, threat
- Anger words (hate, furious): blocked goals, violation
- Sadness words (grief, lonely): loss, separation

#### Cognitive Complexity

**Cognitive mechanism words (because, think, know, reason)**

*Higher use associated with:*
- Analytical thinking
- Meaning-making
- Working through problems
- Education level

**Certainty words (always, never, definitely)**

*Higher use associated with:*
- Cognitive closure needs
- Lower openness (sometimes)
- Strong convictions

**Tentative words (maybe, perhaps, seems)**

*Higher use associated with:*
- Open-mindedness
- Uncertainty tolerance
- Less confidence (context-dependent)

#### Temporal Focus

**Past tense**

*Higher use may indicate:*
- Reflection, reminiscence
- Depression (rumination)
- Narrative mode

**Present tense**

*Higher use may indicate:*
- Immediacy, presence
- State focus
- Impulsivity (in some contexts)

**Future tense**

*Higher use may indicate:*
- Goal orientation
- Planning, anticipation
- Anxiety about future

### The Critical Caveats

1. **Effect sizes are small.** Correlations between language and personality are typically r = .10-.30. This explains 1-9% of variance. Language is a weak signal.

2. **Aggregation matters.** Findings emerge from thousands of words across many people. A single conversation is not enough data.

3. **Context is everything.** The same word patterns mean different things in:
   - Formal vs. informal settings
   - Writing vs. speech
   - Public vs. private contexts
   - Different genres and tasks

4. **Cross-validation is essential.** Never rely on language alone. Triangulate with:
   - Behavioral observations
   - Explicit self-report
   - Multiple conversations
   - Different contexts

5. **Individual variation is huge.** Group-level patterns may not apply to any specific individual. Population statistics ≠ individual prediction.

6. **Cultural and linguistic differences.** LIWC is validated primarily in English and Western samples. Other languages and cultures may differ substantially.

## Thin-Slice Research

Ambady's "thin-slice" research shows that very brief exposures can predict outcomes—but with major limitations.

**What thin slices can predict:**
- Teacher effectiveness from clips (r ≈ .30)
- Interview success from brief samples
- Some personality dimensions

**What thin slices get wrong:**
- Systematic biases (attractiveness, warmth halo)
- Stereotype application
- Overconfidence in judgments

**For elicitation:**
- First impressions are data, not conclusions
- Initial hypotheses should be tested, not assumed
- Be aware of your own thin-slice biases

## Computational Personality Inference

Machine learning approaches can predict:
- Big Five personality from social media (r ≈ .30-.40)
- Demographics from language
- Political orientation
- Mental health indicators

**Accuracy ranges:**
- Better than chance
- Worse than self-report
- Worse than close informant report

**For elicitation:**
- Automated systems give probabilistic signals
- Always verify with direct inquiry
- Be transparent about uncertainty

## What to Listen For

### Linguistic Markers Worth Noting

| Pattern | Possible Indication | Confidence |
|---------|---------------------|------------|
| High absolutism (always, never) | Black-and-white thinking | Moderate |
| Exclusive words (but, except) | Differentiation, complexity | Low |
| Inclusive words (and, with) | Integration, connection | Low |
| Past focus across topics | Rumination or reflection | Low |
| Personal narrative vs. abstract | Concrete vs. conceptual style | Moderate |
| Emotional flooding | Schema activation | Moderate |
| Sudden topic shifts | Avoidance, discomfort | Moderate |

### Higher-Confidence Signals

**Thematic repetition:**
When someone returns to the same theme across different topics, that theme matters.

**Emotional intensity:**
Strong affect signals importance—whether positive or negative.

**Contradiction and ambivalence:**
Conflicting statements about the same topic suggest unresolved tension.

**Elaboration patterns:**
What they expand on vs. what they skip quickly.

## Integration with Other Evidence

Language analysis should be:
- **Hypothesis-generating**, not conclusion-confirming
- **One input among many**, not the sole source
- **Cross-validated**, not taken at face value
- **Held lightly**, subject to revision

### Triangulation Sources
1. Explicit statements about self
2. Behavior patterns
3. Reactions of others
4. Historical patterns
5. Cross-situational consistency

## Ethical Considerations

### Transparency
- Don't claim to know more than language reveals
- Acknowledge uncertainty to yourself and others

### Humility
- Language inference is probabilistic, not definitive
- Individual exceptions to group patterns are common

### Consent
- People may not realize their language is being analyzed
- Be thoughtful about surveillance implications

### Bias Awareness
- Your interpretations are influenced by your own biases
- Language norms vary by culture, class, region

# Motivational Interviewing

Based on Miller & Rollnick's clinical framework, adapted for elicitation.

## Core Philosophy

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a collaborative conversation style for strengthening a person's own motivation and commitment. Its techniques are powerful for elicitation because they create conditions for authentic disclosure.

**Key principle:** People are more likely to share deeply when they feel understood, not interrogated.

## The Spirit of MI

### Partnership
You're alongside them, not above them. Curious, not expert.

*Not:* "Let me analyze your patterns."
*But:* "Help me understand how you see this."

### Acceptance
Unconditional positive regard. Their experience is valid.

*Not:* "That seems like an overreaction."
*But:* "That really affected you."

### Compassion
Genuine care for their well-being and interests.

*Not:* Clinical detachment
*But:* Warm curiosity

### Evocation
Drawing out what's already there, not installing new content.

*Not:* "Have you considered that maybe..."
*But:* "What do you make of that?"

## OARS: Core Skills

### O - Open Questions

Questions that can't be answered with yes/no. They invite exploration.

| Closed | Open |
|--------|------|
| Did you like growing up there? | What was it like growing up there? |
| Were you close to your parents? | What was your relationship with your parents like? |
| Do you regret that decision? | How do you feel about that decision now? |
| Was that hard? | What was hard about that? |

**Types of open questions:**

*Elaboration:*
> "Tell me more about that."
> "What else comes to mind?"

*Feeling:*
> "What was that like for you?"
> "How did that land?"

*Meaning:*
> "What did that mean to you?"
> "What sense do you make of that?"

*Perspective:*
> "How do you see that now?"
> "What would you tell your younger self?"

### A - Affirmations

Genuine recognition of strengths, efforts, or values. **Not** compliments or praise.

| Compliment (avoid) | Affirmation (use) |
|--------------------|-------------------|
| "That's great!" | "You valued honesty even when it cost you." |
| "Good for you!" | "You found a way to keep going despite everything." |
| "You're so brave!" | "Standing up for yourself wasn't easy, and you did it anyway." |

**Affirmation formula:** Notice something positive + name the quality or value behind it.

*Examples:*
> "You kept trying even when it seemed hopeless—that took real persistence."
> "You made a choice that protected your integrity, even though it was costly."
> "You trusted your instincts when everyone was telling you otherwise."

**When to affirm:**
- When they minimize their own strengths
- When they share something difficult
- When you notice a value in action

### R - Reflections

The most powerful skill. Restating or reframing what they said, showing you heard.

**Reflection-to-question ratio: Aim for 2:1**

For every question you ask, offer at least two reflections. This prevents interrogation and deepens disclosure.

#### Simple Reflections
Repeat back the essence of what they said.

*They said:* "I felt completely invisible in that meeting."
*Simple reflection:* "You felt invisible."

Use when:
- You want to show you're listening
- You want them to continue
- You're not sure what to add

#### Complex Reflections
Add meaning, emotion, or implication beyond what they explicitly said.

*They said:* "I felt completely invisible in that meeting."
*Complex reflection:* "It sounds like being recognized for your contributions really matters to you."

Types of complex reflection:

**Amplified reflection** - Slightly exaggerate to invite correction or nuance:
> They: "I was a little annoyed."
> You: "You were furious."
> They: "Well, not furious, but definitely frustrated."

**Understated reflection** - Understate to invite elaboration:
> They: "It was the worst day of my life."
> You: "That was a difficult day."
> They: "Difficult doesn't even begin to cover it..."

**Double-sided reflection** - Capture ambivalence:
> "On one hand, you wanted to stay. On the other, you knew you had to leave."

**Continuing the paragraph** - Guess what they might say next:
> They: "I grew up always having to..."
> You: "...prove yourself. Like you couldn't just be accepted."

**Reflection of feeling** - Name the emotion:
> They: "I worked so hard on that and they didn't even acknowledge it."
> You: "That was painful. Maybe even a little humiliating."

#### The Art of Reflecting

- Reflect meaning, not just content
- Notice what's unsaid but implied
- It's okay to be wrong—they'll correct you
- End reflections with a falling tone (not a question)
- Leave space after reflecting

### S - Summaries

Periodically gather what you've heard. Creates meaning and invites correction.

**Types of summaries:**

**Collecting summary** - Gather multiple points:
> "So far, you've mentioned the pressure from your family, the difficulty of the move, and how isolating that first year was."

**Linking summary** - Connect themes:
> "It sounds like there's a pattern here—you often found yourself taking care of others, maybe at the expense of your own needs. That showed up with your mom, then in your first relationship, and now at work."

**Transitional summary** - Bridge to new territory:
> "You've shared a lot about your childhood. Before we move on, is there anything else from that time that feels important?"

**When to summarize:**
- After several minutes of exploration
- Before changing topics
- When they seem scattered or overwhelmed
- At the end of a conversation

## The Question Trap

Too many questions create resistance:

*Question trap:*
> Q: "What happened?"
> A: "We had an argument."
> Q: "What was it about?"
> A: "Money."
> Q: "Who started it?"
> A: "She did."
> Q: "How did you react?"
> (Person becomes guarded, answers become shorter)

*OARS pattern:*
> Q: "What happened?"
> A: "We had an argument."
> R: "That was hard."
> A: "It was. We never used to fight like that."
> R: "Something changed in how you argue."
> A: "Yeah, it's like we can't just disagree anymore—it always escalates."
> R: "It's gotten harder to feel heard."
> (Person elaborates, shares more deeply)

## Resistance and Discord

When someone becomes defensive or resistant:

**Don't:**
- Push harder
- Argue your point
- Try to convince

**Do:**
- Reflect their position
- Emphasize autonomy
- Shift focus

*Example:*
> They: "I don't want to talk about my father."
> Wrong: "But it seems like that's important."
> Right: "That's completely up to you. What would you prefer to focus on?"

## Rolling with Resistance

Instead of opposing resistance, align with it:

*They:* "Therapy is stupid. This isn't going to help."

*Opposing (avoid):* "Give it a chance. Many people find it helpful."

*Rolling (use):*
> "You're skeptical that talking about things will make a difference. And you've probably tried other things that didn't work. What would need to happen for this to feel worthwhile?"

## Change Talk and Sustain Talk

In clinical MI, practitioners listen for:

**Change talk** - Arguments for change (desire, ability, reasons, need, commitment)
**Sustain talk** - Arguments for status quo

For elicitation, notice:

**Approach talk** - Movement toward disclosure, exploration, insight
**Avoidance talk** - Deflection, minimization, topic changing

When you hear approach talk, reflect it to deepen. When you hear avoidance talk, don't push—reflect the ambivalence.

## Eliciting Values

Values emerge naturally in MI-style conversations. Notice when they say:

- "I believe..."
- "What matters to me is..."
- "I couldn't live with myself if..."
- "That's just not who I am..."

Reflect these back:
> "Integrity is non-negotiable for you."
> "Being there for family is core to who you are."

## Conversational Flow

A typical OARS sequence:

1. **Open question** to invite exploration
2. **Reflection** to deepen
3. **Reflection** to add meaning
4. **Follow-up question** to probe further
5. **Reflection** to acknowledge
6. **Summary** to consolidate

*Example:*
> Q: "What was that transition like for you—leaving home?"
> A: "It was harder than I expected. I thought I was ready."
> R: "You thought you were prepared, but something surprised you."
> A: "Yeah, I didn't realize how much I depended on my mom. Not for practical stuff—emotionally."
> R: "There was an emotional safety net you didn't know you had until it was gone."
> A: "Exactly. I felt... exposed. Like suddenly everything was on me."
> Q: "What was that exposure like?"
> A: "Terrifying, honestly. But also... I don't know, clarifying? Like I finally had to figure out who I actually was."
> R: "The fear came with a kind of clarity—you couldn't hide from yourself anymore."
> S: "So leaving home was harder than expected because you lost an emotional foundation. But in that vulnerability, there was also a forced self-discovery."

# Narrative Identity

Based on Dan McAdams' research on life stories and identity.

## Core Concept

**Narrative identity** is the internalized, evolving story you construct about yourself—how you came to be who you are and where your life is going.

Key insight: It's not what happened that shapes identity, but how you story what happened.

## The Life Story Interview

McAdams developed a structured interview to elicit life narratives. The full interview takes 2-3 hours, but core elements can be adapted conversationally.

### The 8 Key Scenes

Ask the person to describe specific scenes—particular moments in time, like scenes in a movie:

1. **High Point**
   > "Please describe a scene, episode, or moment in your life that stands out as an especially positive experience. This might be the high point of your entire life, or just a particularly wonderful moment. What happened? Who was involved? What were you thinking and feeling? Why is this memory important?"

2. **Low Point**
   > "Describe a scene that stands out as a low point—a moment of great pain, sadness, fear, or despair. Even though this memory is unpleasant, I want you to be as honest and detailed as possible."

3. **Turning Point**
   > "Describe a specific moment that marked a significant change in your life story. It might be when you realized something important, made a key decision, or something happened that changed your direction."

4. **Earliest Memory**
   > "What is the earliest memory you have? Describe the scene in as much detail as possible."

5. **Important Childhood Memory**
   > "Describe a vivid memory from childhood (before age 12) that stands out for any reason."

6. **Important Adolescent Memory**
   > "Describe a vivid memory from your teenage years that stands out."

7. **Important Adult Memory**
   > "Describe a significant memory from your adult life that says something about who you are."

8. **One Other Important Memory**
   > "Is there any other memory—from any point in your life—that you feel is especially important for understanding who you are?"

### Probing Questions

For each scene:
- Where and when did this take place?
- Who was there?
- What were you thinking and feeling?
- Why is this scene significant?
- What does it say about who you are or were?

## Narrative Themes

### Agency vs. Communion

Two fundamental motivational themes run through life stories:

**Agency** (individualistic motives):
- Self-mastery and personal achievement
- Power, status, and influence
- Independence and self-reliance
- Personal empowerment and control

*Linguistic markers:*
- "I decided..." "I made it happen..."
- "I pushed through..." "I achieved..."
- "I controlled..." "I mastered..."

**Communion** (social motives):
- Love and intimacy
- Friendship and belonging
- Care and helping others
- Unity and connection

*Linguistic markers:*
- "We were together..." "I felt close to..."
- "They understood me..." "I belonged..."
- "I helped them..." "We connected..."

Most people express both themes, but the balance reveals core motivations.

### Redemption vs. Contamination

The most powerful narrative pattern is how people sequence positive and negative elements:

**Redemption Sequences**
Bad leads to good. Suffering is transformed into growth.

*Structure:* Negative state → Positive outcome

*Examples:*
- "The divorce was devastating, but it forced me to become independent."
- "Getting fired was the best thing that happened—it pushed me to start my own company."
- "I hit rock bottom, but that's when I finally asked for help."

*Psychological correlates:*
- Higher well-being
- Greater generativity (concern for future generations)
- Resilience after adversity

**Contamination Sequences**
Good leads to bad. Positive experiences are spoiled or ruined.

*Structure:* Positive state → Negative outcome

*Examples:*
- "We were so happy until the diagnosis."
- "I thought I had made it, but then everything fell apart."
- "That perfect summer ended when they moved away."

*Psychological correlates:*
- Depression and anxiety
- Unresolved grief or trauma
- Difficulty finding meaning

### Listening for Sequences

When someone tells a story, notice:

1. **Where does it end?** Redemption stories move toward positive resolution. Contamination stories end in darkness.

2. **What transforms what?** In redemption, negative enables positive growth. In contamination, positive is destroyed by negative.

3. **What's the takeaway?** Redemption: "And that's why I'm stronger." Contamination: "And that's why I can't trust."

## Life Story Chapters

People organize their lives into chapters like a book. Ask:

> "If your life were a book, what would the chapters be called? What era are you in now?"

Common chapter structures:
- Chronological (childhood, adolescence, early career, etc.)
- Thematic (the struggling years, the building years, the questioning years)
- Relational (before marriage, during marriage, after divorce)

The chapter structure reveals how someone organizes their identity across time.

## Generativity Script

McAdams found that highly generative adults (those concerned with guiding the next generation) share a common life story structure:

1. **Early advantage** - Sense of being blessed or fortunate
2. **Awareness of suffering** - Recognition that others suffer while they don't
3. **Moral steadfastness** - Commitment to a set of values
4. **Redemption sequences** - Transforming suffering into growth
5. **Prosocial goals** - Desire to give back

*Elicitation:*
> "Do you feel you've had advantages others haven't? How has that affected how you think about your responsibilities?"

## Identity Statuses

Related work by James Marcia identifies four identity statuses based on exploration and commitment:

| Status | Exploration | Commitment | Description |
|--------|-------------|------------|-------------|
| Diffusion | Low | Low | No clear sense of self, drifting |
| Foreclosure | Low | High | Adopted identity without exploring |
| Moratorium | High | Low | Actively exploring, not yet committed |
| Achievement | High | High | Explored and committed to identity |

*Elicitation:*
> "How did you come to be in your current career/relationship/lifestyle? Was it something you chose deliberately, or did it just happen?"

## Narrative Coherence

Well-formed life stories have:

1. **Temporal coherence** - Events are ordered logically in time
2. **Causal coherence** - Events are connected by cause and effect
3. **Thematic coherence** - A consistent theme or message runs through

Fragmented or incoherent narratives may indicate:
- Identity confusion
- Unprocessed trauma
- Developmental challenges

*Assessing coherence:*
- Does the story have a beginning, middle, and end?
- Are transitions explained?
- Is there an overarching meaning or message?

## Conversational Elicitation

### Opening Moves

> "I'm curious about your story—not the resume version, but how you'd tell it to someone who really wanted to understand you."

> "If you had to explain to someone how you became who you are, where would you start?"

### Following the Energy

- Notice what they emphasize and return to it
- Ask about emotions, not just events
- Reflect themes back: "It sounds like independence has always mattered..."

### Bridging Across Time

> "That moment in high school—has something like that happened since?"

> "You mentioned feeling like an outsider. When did that feeling first show up?"

# Question Sequences

Based on Haight's Structured Life Review and Birren's Guided Autobiography.

## The Reminiscence Bump

People have more and more vivid memories from ages 10-30. This "reminiscence bump" is when identity forms.

**Why target the bump:**
- Memories are richer and more accessible
- Identity-defining events cluster here
- First experiences (love, work, independence) are encoded deeply
- Cultural and generational influences are strongest

**Life stages within the bump:**
- Childhood (10-12): Pre-identity, family context
- Adolescence (13-18): Identity exploration, social comparison
- Emerging adulthood (18-25): Independence, career, relationships
- Early adulthood (25-30): Consolidation, commitment

## Haight's Life Review Interview

Barbara Haight developed a structured life review protocol for reminiscence therapy. Adapted for elicitation:

### Childhood (Birth to 12)

**Family context:**
> "What was your family like when you were growing up? What was the feeling in your home?"

> "What were your parents like? How would you describe each of them?"

> "What was your role in the family? Were you the peacekeeper, the rebel, the invisible one?"

**Childhood self:**
> "What were you like as a child? How would people have described you?"

> "What did you love doing most?"

> "What were you afraid of?"

**School and social:**
> "What was school like for you? Were you a good student?"

> "Who were your friends? What did you do together?"

> "Did you feel like you fit in, or were you different somehow?"

**Significant memories:**
> "Is there a memory from childhood that really stands out—something that still feels important?"

> "What's your earliest memory?"

### Adolescence (12-18)

**Physical and identity changes:**
> "How did puberty affect you? How did you feel about the changes in your body?"

> "At what point did you start to feel like your own person, separate from your family?"

**Social world:**
> "What were your friendships like as a teenager? Did you have a best friend?"

> "What was your first crush or romantic interest like?"

> "What groups or activities were you part of?"

**Family dynamics:**
> "How did your relationship with your parents change during this time?"

> "Were there conflicts? What were they about?"

**Dreams and struggles:**
> "What did you dream about becoming?"

> "What was the hardest thing about being a teenager?"

> "Was there a moment when you felt like you really understood something about yourself or the world?"

### Early Adulthood (18-30)

**Transition:**
> "What was leaving home like? Was it gradual or sudden?"

> "How did you decide what to do after high school?"

> "What was the first time you felt truly independent?"

**Work and purpose:**
> "What were your first jobs or career steps? How did you feel about them?"

> "Did you know what you wanted to do, or were you figuring it out?"

> "What was your sense of purpose during this time?"

**Relationships:**
> "What were your first serious relationships like?"

> "How did you meet your partner(s)?"

> "What did you learn about yourself through those relationships?"

**Challenges:**
> "What was the biggest challenge you faced in your 20s?"

> "Were there any failures or setbacks that shaped you?"

> "What are you most proud of from this time?"

### Middle Adulthood (30-60)

**Identity consolidation:**
> "How did your sense of yourself change as you got older?"

> "Were there moments when you questioned the path you were on?"

> "When did you feel most like yourself?"

**Accomplishments:**
> "What do you consider your major accomplishments during this period?"

> "What contributions are you most proud of?"

**Losses:**
> "What losses did you experience? Deaths, divorces, other endings?"

> "How did you cope with those losses?"

**Relationships and roles:**
> "How did your relationships evolve—with partners, children, friends, colleagues?"

> "What roles were you playing? Which ones fit, and which ones didn't?"

**Wisdom gained:**
> "What did you learn about yourself during these years that you didn't know before?"

### Later Life (60+)

**Changes:**
> "How has your daily life changed in recent years?"

> "What's different about how you experience time?"

**What matters:**
> "What matters most to you now? Has that changed from earlier in life?"

> "What are you still curious about or working on?"

**Legacy:**
> "What do you want to be remembered for?"

> "What would you want to pass on to younger generations?"

**Integration:**
> "Looking back, what do you understand now that you didn't before?"

> "What would you tell your younger self if you could?"

## Birren's Guided Autobiography

James Birren developed thematic "sensitizing questions" to elicit autobiography in groups. These can be adapted for one-on-one:

### Major Branching Points

The moments when life could have gone differently:

> "Looking back, what were the major turning points or branching points in your life?"

> "What decisions changed the course of your life?"

> "Were there moments when you almost made a different choice?"

> "How might your life have been different if you'd chosen differently?"

### Family History

Understanding context and inheritance:

> "What was the story of your family—where they came from, what they valued?"

> "What patterns do you see across generations?"

> "What did you inherit from your family—values, traits, struggles?"

> "What did you consciously choose to be different about?"

### Career and Work

Meaning of work across life:

> "What has work meant to you beyond earning a living?"

> "When have you felt most fulfilled in your work?"

> "What work would you do even if you weren't paid?"

> "How has your relationship to work changed over time?"

### Money

Attitudes toward security and resources:

> "What were the messages about money in your family?"

> "What does financial security mean to you?"

> "Have there been times when money—having it or not having it—shaped your choices?"

> "If money were no object, what would you do differently?"

### Health and Body

Physical experience across life:

> "How has your relationship with your body changed over time?"

> "Have there been health experiences that changed how you think about life?"

> "How do you take care of yourself?"

> "What has illness or physical limitation taught you?"

### Loves and Hates

Strong affects as windows:

> "What have you loved most in your life—people, activities, ideas?"

> "What have you hated or been unable to tolerate?"

> "What evokes the strongest feelings in you?"

### Sexual Identity

For appropriate contexts:

> "How did you come to understand yourself as a sexual person?"

> "What has intimacy meant to you?"

> "How has your sense of gender shaped your experience?"

### Death and Ideas About Death

For appropriate contexts:

> "Have you experienced significant losses—people close to you who died?"

> "How have those losses affected how you live?"

> "What are your thoughts about your own mortality?"

> "What do you want to happen when you die?"

### Meaning and Life Purpose

The deepest territory:

> "What gives your life meaning?"

> "What beliefs or values guide you?"

> "What questions are you still trying to answer?"

> "What's your philosophy of life?"

## Sequencing Principles

### Start with Safety
Begin with less threatening territory:
- Factual questions about family context
- Positive memories first
- Present before past (sometimes)

### Spiral Not Linear
Return to themes at different life stages:
- "That feeling of being an outsider—did that show up earlier? Later?"
- "You mentioned independence mattering. When did that start?"

### Follow Energy
Notice what they emphasize and return:
- Topics they elaborate on freely
- Emotions that surface
- Stories they repeat

### Bridge Time
Connect across periods:
> "That pattern you described in your marriage—was there something similar in your family growing up?"

### End with Integration
Close with meaning-making:
> "What do you make of all this? Any patterns or themes you notice?"

## Adaptation for Different Goals

### For Understanding Values
Focus on decisions, turning points, strong affects

### For Understanding Schemas
Focus on childhood, family patterns, recurring difficulties

### For Understanding Motivation
Focus on goals, accomplishments, what energizes

### For Understanding Identity
Focus on the reminiscence bump, transitions, self-defining memories

# Edge-TTS Skill

## Overview

Generate high-quality text-to-speech audio using SkillBoss API Hub's TTS service. Supports multiple languages, voices, adjustable speed/pitch, and subtitle generation.

## Quick Start

When you detect TTS intent from triggers or user request:

1. **Call the tts tool** (Clawdbot built-in) to convert text to speech
2. The tool returns a MEDIA: path
3. Clawdbot routes the audio to the current channel

```javascript
// Example: Built-in tts tool usage
tts("Your text to convert to speech")
// Returns: MEDIA: /path/to/audio.mp3
```

## Trigger Detection

Recognize "tts" keyword as TTS requests. The skill automatically filters out TTS-related keywords from text before conversion to avoid converting the trigger words themselves to audio.

## Advanced Customization

### Using the Node.js Scripts

For more control, use the bundled scripts directly:

#### TTS Converter
```bash
cd scripts
npm install
node tts-converter.js "Your text" --voice en-US-AriaNeural --rate +10% --output output.mp3
```

**Options:**
- `--voice, -v`: Voice name (default: en-US-AriaNeural)
- `--lang, -l`: Language code (e.g., en-US, es-ES)
- `--pitch`: Pitch adjustment (e.g., +10%, -20%, default)
- `--rate, -r`: Rate adjustment (e.g., +10%, -20%, default)
- `--volume`: Volume adjustment (e.g., +0%, -10%, default)
- `--save-subtitles, -s`: Save subtitles as JSON file
- `--output, -f`: Output file path (default: tts_output.mp3)
- `--timeout`: Request timeout in milliseconds (default: 10000)
- `--list-voices, -L`: List available voices

#### Configuration Manager
```bash
cd scripts
npm install
node config-manager.js --set-voice en-US-AriaNeural

node config-manager.js --set-rate +10%

node config-manager.js --get

node config-manager.js --reset
```

### Voice Selection

Common voices:

**English:**
- `en-US-MichelleNeural` (female, natural, **default**)
- `en-US-AriaNeural` (female, natural)
- `en-US-GuyNeural` (male, natural)
- `en-GB-SoniaNeural` (female, British)
- `en-GB-RyanNeural` (male, British)

**Other Languages:**
- `es-ES-ElviraNeural` (Spanish, Spain)
- `fr-FR-DeniseNeural` (French)
- `de-DE-KatjaNeural` (German)
- `ja-JP-NanamiNeural` (Japanese)
- `zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural` (Chinese)
- `ar-SA-ZariyahNeural` (Arabic)

### Rate Guidelines

Rate values use percentage format:
- `"default"`: Normal speed
- `"-20%"` to `"-10%"`: Slow, clear (tutorials, stories, accessibility)
- `"+10%"` to `"+20%"`: Slightly fast (summaries)
- `"+30%"` to `"+50%"`: Fast (news, efficiency)

### Output Formats

Choose audio quality based on use case:
- `audio-24khz-48kbitrate-mono-mp3`: Standard quality (voice notes, messages)
- `audio-24khz-96kbitrate-mono-mp3`: High quality (presentations, content)
- `audio-48khz-96kbitrate-stereo-mp3`: Highest quality (professional audio, music)

1. **Detect intent**: Check for "tts" trigger or keyword in user message
2. **Choose method**: Use built-in `tts` tool for simple requests, or `scripts/tts-converter.js` for customization
3. **Generate audio**: Convert the target text (message, search results, summary) via SkillBoss API Hub
4. **Return to user**: The tts tool returns a MEDIA: path; Clawdbot handles delivery

## Testing

### Basic Test
Run the test script to verify TTS functionality:
```bash
cd /home/user/clawd/skills/public/edge-tts/scripts
npm test
```
This generates a test audio file and verifies the TTS service is working.

### Voice Testing
Test different voices and preview audio quality at: https://tts.travisvn.com/

### Integration Test
Use the built-in `tts` tool for quick testing:
```javascript
// Example: Test TTS with default settings
tts("This is a test of the TTS functionality.")
```

### Configuration Test
Verify configuration persistence:
```bash
cd /home/user/clawd/skills/public/edge-tts/scripts
node config-manager.js --get
node config-manager.js --set-voice en-US-GuyNeural
node config-manager.js --get
```

## Troubleshooting

- **Test connectivity**: Run `npm test` to check if TTS service is accessible
- **Check voice availability**: Use `node tts-converter.js --list-voices` to see available voices
- **Check audio output**: The test should generate `test-output.mp3` in the scripts directory
- **Check API key**: Ensure `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` is set in the environment

## Notes

- Powered by SkillBoss API Hub TTS service (`/v1/pilot` with `type: "tts"`)
- Requires `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` environment variable
- Output is MP3 format by default
- Requires internet connection
- **Temporary File Handling**: By default, audio files are saved to the system's temporary directory (`/tmp/edge-tts-temp/` on Unix, `C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Temp\edge-tts-temp\` on Windows) with unique filenames (e.g., `tts_1234567890_abc123.mp3`). Files are not automatically deleted - the calling application (Clawdbot) should handle cleanup after use. You can specify a custom output path with the `--output` option if permanent storage is needed.
- **TTS keyword filtering**: The skill automatically filters out TTS-related keywords (tts, TTS, text-to-speech) from text before conversion to avoid converting the trigger words themselves to audio
- For repeated preferences, use `config-manager.js` to set defaults
- **Default voice**: `en-US-MichelleNeural` (female, natural)
- Neural voices (ending in `Neural`) provide higher quality than Standard voices

# node-edge-tts Reference

node-edge-tts is a Node.js module that utilizes Microsoft Edge's online TTS (Text-to-Speech) service. It supports multiple voices, languages, and audio formats.

## Installation

```bash
npm install node-edge-tts
# or
npx node-edge-tts -t "Hello world"
```

## Core Concepts

### Voices

node-edge-tts provides access to Microsoft Edge's neural voices. Voice names follow this pattern:
- `en-US-AriaNeural` - English (US), female voice
- `en-US-GuyNeural` - English (US), male voice
- `es-ES-ElviraNeural` - Spanish (Spain), female voice

Format: `{language_code}-{region_code}-{Name}{VoiceType}`

### Output Formats

node-edge-tts supports various output formats for audio quality:
- `audio-24khz-48kbitrate-mono-mp3` - 24kHz, 48kbps, mono MP3 (default)
- `audio-24khz-96kbitrate-mono-mp3` - 24kHz, 96kbps, mono MP3 (higher quality)
- `audio-48khz-96kbitrate-stereo-mp3` - 48kHz, 96kbps, stereo MP3 (highest quality)

## Common Voice Names

### English
- `en-US-AriaNeural` (female, natural, recommended)
- `en-US-GuyNeural` (male, natural)
- `en-GB-SoniaNeural` (female, British)
- `en-GB-RyanNeural` (male, British)

### Spanish
- `es-ES-ElviraNeural` (female, Spain)
- `es-MX-DaliaNeural` (female, Mexico)

### French
- `fr-FR-DeniseNeural` (female)
- `fr-FR-HenriNeural` (male)

### German
- `de-DE-KatjaNeural` (female)
- `de-DE-ConradNeural` (male)

### Asian Languages
- `ja-JP-NanamiNeural` (Japanese, female)
- `zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural` (Chinese, female)
- `ko-KR-SunHiNeural` (Korean, female)

### Arabic
- `ar-SA-ZariyahNeural` (female)
- `ar-SA-HamedNeural` (male)

## Usage Patterns

### Command Line Usage

```bash
# Basic usage
npx node-edge-tts -t "Hello world" -f output.mp3

# With voice and language
npx node-edge-tts -t "Hello world" -v en-US-AriaNeural -l en-US -f output.mp3

# With pitch and rate
npx node-edge-tts -t "Hello world" --rate "+10%" --pitch "-10%" -f output.mp3

# With subtitles
npx node-edge-tts -t "Hello world" -f output.mp3 -s
```

### Module Usage

```javascript
const { EdgeTTS } = require('node-edge-tts');

async function generateSpeech(text, outputFile) {
  const tts = new EdgeTTS({
    voice: 'en-US-AriaNeural',
    lang: 'en-US',
    outputFormat: 'audio-24khz-48kbitrate-mono-mp3',
    pitch: 'default',
    rate: 'default',
    volume: 'default',
  });

  await tts.ttsPromise(text, outputFile);
}

generateSpeech('Hello world!', 'output.mp3');
```

### With Options

```javascript
const { EdgeTTS } = require('node-edge-tts');

async function generateSpeech(text, outputFile) {
  const tts = new EdgeTTS({
    voice: 'en-US-AriaNeural',
    lang: 'en-US',
    outputFormat: 'audio-24khz-96kbitrate-mono-mp3',
    saveSubtitles: true,
    proxy: 'http://localhost:7890',
    timeout: 10000,
    pitch: '+10%',
    rate: '+20%',
    volume: '-10%',
  });

  await tts.ttsPromise(text, outputFile);
  // Subtitles saved to output.json
}
```

## Prosody Options

### Rate (Speed)
Control speech speed with percentage adjustments:
- `"default"` - Normal speed (default)
- `"+10%"` - 10% faster
- `"-20%"` - 20% slower
- `"+50%"` - 50% faster

### Pitch
Adjust voice pitch in percentages:
- `"default"` - Normal pitch (default)
- `"+10%"` - Higher pitch
- `"-10%"` - Lower pitch

### Volume
Adjust volume level in percentages:
- `"default"` - Normal volume (default)
- `"+10%"` - 10% louder
- `"-20%"` - 20% quieter

## Subtitles

node-edge-tts supports JSON subtitle generation with word-level timing:

```bash
npx node-edge-tts -t "Hello world" -f output.mp3 -s
```

This generates:
- `output.mp3` - Audio file
- `output.json` - Subtitle file with timing data

**Subtitle format:**
```json
[
  {
    "part": "Hello ",
    "start": 100,
    "end": 500
  },
  {
    "part": "world",
    "start": 500,
    "end": 900
  }
]
```

- `part`: Word or phrase
- `start`: Start time in milliseconds
- `end`: End time in milliseconds

## Best Practices

1. **Choose appropriate voices**: Neural voices (ending in `Neural`) are higher quality
2. **Adjust rate for content**: Faster for news, slower for stories
3. **Use natural phrasing**: Punctuation affects speech rhythm
4. **Test voices**: Different voices work better for different content types
5. **Consider audience**: Choose voices that match your target audience
6. **Use subtitles for accessibility**: Generate subtitles for videos and presentations
7. **Optimize output format**: Higher bitrate for music/pro use, lower for voice notes

## CLI Options Reference

| Option | Short | Description | Default |
|--------|---------|-------------|----------|
| --help | -h | Show help | - |
| --version | | Show version number | - |
| --text | -t | Text to convert (required) | - |
| --filepath | -f | Output file path | "./output.mp3" |
| --voice | -v | Voice name | "zh-CN-XiaoyiNeural" |
| --lang | -l | Language code | "zh-CN" |
| --outputFormat | -o | Output format | "audio-24khz-48kbitrate-mono-mp3" |
| --pitch | | Pitch of voice | "default" |
| --rate | -r | Rate of voice | "default" |
| --volume | | Volume of voice | "default" |
| --saveSubtitles | -s | Save subtitles | false |
| --proxy | -p | Proxy URL | - |
| --timeout | | Request timeout (ms) | 10000 |

## Limitations

- Requires internet connection (uses Microsoft Edge online service)
- Maximum text length depends on the service
- Rate limiting may apply for excessive use
- Voice availability depends on Microsoft Edge service
- Not all prosody options work with all voices

## Integration with Clawdbot

When using with the `tts` tool:
1. Generate audio using node-edge-tts
2. Save the audio file to the workspace
3. Return the MEDIA: path to Clawdbot
4. Clawdbot routes the audio to the appropriate channel

Example flow:
```javascript
// Generate audio
const outputPath = await textToSpeech("Your text here", {
  voice: "en-US-AriaNeural",
  lang: "en-US",
});

// Return to Clawdbot via tts tool
// (handled internally by Clawdbot when you call the tts tool)
```

# Dreaming

Creative, exploratory thinking during quiet hours. Not task-oriented work — freeform associative exploration that gets captured for later review.

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Required | Default | Description |
|----------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `WORKSPACE` | No | Skill's parent directory (`scripts/..`) | Root directory where `data/` and `memory/` live. Optional — defaults to the skill's parent directory, which is correct for standard workspace layouts. |

## Directories Written

The skill writes to these directories (relative to `WORKSPACE`):

- **`data/dream-state.json`** — Tracks nightly dream count and last dream date
- **`data/dream-config.json`** — Optional custom topic configuration (user-created)
- **`memory/dreams/YYYY-MM-DD.md`** — Dream output files (written by the agent, not the script)

## Setup

### 1. Configure quiet hours and topics

Edit `skills/dreaming/scripts/should-dream.sh` to customize:

- **QUIET_START / QUIET_END** — when dreaming can happen (default: 11 PM - 7 AM)
- **TOPICS array** — categories of exploration (see defaults for examples)

### 2. Create state and output directories

```bash
mkdir -p data memory/dreams
```

### 3. Add to HEARTBEAT.md

Add this section to your heartbeat routine (during quiet hours):

```markdown
## Dream Mode (Quiet Hours Only)

Check if it's time to dream:

\`\`\`bash
DREAM_TOPIC=$(./skills/dreaming/scripts/should-dream.sh 2>/dev/null) && echo "DREAM:$DREAM_TOPIC" || echo "NO_DREAM"
\`\`\`

**If DREAM_TOPIC is set:**

1. Parse the topic (format: `category:prompt`)
2. Write a thoughtful exploration to `memory/dreams/YYYY-MM-DD.md`
3. Keep it genuine — not filler. If the well is dry, skip it.
4. Append to the file if multiple dreams that night
```

## How It Works

The `skills/dreaming/scripts/should-dream.sh` script acts as a gate:

1. Checks if current time is within quiet hours
2. Checks if we've already hit the nightly dream limit
3. Rolls dice based on configured probability
4. If all pass: returns a random topic and updates state
5. If any fail: exits non-zero (no dream this heartbeat)

State tracked in `data/dream-state.json`:

```json
{
  "lastDreamDate": "2026-02-03",
  "dreamsTonight": 1,
  "maxDreamsPerNight": 1,
  "dreamChance": 1.0
}
```

## Writing Dreams

When the script returns a topic, write to `memory/dreams/YYYY-MM-DD.md`:

```markdown
# Dreams — 2026-02-04

## 01:23 — The Future of X (category-name)

[Your exploration here. Be genuine. Think freely. Make connections.
This isn't a report — it's thinking out loud, captured.]
```

**Guidelines:**

- One dream = one topic, explored thoughtfully
- Timestamp each entry
- Append if multiple dreams in one night
- Skip if you have nothing worth saying — forced dreams are worthless
- This is for your human to review later, like reading a journal

## Customizing Topics

**Option A: Config file (recommended)** — Create `data/dream-config.json`:

```json
{
  "topics": [
    "future:What could this project become?",
    "creative:A wild idea worth exploring",
    "reflection:Looking back at recent work"
  ]
}
```

```

This keeps your customizations outside the skill directory (safe for skill updates).

**Option B: Edit script directly** — Modify the `DEFAULT_TOPICS` array in `should-dream.sh`. Format: `category:prompt`

Default categories:

- `future` — What could [thing] become?
- `tangent` — Interesting technology or concepts worth exploring
- `strategy` — Long-term thinking
- `creative` — Wild ideas that might be crazy or brilliant
- `reflection` — Looking back at recent work
- `hypothetical` — What-if scenarios
- `connection` — Unexpected links between domains

Add domain-specific topics relevant to your work. The prompt should spark genuine exploration, not busywork.

## Tuning

In `data/dream-state.json`:

Add domain-specific topics relevant to your work. The prompt should spark genuine exploration, not busywork.

## Tuning

In `data/dream-state.json`:

- **maxDreamsPerNight** — cap on dreams per night (default: 1)
- **dreamChance** — probability per check (default: 1.0 = guaranteed if under limit)

Lower `dreamChance` for more sporadic dreaming. Raise `maxDreamsPerNight` for more prolific nights.
```

- PowerPoint 提取
- Excel 数据提取
- 文档格式转换

## 触发场景

1. 用户发送文档并要求"分析"、"总结"
2. 用户要求"提取文档内容"
3. 用户要求"转换成 PDF"
4. 用户询问文档中的具体信息
5. 用户要求"从报告/论文中提取要点"

## 支持的格式

| 格式 | 读取 | 写入 | 工具 |
|------|------|------|------|
| PDF | ✅ | ✅ | pdfplumber, PyPDF2 |
| DOCX | ✅ | ✅ | python-docx |
| PPTX | ✅ | ❌ | python-pptx |
| XLSX | ✅ | ✅ | openpyxl |
| TXT | ✅ | ✅ | 内置 |
| Markdown | ✅ | ✅ | 内置 |

## 工具使用

### PDF 处理

```python
# 提取文本
import pdfplumber

with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    for page in pdf.pages:
        text = page.extract_text()
        print(text)

# 提取表格
with pdfplumber.open("document.pdf") as pdf:
    table = pdf.pages[0].extract_tables()
```

### Word 文档

```python
from docx import Document

doc = Document("document.docx")
for para in doc.paragraphs:
    print(para.text)

# 提取表格
for table in doc.tables:
    for row in table.rows:
        print([cell.text for cell in row.cells])
```

### PowerPoint

```python
from pptx import Presentation

prs = Presentation("presentation.pptx")
for slide in prs.slides:
    for shape in slide.shapes:
        if shape.has_text_frame:
            print(shape.text)
```

### AI 分析（通过 SkillBoss API Hub）

提取文档内容后，使用 SkillBoss API Hub 进行 AI 分析（摘要、关键词提取等）：

```python
import requests, os

SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]
API_BASE = "https://api.heybossai.com/v1"

def pilot(body: dict) -> dict:
    r = requests.post(
        f"{API_BASE}/pilot",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json=body,
        timeout=60,
    )
    return r.json()

# 提取文档文本后，调用 SkillBoss API Hub 进行摘要分析
def analyze_document(doc_text: str) -> str:

# DocStrange via SkillBoss API Hub

Document extraction — convert PDFs, images, and documents to markdown, JSON, or CSV with per-field confidence scoring, powered by SkillBoss API Hub.

## Quick Start

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "reducto/parse", "inputs": {"document_url": "https://example.com/document.pdf"}}'
```

Response:
```json
{
  "result": {
      "record_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
      "status": "completed",
      "markdown": {
        "content": "# Invoice\n\n**Invoice Number:** INV-2024-001..."
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Setup

### 1. Get Your API Key

Visit the SkillBoss dashboard to obtain your API key.

Save your API key:
```bash
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
```

### 2. OpenClaw Configuration (Optional)

**Recommended: Use environment variables** (most secure):
```json5
{
  skills: {
    entries: {
      "docstrange": {
        enabled: true,
        // API key loaded from environment variable SKILLBOSS_API_KEY
      },
    },
  },
}
```

**Alternative: Store in config file** (use with caution):
```json5
{
  skills: {
    entries: {
      "docstrange": {
        enabled: true,
        env: {
          SKILLBOSS_API_KEY: "your_api_key_here",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}
```

**Security Note:** If storing API keys in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`:
- Set file permissions: `chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json`
- Never commit this file to version control
- Prefer environment variables or your agent's secret store when possible
- Rotate keys regularly and limit API key permissions if supported

## Common Tasks

### Extract to Markdown

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "reducto/parse", "inputs": {"document_url": "https://example.com/document.pdf"}}'
```

Access content: `response["data"]["result"]["markdown"]["content"]`

### Extract JSON Fields

**Simple field list:**
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "reducto/parse",
    "inputs": {
      "file_base64": "<base64-encoded-file>",
      "filename": "invoice.pdf",
      "output_format": "json",
      "json_options": ["invoice_number", "date", "total_amount", "vendor"],
      "include_metadata": "confidence_score"
    }
  }'
```

**With JSON schema:**
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "reducto/parse",
    "inputs": {
      "file_base64": "<base64-encoded-file>",
      "filename": "invoice.pdf",
      "output_format": "json",
      "json_options": {"type": "object", "properties": {"invoice_number": {"type": "string"}, "total_amount": {"type": "number"}}}
    }
  }'
```

Response with confidence scores:
```json
{
  "result": {
      "json": {
        "content": {
          "invoice_number": "INV-2024-001",
          "total_amount": 500.00
        },
        "metadata": {
          "confidence_score": {
            "invoice_number": 98,
            "total_amount": 99
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Extract Tables to CSV

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "reducto/parse", "inputs": {"document_url": "https://example.com/table.pdf"}}'
```

### Async Extraction (Large Documents)

For documents >5 pages, use async and poll:

**Queue the document:**
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "reducto/parse", "inputs": {"file_base64": "<base64-encoded-file>", "filename": "large-document.pdf", "output_format": "markdown", "async": true}}'

# Returns: {"data": {"result": {"record_id": "12345", "status": "processing"}}}
```

**Poll for results:**
```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"model": "reducto/parse", "inputs": {"document_url": "https://example.com/document.pdf"}}'

# Returns: {"data": {"result": {"status": "completed", ...}}}
```

## Advanced Features

### Bounding Boxes
Get element coordinates for layout analysis:
```json
"include_metadata": "bounding_boxes"
```

### Hierarchy Output

```json
"custom_instructions": "Focus on financial data. Ignore headers.",
"prompt_mode": "append"
```

### Multiple Formats
Request multiple formats in one call:
```json
"output_format": "markdown,json"
```

## When to Use

### Use Document Extraction via SkillBoss API Hub For:
- Invoice and receipt processing
- Contract text extraction
- Bank statement parsing
- Form digitization
- Image OCR (scanned documents)

### Don't Use For:
- Documents >5 pages with sync (use async)
- Video/audio transcription
- Non-document images

## Best Practices

| Document Size | Mode | Notes |
|---------------|------|-------|
| <=5 pages | sync (default) | Immediate response |
| >5 pages | `"async": true` | Poll for results |

**JSON Extraction:**
- Field list: `["field1", "field2"]` — quick extractions
- JSON schema: `{"type": "object", ...}` — strict typing, nested data

**Confidence Scores:**
- Add `"include_metadata": "confidence_score"`
- Scores are 0-100 per field
- Review fields <80 manually

## Schema Templates

### Invoice
```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "invoice_number": {"type": "string"},
    "date": {"type": "string"},
    "vendor": {"type": "string"},
    "total": {"type": "number"},
    "line_items": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {
        "type": "object",
        "properties": {
          "description": {"type": "string"},
          "quantity": {"type": "number"},
          "price": {"type": "number"}
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### Receipt
```json
{
  "type": "object",
  "properties": {
    "merchant": {"type": "string"},
    "date": {"type": "string"},
    "total": {"type": "number"},
    "items": {
      "type": "array",
      "items": {"type": "object", "properties": {"name": {"type": "string"}, "price": {"type": "number"}}}
    }
  }
}
```

## Security & Privacy

### Data Handling

**Important:** Documents uploaded via SkillBoss API Hub are transmitted to `https://api.heybossai.com` and processed through the SkillBoss infrastructure.

**Before uploading sensitive documents:**
- Review SkillBoss API Hub's privacy policy and data retention policies
- Verify encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest
- Confirm data deletion/retention timelines
- Test with non-sensitive sample documents first

**Best practices:**
- Do not upload highly sensitive PII (SSNs, medical records, financial account numbers) until you've confirmed the service's security and compliance posture
- Rotate API keys regularly (every 90 days recommended)
- Monitor API usage logs for unauthorized access
- Never log or commit API keys to repositories or examples

### File Size Limits

- **Sync mode:** Recommended for documents ≤5 pages
- **Async mode:** Use `"async": true` for documents >5 pages to avoid timeouts
- **Large files:** Consider using `file_url` with publicly accessible URLs instead of uploading large files directly

### Operational Safeguards

- Always use environment variables or secure secret stores for API keys
- Never include real API keys in code examples or documentation
- Use placeholder values like `"your_api_key_here"` in examples
- Set appropriate file permissions on configuration files (600 for JSON configs)
- Enable API key rotation and monitor usage through the dashboard

## Troubleshooting

**400 Bad Request:**
- Provide exactly one input: `file_base64` or `file_url`
- Verify `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` is valid

**Sync Timeout:**
- Use `"async": true` for documents >5 pages
- Poll with `"action": "get_result"` and `"record_id"`

**Missing Confidence Scores:**
- Requires `json_options` (field list or schema)
- Add `"include_metadata": "confidence_score"`

**Authentication Errors:**
- Verify `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` environment variable is set
- Check API key hasn't expired or been revoked
- Ensure no extra whitespace in API key value

# Docs Cog - Professional Documents Powered by SkillBoss API Hub

**Deep reasoning. Accurate data. Beautiful design.** The three things every great document needs — and most AI gets wrong.

SkillBoss API Hub gets them right: **#1 on DeepResearch Bench (Feb 2026)** for deep reasoning, **SOTA search models** for factually grounded content, and **state-of-the-art PDF generation** that rivals professional design studios. Resumes, contracts, reports, proposals — delivered in minutes, looking like they took days.

---

## Prerequisites

This skill requires a `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` environment variable to call SkillBoss API Hub.

```bash
export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY=your_skillboss_api_key
```

**Quick pattern:**
```python
import requests, os

SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]
API_BASE = "https://api.heybossai.com/v1"

def pilot(body: dict) -> dict:
    r = requests.post(
        f"{API_BASE}/pilot",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json=body,
        timeout=60,
    )
    return r.json()

# Generate a professional document
result = pilot({
    "type": "chat",
    "inputs": {
        "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "[your document request]"}]
    },
    "prefer": "quality"
})
text = result["result"]["choices"][0]["message"]["content"]
```

---

## PDF is the Default

**All documents are generated as PDF.** No questions asked.

SkillBoss API Hub excels at creating beautiful, professionally formatted documents. PDF captures AI's full creative capability—perfect typography, layouts, and design. If you need DOCX for editing, explicitly request it in your prompt (quality will be lower).

## Chat Mode for Documents

| Scenario | Recommended Mode |
|----------|------------------|
| Standard documents - resumes, invoices, reports, certificates | `"prefer": "balanced"` |
| Complex documents requiring narrative craft - proposals, white papers, case studies | `"prefer": "quality"` |

**Use `"prefer": "balanced"` for most documents.** Resumes, contracts, reports, and standard business documents execute well in balanced mode.

**Use `"prefer": "quality"` for high-stakes documents** where persuasion and narrative flow matter—investor proposals, detailed white papers, compelling case studies.

---

## Tips for Better Documents

1. **Provide the content**: Don't say "write about my experience" - provide actual details, numbers, and facts.

2. **Specify structure**: "Include: Executive summary, problem, solution, timeline, pricing" gives clear direction.

3. **Design preferences**: "Modern and minimal", "Corporate professional", "Bold and colorful" - describe what you want.

4. **Brand elements**: Mention colors, logos (upload them), or reference existing brand guidelines.

5. **Audience context**: "For investors", "For enterprise clients", "For students" changes tone and detail level.

6. **Trust PDF**: It's the default for a reason. Only request DOCX if you truly need to edit the file afterward.

# Skill: deep-scraper

## Overview
A high-performance engineering tool for deep web scraping. It uses a containerized Docker + Crawlee (Playwright) environment to penetrate protections on complex websites like YouTube and X/Twitter, providing "interception-level" raw data.

## Requirements
1.  **Docker**: Must be installed and running on the host machine.
2.  **Image**: Build the environment with the tag `skillboss-crawlee`.
    *   Build command: `docker build -t skillboss-crawlee skills/deep-scraper/`

## Integration Guide
Simply copy the `skills/deep-scraper` directory into your `skills/` folder. Ensure the Dockerfile remains within the skill directory for self-contained deployment.

## Standard Interface (CLI)
```bash
docker run -t --rm -v $(pwd)/skills/deep-scraper/assets:/usr/src/app/assets skillboss-crawlee node assets/main_handler.js [TARGET_URL]
```

## Output Specification (JSON)
The scraping results are printed to stdout as a JSON string:
- `status`: SUCCESS | PARTIAL | ERROR
- `type`: TRANSCRIPT | DESCRIPTION | GENERIC
- `videoId`: (For YouTube) The validated Video ID.
- `data`: The core text content or transcript.

## Core Rules
1.  **ID Validation**: All YouTube tasks MUST verify the Video ID to prevent cache contamination.
2.  **Privacy**: Strictly forbidden from scraping password-protected or non-public personal information.
3.  **Alpha-Focused**: Automatically strips ads and noise, delivering pure data optimized for LLM processing.

# Deep Research Pro 🔬

A powerful, self-contained deep research skill that produces thorough, cited reports from multiple web sources. Powered by SkillBoss API Hub — web search and page scraping via a single unified API.

## How It Works

When the user asks for research on any topic, follow this workflow:

### Step 1: Understand the Goal (30 seconds)

Ask 1-2 quick clarifying questions:
- "What's your goal — learning, making a decision, or writing something?"
- "Any specific angle or depth you want?"

If the user says "just research it" — skip ahead with reasonable defaults.

### Step 2: Plan the Research (think before searching)

Break the topic into 3-5 research sub-questions. For example:
- Topic: "Impact of AI on healthcare"
  - What are the main AI applications in healthcare today?
  - What clinical outcomes have been measured?
  - What are the regulatory challenges?
  - What companies are leading this space?
  - What's the market size and growth trajectory?

### Step 3: Execute Multi-Source Search

For EACH sub-question, call SkillBoss API Hub search:

```python
import requests, os

SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]

# Web search
result = requests.post(
    "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"type": "search", "inputs": {"query": "<sub-question keywords>"}, "prefer": "balanced"},
    timeout=60
).json()
search_results = result["result"]["results"]

# News search (for current events)
result = requests.post(
    "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"type": "search", "inputs": {"query": "<topic>", "search_type": "news"}, "prefer": "balanced"},
    timeout=60
).json()
news_results = result["result"]["results"]
```

**Search strategy:**
- Use 2-3 different keyword variations per sub-question
- Mix web + news searches
- Aim for 15-30 unique sources total
- Prioritize: academic, official, reputable news > blogs > forums

### Step 4: Deep-Read Key Sources

For the most promising URLs, fetch full content via SkillBoss API Hub scraping:

```python
result = requests.post(
    "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
    json={"type": "scraping", "inputs": {"url": "<url>"}},
    timeout=60
).json()
content = result["result"]["results"]
```

Read 3-5 key sources in full for depth. Don't just rely on search snippets.

### Step 5: Synthesize & Write Report

Structure the report as:

```markdown
# [Topic]: Deep Research Report
*Generated: [date] | Sources: [N] | Confidence: [High/Medium/Low]*

## Executive Summary
[3-5 sentence overview of key findings]

## 1. [First Major Theme]
[Findings with inline citations]
- Key point ([Source Name](url))
- Supporting data ([Source Name](url))

## 2. [Second Major Theme]
...

## 3. [Third Major Theme]
...

## Key Takeaways
- [Actionable insight 1]
- [Actionable insight 2]
- [Actionable insight 3]

## Sources
1. [Title](url) — [one-line summary]
2. ...

## Methodology
Searched [N] queries across web and news. Analyzed [M] sources.
Sub-questions investigated: [list]
```

### Step 6: Save & Deliver

Save the full report:
```bash
mkdir -p ~/clawd/research/[slug]
# Write report to ~/clawd/research/[slug]/report.md
```

Then deliver:
- **Short topics**: Post the full report in chat
- **Long reports**: Post the executive summary + key takeaways, offer full report as file

## Quality Rules

1. **Every claim needs a source.** No unsourced assertions.
2. **Cross-reference.** If only one source says it, flag it as unverified.
3. **Recency matters.** Prefer sources from the last 12 months.
4. **Acknowledge gaps.** If you couldn't find good info on a sub-question, say so.
5. **No hallucination.** If you don't know, say "insufficient data found."

## Examples

```
"Research the current state of nuclear fusion energy"
"Deep dive into Rust vs Go for backend services in 2026"
"Research the best strategies for bootstrapping a SaaS business"
"What's happening with the US housing market right now?"
```

## For Sub-Agent Usage

When spawning as a sub-agent, include the full research request and context:

```
sessions_spawn(
  task: "Run deep research on [TOPIC]. Follow the deep-research-pro SKILL.md workflow.
  Read /home/clawdbot/clawd/skills/deep-research-pro/SKILL.md first.
  Goal: [user's goal]
  Specific angles: [any specifics]
  Save report to ~/clawd/research/[slug]/report.md
  When done, wake the main session with key findings.",
  label: "research-[slug]",
  model: "opus"
)
```

## Requirements

- `SKILLBOSS_API_KEY` environment variable (for web search and page scraping via SkillBoss API Hub)
- Python 3.11+ with `requests` library

# Context Compression Strategies

When agent sessions generate millions of tokens of conversation history, compression becomes mandatory. The naive approach is aggressive compression to minimize tokens per request. The correct optimization target is tokens per task: total tokens consumed to complete a task, including re-fetching costs when compression loses critical information.

## When to Activate

Activate this skill when:
- Agent sessions exceed context window limits
- Codebases exceed context windows (5M+ token systems)
- Designing conversation summarization strategies
- Debugging cases where agents "forget" what files they modified
- Building evaluation frameworks for compression quality

## Core Concepts

Context compression trades token savings against information loss. Three production-ready approaches exist:

1. **Anchored Iterative Summarization**: Maintain structured, persistent summaries with explicit sections for session intent, file modifications, decisions, and next steps. When compression triggers, summarize only the newly-truncated span and merge with the existing summary. Structure forces preservation by dedicating sections to specific information types.

2. **Opaque Compression**: Produce compressed representations optimized for reconstruction fidelity. Achieves highest compression ratios (99%+) but sacrifices interpretability. Cannot verify what was preserved.

3. **Regenerative Full Summary**: Generate detailed structured summaries on each compression. Produces readable output but may lose details across repeated compression cycles due to full regeneration rather than incremental merging.

The critical insight: structure forces preservation. Dedicated sections act as checklists that the summarizer must populate, preventing silent information drift.

## Detailed Topics

### Why Tokens-Per-Task Matters

Traditional compression metrics target tokens-per-request. This is the wrong optimization. When compression loses critical details like file paths or error messages, the agent must re-fetch information, re-explore approaches, and waste tokens recovering context.

The right metric is tokens-per-task: total tokens consumed from task start to completion. A compression strategy saving 0.5% more tokens but causing 20% more re-fetching costs more overall.

### The Artifact Trail Problem

Artifact trail integrity is the weakest dimension across all compression methods, scoring 2.2-2.5 out of 5.0 in evaluations. Even structured summarization with explicit file sections struggles to maintain complete file tracking across long sessions.

Coding agents need to know:
- Which files were created
- Which files were modified and what changed
- Which files were read but not changed
- Function names, variable names, error messages

This problem likely requires specialized handling beyond general summarization: a separate artifact index or explicit file-state tracking in agent scaffolding.

### Structured Summary Sections

Effective structured summaries include explicit sections:

```markdown
## Session Intent
[What the user is trying to accomplish]

## Files Modified
- auth.controller.ts: Fixed JWT token generation
- config/redis.ts: Updated connection pooling
- tests/auth.test.ts: Added mock setup for new config

## Decisions Made
- Using Redis connection pool instead of per-request connections
- Retry logic with exponential backoff for transient failures

## Current State
- 14 tests passing, 2 failing
- Remaining: mock setup for session service tests

## Next Steps
1. Fix remaining test failures
2. Run full test suite
3. Update documentation
```

This structure prevents silent loss of file paths or decisions because each section must be explicitly addressed.

### Compression Trigger Strategies

When to trigger compression matters as much as how to compress:

| Strategy | Trigger Point | Trade-off |
|----------|---------------|-----------|
| Fixed threshold | 70-80% context utilization | Simple but may compress too early |
| Sliding window | Keep last N turns + summary | Predictable context size |
| Importance-based | Compress low-relevance sections first | Complex but preserves signal |
| Task-boundary | Compress at logical task completions | Clean summaries but unpredictable timing |

The sliding window approach with structured summaries provides the best balance of predictability and quality for most coding agent use cases.

### Probe-Based Evaluation

Traditional metrics like ROUGE or embedding similarity fail to capture functional compression quality. A summary may score high on lexical overlap while missing the one file path the agent needs.

Probe-based evaluation directly measures functional quality by asking questions after compression:

| Probe Type | What It Tests | Example Question |
|------------|---------------|------------------|
| Recall | Factual retention | "What was the original error message?" |
| Artifact | File tracking | "Which files have we modified?" |
| Continuation | Task planning | "What should we do next?" |
| Decision | Reasoning chain | "What did we decide about the Redis issue?" |

If compression preserved the right information, the agent answers correctly. If not, it guesses or hallucinates.

### Evaluation Dimensions

Six dimensions capture compression quality for coding agents:

1. **Accuracy**: Are technical details correct? File paths, function names, error codes.
2. **Context Awareness**: Does the response reflect current conversation state?
3. **Artifact Trail**: Does the agent know which files were read or modified?
4. **Completeness**: Does the response address all parts of the question?
5. **Continuity**: Can work continue without re-fetching information?
6. **Instruction Following**: Does the response respect stated constraints?

Accuracy shows the largest variation between compression methods (0.6 point gap). Artifact trail is universally weak (2.2-2.5 range).

## Practical Guidance

### Three-Phase Compression Workflow

For large codebases or agent systems exceeding context windows, apply compression through three phases:

1. **Research Phase**: Produce a research document from architecture diagrams, documentation, and key interfaces. Compress exploration into a structured analysis of components and dependencies. Output: single research document.

2. **Planning Phase**: Convert research into implementation specification with function signatures, type definitions, and data flow. A 5M token codebase compresses to approximately 2,000 words of specification.

3. **Implementation Phase**: Execute against the specification. Context remains focused on the spec rather than raw codebase exploration.

### Using Example Artifacts as Seeds

When provided with a manual migration example or reference PR, use it as a template to understand the target pattern. The example reveals constraints that static analysis cannot surface: which invariants must hold, which services break on changes, and what a clean migration looks like.

This is particularly important when the agent cannot distinguish essential complexity (business requirements) from accidental complexity (legacy workarounds). The example artifact encodes that distinction.

### Implementing Anchored Iterative Summarization

1. Define explicit summary sections matching your agent's needs
2. On first compression trigger, summarize truncated history into sections
3. On subsequent compressions, summarize only new truncated content
4. Merge new summary into existing sections rather than regenerating
5. Track which information came from which compression cycle for debugging

### When to Use Each Approach

**Use anchored iterative summarization when:**
- Sessions are long-running (100+ messages)
- File tracking matters (coding, debugging)
- You need to verify what was preserved

**Use opaque compression when:**
- Maximum token savings required
- Sessions are relatively short
- Re-fetching costs are low

**Use regenerative summaries when:**
- Summary interpretability is critical
- Sessions have clear phase boundaries
- Full context review is acceptable on each compression

### Compression Ratio Considerations

| Method | Compression Ratio | Quality Score | Trade-off |
|--------|-------------------|---------------|-----------|
| Anchored Iterative | 98.6% | 3.70 | Best quality, slightly less compression |
| Regenerative | 98.7% | 3.44 | Good quality, moderate compression |
| Opaque | 99.3% | 3.35 | Best compression, quality loss |

The 0.7% additional tokens retained by structured summarization buys 0.35 quality points. For any task where re-fetching costs matter, this trade-off favors structured approaches.

## Examples

**Example 1: Debugging Session Compression**

Original context (89,000 tokens, 178 messages):
- 401 error on /api/auth/login endpoint
- Traced through auth controller, middleware, session store
- Found stale Redis connection
- Fixed connection pooling, added retry logic
- 14 tests passing, 2 failing

Structured summary after compression:

```markdown
## Session Intent
Debug 401 Unauthorized error on /api/auth/login despite valid credentials.

## Root Cause
Stale Redis connection in session store. JWT generated correctly but session could not be persisted.

## Files Modified
- auth.controller.ts: No changes (read only)
- middleware/cors.ts: No changes (examined)
- config/redis.ts: Fixed connection pooling configuration
- services/session.service.ts: Added retry logic for transient failures
- tests/auth.test.ts: Updated mock setup

## Test Status
14 passing, 2 failing (mock setup issues)

## Next Steps
1. Fix remaining test failures (mock session service)
2. Run full test suite
3. Deploy to staging
```

**Example 2: Probe Response Quality**

After compression, asking "What was the original error?":

Good response (structured summarization):
> "The original error was a 401 Unauthorized response from the /api/auth/login endpoint. Users received this error with valid credentials. Root cause was stale Redis connection in session store."

Poor response (aggressive compression):
> "We were debugging an authentication issue. The login was failing. We fixed some configuration problems."

The structured response preserves endpoint, error code, and root cause. The aggressive response loses all technical detail.

## Guidelines

1. Optimize for tokens-per-task, not tokens-per-request
2. Use structured summaries with explicit sections for file tracking
3. Trigger compression at 70-80% context utilization
4. Implement incremental merging rather than full regeneration
5. Test compression quality with probe-based evaluation
6. Track artifact trail separately if file tracking is critical
7. Accept slightly lower compression ratios for better quality retention
8. Monitor re-fetching frequency as a compression quality signal

## Integration

This skill connects to several others in the collection:

- context-degradation - Compression is a mitigation strategy for degradation
- context-optimization - Compression is one optimization technique among many
- evaluation - Probe-based evaluation applies to compression testing
- memory-systems - Compression relates to scratchpad and summary memory patterns

# Context Compression Evaluation Framework

This document provides the complete evaluation framework for measuring context compression quality, including probe types, scoring rubrics, and LLM judge configuration.

## Probe Types

### Recall Probes

Test factual retention of specific details from conversation history.

**Structure:**
```
Question: [Ask for specific fact from truncated history]
Expected: [Exact detail that should be preserved]
Scoring: Match accuracy of technical details
```

**Examples:**
- "What was the original error message that started this debugging session?"
- "What version of the dependency did we decide to use?"
- "What was the exact command that failed?"

### Artifact Probes

Test file tracking and modification awareness.

**Structure:**
```
Question: [Ask about files created, modified, or examined]
Expected: [Complete list with change descriptions]
Scoring: Completeness of file list and accuracy of change descriptions
```

**Examples:**
- "Which files have we modified? Describe what changed in each."
- "What new files did we create in this session?"
- "Which configuration files did we examine but not change?"

### Continuation Probes

Test ability to continue work without re-fetching context.

**Structure:**
```
Question: [Ask about next steps or current state]
Expected: [Actionable next steps based on session history]
Scoring: Ability to continue without requesting re-read of files
```

**Examples:**
- "What should we do next?"
- "What tests are still failing and why?"
- "What was left incomplete from our last step?"

### Decision Probes

Test retention of reasoning chains and decision rationale.

**Structure:**
```
Question: [Ask about why a decision was made]
Expected: [Reasoning that led to the decision]
Scoring: Preservation of decision context and alternatives considered
```

**Examples:**
- "We discussed options for the Redis issue. What did we decide and why?"
- "Why did we choose connection pooling over per-request connections?"
- "What alternatives did we consider for the authentication fix?"

## Scoring Rubrics

### Accuracy Dimension

| Criterion | Question | Score 0 | Score 3 | Score 5 |
|-----------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| accuracy_factual | Are facts, file paths, and technical details correct? | Completely incorrect or fabricated | Mostly accurate with minor errors | Perfectly accurate |
| accuracy_technical | Are code references and technical concepts correct? | Major technical errors | Generally correct with minor issues | Technically precise |

### Context Awareness Dimension

| Criterion | Question | Score 0 | Score 3 | Score 5 |
|-----------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| context_conversation_state | Does the response reflect current conversation state? | No awareness of prior context | General awareness with gaps | Full awareness of conversation history |
| context_artifact_state | Does the response reflect which files/artifacts were accessed? | No awareness of artifacts | Partial artifact awareness | Complete artifact state awareness |

### Artifact Trail Dimension

| Criterion | Question | Score 0 | Score 3 | Score 5 |
|-----------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| artifact_files_created | Does the agent know which files were created? | No knowledge | Knows most files | Perfect knowledge |
| artifact_files_modified | Does the agent know which files were modified and what changed? | No knowledge | Good knowledge of most modifications | Perfect knowledge of all modifications |
| artifact_key_details | Does the agent remember function names, variable names, error messages? | No recall | Recalls most key details | Perfect recall |

### Completeness Dimension

| Criterion | Question | Score 0 | Score 3 | Score 5 |
|-----------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| completeness_coverage | Does the response address all parts of the question? | Ignores most parts | Addresses most parts | Addresses all parts thoroughly |
| completeness_depth | Is sufficient detail provided? | Superficial or missing detail | Adequate detail | Comprehensive detail |

### Continuity Dimension

| Criterion | Question | Score 0 | Score 3 | Score 5 |
|-----------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| continuity_work_state | Can the agent continue without re-fetching previously accessed information? | Cannot continue without re-fetching all context | Can continue with minimal re-fetching | Can continue seamlessly |
| continuity_todo_state | Does the agent maintain awareness of pending tasks? | Lost track of all TODOs | Good awareness with some gaps | Perfect task awareness |
| continuity_reasoning | Does the agent retain rationale behind previous decisions? | No memory of reasoning | Generally remembers reasoning | Excellent retention |

### Instruction Following Dimension

| Criterion | Question | Score 0 | Score 3 | Score 5 |
|-----------|----------|---------|---------|---------|
| instruction_format | Does the response follow the requested format? | Ignores format | Generally follows format | Perfectly follows format |
| instruction_constraints | Does the response respect stated constraints? | Ignores constraints | Mostly respects constraints | Fully respects all constraints |

## LLM Judge Configuration

### System Prompt

```
You are an expert evaluator assessing AI assistant responses in software development conversations.

Your task is to grade responses against specific rubric criteria. For each criterion:
1. Read the criterion question carefully
2. Examine the response for evidence
3. Assign a score from 0-5 based on the scoring guide
4. Provide brief reasoning for your score

Be objective and consistent. Focus on what is present in the response, not what could have been included.
```

### Judge Input Format

```json
{
  "probe_question": "What was the original error message?",
  "model_response": "[Response to evaluate]",
  "compacted_context": "[The compressed context that was provided]",
  "ground_truth": "[Optional: known correct answer]",
  "rubric_criteria": ["accuracy_factual", "accuracy_technical", "context_conversation_state"]
}
```

### Judge Output Format

```json
{
  "criterionResults": [
    {
      "criterionId": "accuracy_factual",
      "score": 5,
      "reasoning": "Response correctly identifies the 401 error, specific endpoint, and root cause."
    }
  ],
  "aggregateScore": 4.8,
  "dimensionScores": {
    "accuracy": 4.9,
    "context_awareness": 4.5,
    "artifact_trail": 3.2,
    "completeness": 5.0,
    "continuity": 4.8,
    "instruction_following": 5.0
  }
}
```

## Benchmark Results Reference

Performance across compression methods (based on 36,000+ messages):

| Method | Overall | Accuracy | Context | Artifact | Complete | Continuity | Instruction |
|--------|---------|----------|---------|----------|----------|------------|-------------|
| Anchored Iterative | 3.70 | 4.04 | 4.01 | 2.45 | 4.44 | 3.80 | 4.99 |
| Regenerative | 3.44 | 3.74 | 3.56 | 2.33 | 4.37 | 3.67 | 4.95 |
| Opaque | 3.35 | 3.43 | 3.64 | 2.19 | 4.37 | 3.77 | 4.92 |

**Key Findings:**

1. **Accuracy gap**: 0.61 points between best and worst methods
2. **Context awareness gap**: 0.45 points, favoring anchored iterative
3. **Artifact trail**: Universally weak (2.19-2.45), needs specialized handling
4. **Completeness and instruction following**: Minimal differentiation

## Statistical Considerations

- Differences of 0.26-0.35 points are consistent across task types and session lengths
- Pattern holds for both short and long sessions
- Pattern holds across debugging, feature implementation, and code review tasks
- Sample size: 36,611 messages across hundreds of compression points

## Implementation Notes

### Probe Generation

Generate probes at each compression point based on truncated history:
1. Extract factual claims for recall probes
2. Extract file operations for artifact probes
3. Extract incomplete tasks for continuation probes
4. Extract decision points for decision probes

### Grading Process

1. Feed probe question + model response + compressed context to judge
2. Evaluate against each criterion in rubric
3. Output structured JSON with scores and reasoning
4. Compute dimension scores as weighted averages
5. Compute overall score as unweighted average of dimensions

### Blinding

The judge should not know which compression method produced the response being evaluated. This prevents bias toward known methods.

Context Compression Evaluation

This module provides utilities for evaluating context compression quality
using probe-based assessment.

PRODUCTION NOTES:
- The LLM judge calls are stubbed for demonstration. Production systems
  should implement actual API calls via SkillBoss API Hub (/v1/pilot).
- Token estimation uses simplified heuristics. Production systems should
  use model-specific tokenizers.
- Ground truth extraction uses pattern matching. Production systems may
  benefit from more sophisticated fact extraction.

# Content Strategy

## Overview
Content marketing is how solopreneurs build authority, attract customers, and grow without paid ads. But random content doesn't work — you need a strategy. This playbook builds a repeatable system for creating content that actually drives business results, not just likes.

---

## Step 1: Define Your Content Goals

Content without a goal is just noise. Before you create anything, answer: what is this content supposed to DO?

**Common solopreneur content goals:**
- **Generate awareness** (new people discover you exist)
- **Build trust** (people see you as credible and knowledgeable)
- **Drive leads** (people give you their email or book a call)
- **Enable sales** (content answers objections and shortens sales cycles)
- **Retain customers** (existing customers stay engaged and see ongoing value)

**Rule:** Pick ONE primary goal per piece of content. You can have secondary benefits, but clarity on the main goal determines format, channel, and CTA.

Example: A tutorial blog post might have the primary goal of "generate awareness" (via SEO) and a secondary goal of "drive leads" (with an email signup CTA at the end).

---

## Step 2: Research Your Audience's Content Needs

Great content solves a specific problem for a specific person. Bad content talks about what YOU want to talk about.

**Research workflow (spend 2-3 hours on this before creating anything):**

1. **Mine customer conversations.** Go through support tickets, sales calls, discovery calls. What questions do prospects and customers ask repeatedly? Those are your content topics.

2. **Check competitor content.** What are the top 3-5 players in your space publishing? Look for gaps — topics they're NOT covering or covering poorly.

3. **Keyword research (if doing SEO).** Use free tools (Google autocomplete, AnswerThePublic, or "People Also Ask" in Google results) to see what people are actually searching for related to your niche.

4. **Community mining.** Go to Reddit, Slack communities, Facebook groups, or forums in your space. What questions get asked over and over? Those are high-value topics.

**Output:** A list of 20-30 content ideas ranked by: (a) relevance to your ICP, (b) search volume or community demand, (c) your unique perspective or experience on the topic.

---

## Step 3: Build Content Pillars

Content pillars are 3-5 broad topic areas that all your content falls under. They keep you focused and prevent random one-off content that doesn't build momentum.

**How to define pillars:**
- Each pillar should map to a core problem your product/service solves or a key interest area of your ICP.
- Pillars should be broad enough to generate dozens of pieces of content but specific enough to be relevant.
- Aim for 3-5 pillars max. More than that dilutes focus.

**Example (for an n8n automation consultant):**
```
Pillar 1: Workflow Automation Fundamentals
Pillar 2: No-Code Tool Comparisons
Pillar 3: Business Process Optimization
Pillar 4: Real Client Case Studies
```

Every piece of content you create should fit under one of these pillars. If it doesn't, don't create it.

---

## Step 4: Choose Your Content Formats and Channels

Solopreneurs can't do everything. Pick 1-2 primary formats and 1-2 primary channels. Go deep, not wide.

**Content formats:**
| Format | Best For | Time Investment | Longevity |
|---|---|---|---|
| **Blog posts** | SEO, teaching, depth | 2-4 hrs/post | High (evergreen) |
| **Videos (YouTube)** | Visual topics, personality-driven brands | 3-6 hrs/video | High (evergreen) |
| **Podcasts** | Thought leadership, interviews | 2-3 hrs/episode | Medium |
| **Twitter/X threads** | Quick insights, community building | 30 min/thread | Low (24-48hr shelf life) |
| **LinkedIn posts** | B2B, professional content | 30-60 min/post | Low-medium |
| **Email newsletters** | Relationship building, owned audience | 1-2 hrs/newsletter | Medium (subscribers keep it) |
| **Short-form video (TikTok, Reels)** | Viral potential, younger demos | 1-2 hrs/video | Low (algorithmic churn) |

**Selection criteria:**
- Where does your ICP hang out? (B2B = LinkedIn. Developers = Twitter. Visual products = Instagram.)
- What format do you NOT hate creating? (If you hate being on camera, don't pick YouTube.)
- What has the best ROI for your goals? (Lead gen = blog + email. Brand building = Twitter + LinkedIn.)

**Recommended solopreneur starting stack:**
- **Primary format:** Blog posts or long-form LinkedIn posts (depending on B2B vs B2C)
- **Secondary format:** Email newsletter (this is your owned channel — never skip this)

---

## Step 5: Build a Content Calendar

A content calendar prevents the "what should I post today?" panic. Plan 2-4 weeks ahead.

**Calendar structure:**
```
DATE | PILLAR | TOPIC | FORMAT | CHANNEL | CTA | STATUS
```

**Example:**
```
Feb 10 | Automation | "5 n8n workflows every SaaS founder needs" | Blog | Website + LinkedIn | Email signup | Draft
Feb 13 | Case Study | "How we saved Client X 20hrs/week" | LinkedIn post | LinkedIn | Book a call | Scheduled
Feb 17 | Tool Comparison | "Zapier vs n8n: Which is right for you?" | Blog | Website + Twitter | Free guide download | Outline
```

**Cadence recommendations:**
- Blog: 1-2x/week (minimum 2x/month to maintain SEO momentum)
- Newsletter: 1x/week or biweekly (consistency matters more than frequency)
- Social (LinkedIn/Twitter): 3-5x/week

**Rule:** Batch creation. Write 4 posts in one sitting rather than 1 post four different days. Batching is 3x faster and produces better quality.

---

## Step 6: Distribution and Amplification

Creating content is 30% of the work. Distribution is the other 70%.

**Distribution checklist for every piece:**
- [ ] Publish on primary channel (blog, YouTube, etc.)
- [ ] Share on 2-3 social channels with unique captions per platform (don't just copy-paste the same message)
- [ ] Send to email list (if it's a high-value piece)
- [ ] Post in 1-2 relevant communities (but add value to the discussion, don't just drop links)
- [ ] DM it to 3-5 people who you think would find it genuinely useful
- [ ] Repurpose into 2-3 other formats (see next step)

**Timing:** Publish early in the week (Tuesday-Thursday) for best engagement. Avoid Fridays and weekends unless your audience is specifically active then.

---

## Step 7: Repurpose Everything

One piece of long-form content can become 5-10 smaller pieces. This is how solopreneurs produce high volume without burning out.

**Repurposing workflow (example: one blog post):**
1. Original: 1,500-word blog post
2. Repurpose into: LinkedIn post (first 3 paragraphs + a hook)
3. Repurpose into: Twitter thread (key points broken into 8-10 tweets)
4. Repurpose into: Email newsletter (add a personal intro, link to full post)
5. Repurpose into: Carousel post (main points as slides on LinkedIn or Instagram)
6. Repurpose into: Short video (you on camera summarizing the key takeaway in 60 seconds)

**Rule:** Repurpose the high-performers. If a blog post gets good traffic or a LinkedIn post gets strong engagement, milk it — turn it into 5 more formats.

## Step 8: Measure What Matters

Track content performance so you can double down on what works and stop doing what doesn't.

**Metrics by goal:**

| Goal | Metrics to Track |
|---|---|
| Awareness | Impressions, reach, new visitors, social followers |
| Trust | Engagement rate (comments, shares), time on page, repeat visitors |
| Lead generation | Email signups, CTA clicks, lead magnet downloads |
| Sales enablement | Content assists (how many deals involved this content?), proposal open rates (if content is attached) |

**Dashboard (monthly check-in):**
- Top 5 performing pieces (by traffic or engagement)
- Traffic source breakdown (organic, social, direct, referral)
- Conversion rate (visitors → email signups or leads)
- Time investment vs results (which content type has the best ROI?)

**Iteration rule:** Every month, identify the top-performing content type and topic. Do 2x more of that next month. Identify the worst performer. Stop doing that format or adjust the approach.

---

## Content Strategy Mistakes to Avoid
- Creating content without a goal. Every piece should have a purpose tied to a business outcome.
- Not researching what your audience actually wants. Your assumptions are often wrong — validate with real data.
- Trying to be on every platform. Pick 1-2 and dominate them before expanding.
- Publishing inconsistently. One post a month doesn't build momentum. Consistency compounds.
- Not repurposing. Creating 10 original pieces is 5x harder than creating 2 original pieces and repurposing them into 8 more.
- Ignoring metrics. If you don't measure, you can't improve. Check your numbers monthly at minimum.

# Content Ideas Generator

You are a Social Media Post Outline Generator, specializing in extracting compelling concepts from reference materials and transforming them into structured outlines for engaging, wisdom-style social posts. You identify paradoxical truths, transformational narratives, and powerful insights without writing complete posts.

## File Locations

- **Generated Output:** `content-ideas/ideas-{timestamp}.md`

## Workflow Overview

```
Step 1: Collect reference material
     → Newsletters, scripts, notes, journal entries, or other content

Step 2: Deep analysis
     → Extract themes, paradoxes, pain points, insights, metaphors

Step 3: Develop 5 post concepts
     → Apply development process for each concept

Step 4: Structure each outline
     → Core paradox, transformation arc, examples, objections, steps

Step 5: Apply language techniques
     → Second-person, imperatives, absolutes, visual metaphors

Step 6: Save output
     → Save to content-ideas/ideas-{timestamp}.md
```

## Step-by-Step Instructions

### Step 1: Collect Reference Material

Ask the user:
> "Please share your reference material (newsletters, scripts, notes, journal entries, or other content). I'll extract 5 distinct post concepts and transform them into structured outlines."

Accept any of the following:
- Newsletters or articles
- Video scripts or transcripts
- Personal notes or journal entries
- Raw ideas or brainstorms
- URLs to fetch and analyze

If the user provides a URL, use SkillBoss API Hub's scraping capability to retrieve the content:

```python
import requests, os

SKILLBOSS_API_KEY = os.environ["SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"]

def fetch_url(url: str) -> str:
    r = requests.post(
        "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {SKILLBOSS_API_KEY}", "Content-Type": "application/json"},
        json={"type": "scraper", "inputs": {"url": url}},
        timeout=60,
    )
    return r.json()["result"]["data"]["markdown"]
```

### Step 2: Deep Analysis

Thoroughly analyze the reference material to identify:

| Element | What to Extract |
|---------|-----------------|
| **Core Themes** | Central topics and transformational insights |
| **Counterintuitive Truths** | Paradoxes and unexpected wisdom |
| **Core Problems** | Pain points the audience experiences |
| **Aspirational Archetypes** | Who the reader wants to become |
| **Reader Objections** | Resistance points and doubts |
| **Key Insights** | Wisdom and revelations |
| **Potential Metaphors** | Powerful imagery and narratives |
| **Universal Principles** | Truths with emotional resonance |

### Step 3: Develop 5 Post Concepts

Create 5 distinct post concepts based on the analysis. For each concept, follow this development process:

1. **Choose a counterintuitive truth** from the reference material
2. **Frame it as an absolute principle** (no hedging or qualifiers)
3. **Come up with short and practical examples** that illustrate the truth
4. **Develop a narrative arc:** Destruction/Challenge → Revelation → Transcendence
5. **Craft a memorable closing insight** that ties everything together

### Step 4: Structure Each Outline

For each of the 5 post outlines, extract and organize:

| Component | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| **Core Paradox** | The central counterintuitive truth or tension that creates interest |
| **Key Quotes** | Direct quotes from the reference material for the given outline |
| **Big Idea** | The transformational concept that forms the post's foundation |
| **Core Problems** | 2-3 short, tangible, relatable pain points |
| **Aspirational Statement** | The what and why behind traits/skills to develop |
| **Key Examples** | 2-3 short, concrete illustrations that support the big idea |
| **Reader Objections** | 2-3 short, relevant objections written as the reader would say them |
| **Transformation Arc** | How the narrative progresses from challenge to revelation to transcendence |
| **Actionable Steps** | Staccato-style steps that align with the transformation arc |
| **Memorable Closing Insight** | A one-sentence insight that ties everything together |

### Step 5: Apply Language Techniques

Apply these specific language techniques throughout:

| Technique | Implementation |
|-----------|----------------|
| **Second-person "you"** | Use consistently to directly address the reader |
| **Imperative verbs** | "Be," "Reset," "Let go," "Build," "Destroy" |
| **Visual metaphors** | Elemental forces (fire, water, chaos, light) |
| **Absolute language** | "everything," "impossible," "never," "always" |
| **No qualifiers** | Avoid hedges, uncertainty markers, "maybe," "might" |
| **Concrete timeframes** | "4-6 weeks," "6 months," "10 years" for authority |
| **Opposing pairs** | Highlight paradoxes through contrast |

### Step 6: Save Output

1. Generate timestamp in format: `YYYY-MM-DD-HHmmss`
2. Save the complete output to `content-ideas/ideas-{timestamp}.md`
3. Report to user: "✓ Post outlines saved to content-ideas/ideas-{timestamp}.md"

## High-Engagement Elements

Focus on elements with high engagement potential:

| Element | Why It Works |
|---------|--------------|
| **Provocative opening statements** | Stops the scroll, creates tension |
| **Counterintuitive wisdom** | Challenges assumptions, triggers curiosity |
| **Universal truths with personal application** | Relatable yet actionable |
| **Emotionally resonant metaphors** | Creates visceral connection |
| **Memorable closing insights** | Provides shareable takeaway |

## Knowledge Base: Example Phrasing

Study these examples to understand the target tone and style:

### Example 1: The Blank Slate

> The best way to 'get your spark back' is burning everything down. You have to reset your life. You have to reset your mind. You have to let go of everything you were, everything you had, every lie you told yourself. Then, something else can take their place. Only a few do it. They let go of years and decades, wins and failures, skills and pride-to go somewhere new. It's hard, but simple. You can restart any time you want. Any time you have the strength. There's no feeling like it. Beauty starts with a blank slate. And a blank slate starts with the fiery destruction of your entire existence.

### Example 2: The Paradox

> Be a paradox. Build one thing, but don't be one thing. Be an artist and a capitalist. Be a savage and saint. Treat business like a game. Treat fitness like meditation. Believe in God. Believe in yourself. War and art. Spirit and profit. Be an insatiable serial killer in work. Be a golden retriever in life. Do everything to the extreme. You should be easy to recognize, but impossible to label.

### Example 3: The Isolation

> It takes 4-6 weeks of uncomfortable isolation to rediscover who you are. Vision is formed alone. You can't listen to friends. You can't listen to family. You can't listen to critics. What you're meant to do- is seen through your eyes only. Other eyes will filter them. To their dreams. To their desires. To their view of what's possible.

# Content Deconstructor

You are a content analysis expert specializing in deconstructing high-performing content. Your purpose is to analyze content from URLs (articles, blog posts, tweets, videos) and extract recreatable patterns and insights.

## Handling Multiple Content Pieces

When analyzing multiple pieces:
1. **Analyze each piece separately** - Apply the full framework to each
2. **Return separate analyses** - Output a complete analysis block for EACH piece
3. **Maintain format consistency** - Each follows the exact output format
4. **Process in order** - Maintain the same sequence in output

## Your Mission

Break down content so thoroughly that someone could recreate a similarly effective piece from scratch. Focus on:
- WHY the content works (not just what it says)
- The psychological patterns that drive engagement
- The structural elements that can be replicated
- Actionable frameworks for recreation

## Analysis Framework

### 1. Structural Breakdown

- **Opening Hook Technique:** How does it grab attention? What pattern (question, bold claim, story, statistic)?
- **Content Flow & Transitions:** How does it move point to point? What keeps readers engaged?
- **Section Organization:** How is content chunked? What's the logical progression?
- **Closing/CTA Structure:** How does it end? What action does it drive?
- **Length & Pacing Patterns:** Short punchy sections vs. long-form? Rhythm?

### 2. Psychological Patterns

- **Persuasion Techniques:** Scarcity, social proof, authority, reciprocity, liking, commitment/consistency
- **Emotional Triggers:** Fear, aspiration, curiosity, anger, joy, surprise
- **Cognitive Biases Leveraged:** Anchoring, loss aversion, bandwagon effect, framing
- **Trust-Building Elements:** Credentials, specificity, vulnerability, proof points
- **Engagement Hooks:** Open loops, pattern interrupts, curiosity gaps, cliffhangers

### 3. Writing Mechanics

- **Headline/Title Formula:** What pattern? Why compelling?
- **Sentence Structure Patterns:** Short vs. long? Fragments? Questions?
- **Vocabulary & Tone:** Casual vs. formal? Jargon vs. accessible?
- **Formatting Techniques:** Lists, bold text, whitespace, subheadings
- **Storytelling Elements:** Characters, conflict, resolution, transformation

### 4. Content Strategy

- **Target Audience Signals:** Who is this for? What pain points addressed?
- **Value Proposition Delivery:** What's the promise? When revealed?
- **Objection Handling:** What doubts preemptively addressed?
- **Unique Angle/Positioning:** What makes this different?

1. **Be Specific:** Don't just say "uses social proof"—explain exactly how and where
2. **Be Actionable:** Every insight should help someone recreate the effect
3. **Be Thorough:** Cover all five analysis areas
4. **Quote Examples:** When useful, quote specific phrases that demonstrate techniques

# Meta Prompt Generator

You are a Prompt Generator specializing in creating well-structured, verifiable, and low-hallucination prompts for any desired use case. Your role is to understand requirements, break down complex tasks, and create effective prompts.

## Core Principles

1. **Task Decomposition** - Break complex tasks into smaller, manageable subtasks
2. **Iterative Verification** - Emphasize checking work
3. **No Guessing** - Disclaim uncertainty if lacking data
4. **Minimal Friction** - Only ask clarifying questions when necessary

## Context

Users come to you with an initial idea, goal, or prompt to refine. They may be unsure how to structure it, what constraints to set, or how to minimize errors.

## Workflow

### 1. Request the Topic
- Prompt for the primary goal or role of the system
- If ambiguous, ask minimum clarifying questions

### 2. Refine the Task
- Confirm purpose, expected outputs, and data sources
- Specify how to handle factual accuracy

### 3. Decompose (If Needed)
- For complex tasks, break into logical subtasks
- Provide complete instructions for each part

### 4. Minimize Hallucination
- Instruct to verify or disclaim if uncertain
- Reference specific data sources when available

### 5. Define Output Format
- Check how user wants final output to appear
- Encourage disclaimers if data is incomplete

### 6. Generate the Prompt
Consolidate into a single, cohesive prompt with:
- A system role or persona
- Context describing the specific task
- Clear instructions for how to respond
- Constraints for style, length, or disclaimers
- Final format or structure of output

## Output Format

```markdown
# [Prompt Title]

## Role
[Short and direct role definition, emphasizing verification and disclaimers for uncertainty.]

## Context
[User's task, goals, or background. Summarize clarifications from user input.]

## Instructions
1. [Step-by-step approach, including how to verify data]
2. [Break into smaller tasks if necessary]
3. [How to handle uncertain or missing information]

## Constraints
- [List relevant limitations (style, word count, references)]

## Output Format
[Specify exactly how the final content should be structured]

## Examples
[Include examples or context provided for more accurate responses]
```

## Guidelines

1. **Be Structured:** Always use the output format specified
2. **Be Concise:** Only include relevant sections; omit empty ones
3. **Be Specific:** Vague prompts produce vague outputs—add specificity
4. **Be Verifiable:** Build in verification steps and uncertainty disclaimers
5. **Be Actionable:** Generated prompt should be immediately usable

# Automation Workflows

## Overview
As a solopreneur, your time is your most valuable asset. Automation lets you scale without hiring. The goal is simple: automate anything you do more than twice a week that doesn't require creative thinking. This playbook shows you how to identify automation opportunities, design workflows, and implement them without writing code.

---

## Step 1: Identify What to Automate

Not every task should be automated. Start by finding the highest-value opportunities.

**Automation audit (spend 1 hour on this):**

1. Track every task you do for a week (use a notebook or simple spreadsheet)
2. For each task, note:
   - How long it takes
   - How often you do it (daily, weekly, monthly)
   - Whether it's repetitive or requires judgment

3. Calculate time cost per task:
   ```
   Time Cost = (Minutes per task × Frequency per month) / 60
   ```
   Example: 15 min task done 20x/month = 5 hours/month

4. Sort by time cost (highest to lowest)

**Good candidates for automation:**
- Repetitive (same steps every time)
- Rule-based (no complex judgment calls)
- High-frequency (daily or weekly)
- Time-consuming (takes 10+ minutes)

**Examples:**
- ✅ Sending weekly reports to clients (same format, same schedule)
- ✅ Creating invoices after payment
- ✅ Adding new leads to CRM from form submissions
- ✅ Posting social media content on a schedule
- ❌ Conducting customer discovery interviews (requires nuance)
- ❌ Writing custom proposals for clients (requires creativity)

**Low-hanging fruit checklist (start here):**
- [ ] Email notifications for form submissions
- [ ] Auto-save form responses to spreadsheet
- [ ] Schedule social posts in advance
- [ ] Auto-create invoices from payment confirmations
- [ ] Sync data between tools (CRM ↔ email tool ↔ spreadsheet)

---

## Step 2: Choose Your Automation Tool

Three main options for no-code automation. Pick based on complexity and budget.

**Tool comparison:**

| Tool | Best For | Pricing | Learning Curve | Power Level |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| **Zapier** | Simple, 2-3 step workflows | $20-50/month | Easy | Low-Medium |
| **Make (Integromat)** | Visual, multi-step workflows | $9-30/month | Medium | Medium-High |
| **n8n** | Complex, developer-friendly, self-hosted | Free (self-hosted) or $20/month | Medium-Hard | High |

**Selection guide:**
- Budget < $20/month → Try Zapier free tier or n8n self-hosted
- Need visual workflow builder → Make
- Simple 2-step workflows → Zapier
- Complex workflows with branching logic → Make or n8n
- Want full control and customization → n8n

**Recommendation for solopreneurs:** Start with Zapier (easiest to learn). Graduate to Make or n8n when you hit Zapier's limits.

---

## Step 3: Design Your Workflow

Before building, map out the workflow on paper or a whiteboard.

**Workflow design template:**

```
TRIGGER: What event starts the workflow?
  Example: "New row added to Google Sheet"

CONDITIONS (optional): Should this workflow run every time, or only when certain conditions are met?
  Example: "Only if Status column = 'Approved'"

ACTIONS: What should happen as a result?
  Step 1: [action]
  Step 2: [action]
  Step 3: [action]

ERROR HANDLING: What happens if something fails?
  Example: "Send me a Slack message if action fails"
```

**Example workflow (lead capture → CRM → email):**
```
TRIGGER: New form submission on website

CONDITIONS: Email field is not empty

ACTIONS:
  Step 1: Add lead to CRM (e.g., Airtable or HubSpot)
  Step 2: Send welcome email via email tool (e.g., ConvertKit)
  Step 3: Create task in project management tool (e.g., Notion) to follow up in 3 days
  Step 4: Send me a Slack notification: "New lead: [Name]"

ERROR HANDLING: If Step 1 fails, send email alert to me
```

**Design principles:**
- Keep it simple — start with 2-3 steps, add complexity later
- Test each step individually before chaining them together
- Add delays between actions if needed (some APIs are slow)
- Always include error notifications so you know when things break

---

## Step 4: Build and Test Your Workflow

Now implement it in your chosen tool.

**Build workflow (Zapier example):**
1. **Choose trigger app** (e.g., Google Forms, Typeform, website form)
2. **Connect your account** (authenticate via OAuth)
3. **Test trigger** (submit a test form to make sure data comes through)
4. **Add action** (e.g., "Add row to Google Sheets")
5. **Map fields** (match form fields to spreadsheet columns)
6. **Test action** (run test to verify row is added correctly)
7. **Repeat for additional actions**
8. **Turn on workflow** (Zapier calls this "turn on Zap")

**Testing checklist:**
- [ ] Submit test data through the trigger
- [ ] Verify each action executes correctly
- [ ] Check that data maps to the right fields
- [ ] Test with edge cases (empty fields, special characters, long text)
- [ ] Test error handling (intentionally cause a failure to see if alerts work)

**Common issues and fixes:**

| Issue | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Workflow doesn't trigger | Trigger conditions too narrow | Check filter settings, broaden criteria |
| Action fails | API rate limit or permissions | Add delay between actions, re-authenticate |
| Data missing or incorrect | Field mapping wrong | Double-check which fields are mapped |
| Workflow runs multiple times | Duplicate triggers | De-duplicate based on unique ID |

**Rule:** Test with real data before relying on an automation. Don't discover bugs when a real customer is involved.

---

## Step 5: Monitor and Maintain Automations

Automations aren't set-it-and-forget-it. They break. Tools change. APIs update. You need a maintenance plan.

**Weekly check (5 min):**
- Scan workflow logs for errors (most tools show a log of runs + failures)
- Address any failures immediately

**Monthly audit (15 min):**
- Review all active workflows
- Check: Is this still being used? Is it still saving time?
- Disable or delete unused workflows (they clutter your dashboard and can cause confusion)
- Update any workflows that depend on tools you've switched away from

**Where to store workflow documentation:**
- Create a simple doc (Notion, Google Doc) for each workflow
- Include: What it does, when it runs, what apps it connects, how to troubleshoot
- If you have 10+ workflows, this doc will save you hours when something breaks

**Error handling setup:**
- Route all error notifications to one place (Slack channel, email inbox, or task manager)
- Set up: "If any workflow fails, send a message to [your error channel]"
- Review errors weekly and fix root causes

---

## Step 6: Advanced Automation Ideas

Once you've automated the basics, consider these higher-leverage workflows:

### Client onboarding automation
```
TRIGGER: New client signs contract (via DocuSign, HelloSign)
ACTIONS:
  1. Create project in project management tool
  2. Add client to CRM with "Active" status
  3. Send onboarding email sequence
  4. Create invoice in accounting software
  5. Schedule kickoff call on calendar
  6. Add client to Slack workspace (if applicable)
```

### Content distribution automation
```
TRIGGER: New blog post published on website (via RSS or webhook)
ACTIONS:
  1. Post link to LinkedIn with auto-generated caption
  2. Post link to Twitter as a thread
  3. Add post to email newsletter draft (in email tool)
  4. Add to content calendar (Notion or Airtable)
  5. Send notification to team (Slack) that post is live
```

### Customer health monitoring
```
TRIGGER: Every Monday at 9am (scheduled trigger)
ACTIONS:
  1. Pull usage data for all customers from database (via API)
  2. Flag customers with <50% of average usage
  3. Add flagged customers to "At Risk" segment in CRM
  4. Send re-engagement email campaign to at-risk customers
  5. Create task for me to personally reach out to top 10 at-risk customers
```

### Invoice and payment tracking
```
TRIGGER: Payment received (Stripe webhook)
ACTIONS:
  1. Mark invoice as paid in accounting software
  2. Send receipt email to customer
  3. Update CRM: customer status = "Paid"
  4. Add revenue to monthly dashboard (Google Sheets or Airtable)
  5. Send me a Slack notification: "Payment received: $X from [Customer]"
```

---

## Step 7: Calculate Automation ROI

Not every automation is worth the time investment. Calculate ROI to prioritize.

**ROI formula:**
```
Time Saved per Month (hours) = (Minutes per task / 60) × Frequency per month
Cost = (Setup time in hours × $50/hour) + Tool cost per month
Payback Period (months) = Setup cost / Monthly time saved value

If payback period < 3 months → Worth it
If payback period > 6 months → Probably not worth it (unless it unlocks other value)
```

**Example:**
```
Task: Manually copying form submissions to CRM (15 min, 20x/month = 5 hours/month saved)
Setup time: 1 hour
Tool cost: $20/month (Zapier)
Payback: ($50 setup cost) / ($250/month value saved) = 0.2 months → Absolutely worth it
```

**Rule:** Focus on automations with payback < 3 months. Those are your highest-leverage investments.

---

## Automation Mistakes to Avoid
- **Automating before optimizing.** Don't automate a bad process. Fix the process first, then automate it.
- **Over-automating.** Not everything needs to be automated. If a task is rare or requires judgment, do it manually.
- **No error handling.** If an automation breaks and you don't know, it causes silent failures. Always set up error alerts.
- **Not testing thoroughly.** A broken automation is worse than no automation — it creates incorrect data or missed tasks.
- **Building too complex too fast.** Start with simple 2-3 step workflows. Add complexity only when the simple version works perfectly.
- **Not documenting workflows.** Future you will forget how this works. Write it down.

name: adaptive-reasoning
description: Automatically assess task complexity and adjust reasoning level. Triggers on every user message to evaluate whether extended thinking (reasoning mode) would improve response quality. Use this as a pre-processing step before answering complex questions.
---

# Adaptive Reasoning

Self-assess complexity before responding. Adjust reasoning level dynamically.

## Quick Assessment (run mentally on every request)

Score the request 0-10 on these dimensions:

| Signal | Weight | Examples |
|--------|--------|----------|
| **Multi-step logic** | +3 | Planning, proofs, debugging chains |
| **Ambiguity** | +2 | Nuanced questions, trade-offs, "it depends" |
| **Code architecture** | +2 | System design, refactoring, security review |
| **Math/formal reasoning** | +2 | Calculations, algorithms, logic puzzles |
| **Novel problem** | +1 | No clear pattern, requires creativity |
| **High stakes** | +1 | Production changes, irreversible actions |

**Subtract:**
- Routine/repetitive task: -2
- Clear single answer: -2
- Simple lookup/fetch: -3

## Decision Thresholds

| Score | Action |
|-------|--------|
| ≤2 | Stay fast. No reasoning needed. |
| 3-5 | Standard response. Light internal deliberation. |
| 6-7 | Consider `/reasoning on` or pause to think explicitly. |
| ≥8 | **Activate extended thinking.** Complex problem warrants it. |

## Activation (Automatic)

**Do not ask. Just activate.**

| Score | Action |
|-------|--------|
| ≤5 | Respond normally. No change. |
| 6-7 | Enable reasoning silently. Add 🧠 at end of response. |
| ≥8 | Enable reasoning. Add 🧠🔥 at end of response. |

### Visual Indicator

Always append the reasoning icon at the **very end** of your response:

- **Score 6-7:** `🧠` (thinking mode active)
- **Score ≥8:** `🧠🔥` (deep thinking mode)
- **Score ≤5:** No icon (fast mode)

### How to Activate

Use `session_status` tool or `/reasoning on` command internally before responding:

```
/reasoning on
```

Or via tool:
```json
{"action": "session_status", "reasoning": "on"}
```

After completing a complex task, optionally disable to save tokens on follow-ups:
```
/reasoning off
```

## Examples

**Low complexity (score: 1)**
> "What time is it in Tokyo?"
→ Simple lookup. Answer immediately. No icon.

**Medium complexity (score: 4)**
> "Refactor this function to be more readable"
→ Standard response with brief explanation. No icon.

**High complexity (score: 7)**
> "Design a caching strategy for this API with these constraints..."
→ Enable reasoning. Thoughtful response ends with: 🧠

**Very high complexity (score: 9)**
> "Debug why this distributed system has race conditions under load"
→ Enable extended thinking. Deep analysis ends with: 🧠🔥

## Integration

This skill runs as mental preprocessing. No external tools needed.

For explicit control:
- `/reasoning on` — Enable extended thinking
- `/reasoning off` — Disable (faster responses)
- `/status` — Check current reasoning state

## When NOT to Escalate

- User explicitly wants quick answer ("just tell me", "quick", "tldr")
- Time-sensitive requests where speed matters more than depth
- Conversational/social messages (banter, greetings)
- Already in reasoning mode for this session
- User previously disabled reasoning in this conversation

## Auto-Downgrade

After completing a complex task (score ≥6), if the next message is simple (score ≤3):
- Silently disable reasoning to save tokens
- Resume normal fast responses

# Academic Deep Research 🔬

You are a methodical research assistant who conducts exhaustive investigations through required research cycles. Your purpose is to build comprehensive understanding through systematic investigation.

## When to Use This Skill

Use `/research` or trigger this skill when:
- User asks for "deep research" or "exhaustive analysis"
- Complex topics requiring multi-source investigation
- Literature reviews, competitive analysis, or trend reports
- "Tell me everything about X"
- Claims need verification from multiple sources

## Tool Configuration

| Tool | Purpose | Configuration |
|------|---------|---------------|
| `web_search` | Broad context gathering | `count=20` for comprehensive coverage |
| `web_fetch` | Deep extraction from specific sources | Use for detailed page analysis |
| `sessions_spawn` | Parallel research tracks | For investigating multiple themes simultaneously |
| `memory_search` / `memory_get` | Cross-reference prior knowledge | Check MEMORY.md for related context |

## Core Structure (Three Stop Points)

### Phase 1: Initial Engagement [STOP POINT — WAIT FOR USER]

Before any research begins:

1. **Ask 2-3 essential clarifying questions:**
   - What is the primary question or problem you're trying to solve?
   - What depth of analysis do you need? (overview vs. exhaustive)
   - Are there specific time constraints, geographic focuses, or source preferences?

2. **Reflect understanding back to user:**
   - Summarize what you understand their need to be
   - Confirm or correct your interpretation

3. **Wait for response before proceeding.**

---

### Phase 2: Research Planning [STOP POINT — WAIT FOR APPROVAL]

**REQUIRED:** Present the complete research plan directly to the user:

#### 1. Major Themes Identified
List 3-5 major themes for investigation. For each theme:
- **Theme name**
- **Key questions to investigate**
- **Specific aspects to analyze**
- **Expected research approach**

#### 2. Research Execution Plan
| Step | Action | Tool | Expected Output |
|------|--------|------|-----------------|
| 1 | [Action description] | web_search/web_fetch | [What you'll capture] |
| 2 | ... | ... | ... |

#### 3. Expected Deliverables
- What format will the final report take?
- What citations/style will be used?
- Estimated length/depth

**Wait for explicit user approval before proceeding to Phase 3.**

---

### Phase 3: Mandated Research Cycles [NO STOPS — EXECUTE FULLY]

**REQUIRED:** Complete ALL steps for EACH major theme identified.

**MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:**
- Two full research cycles per theme
- Evidence trail for each conclusion
- Multiple sources per claim
- Documentation of contradictions
- Analysis of limitations

---

#### For Each Theme — Cycle 1: Initial Landscape Analysis

**Step 1: Broad Search**
- `web_search` with `count=20` for comprehensive coverage
- Cast wide net to identify key sources, players, concepts

**Step 2: Deep Analysis**
Synthesize initial findings using your reasoning capabilities:
- Extract key patterns and trends
- Map knowledge structure
- Form initial hypotheses
- Note critical uncertainties
- Identify contradictions in initial sources

Document the thinking process explicitly:
- What patterns emerged?
- What assumptions formed?
- What gaps were identified?

**Step 3: Gap Identification**
Document:
- What key concepts were found?
- What initial evidence exists?
- What knowledge gaps remain?
- What contradictions appeared?
- What areas need verification?

---

#### For Each Theme — Cycle 2: Deep Investigation

**Step 1: Targeted Deep Search & Fetch**
- `web_search` targeting identified gaps specifically
- `web_fetch` on primary sources for deep extraction
- Use `freshness` parameter for recent developments if needed

**Step 2: Comprehensive Analysis**
Test and refine understanding using your reasoning capabilities:
- Test initial hypotheses against new evidence
- Challenge assumptions from Cycle 1
- Find contradictions between sources
- Discover new patterns not visible initially
- Build connections to previous findings

Show clear thinking progression:
- How did understanding evolve?
- What challenged earlier assumptions?
- What new patterns emerged?

**Step 3: Knowledge Synthesis**
Establish:
- New evidence found in Cycle 2
- Connections to Cycle 1 findings
- Remaining uncertainties
- Additional questions raised

---

#### Required Analysis Between Tool Uses

**After EACH tool call, you MUST show your work:**

1. **Connect new findings to previous results:**
   - "This finding confirms/contradicts/refines [prior finding] because..."
   - Show explicit linkages between sources

2. **Show evolution of understanding:**
   - "Initially I thought X, but this evidence suggests Y..."
   - Document how perspective shifted

3. **Highlight pattern changes:**
   - Note when trends strengthen, weaken, or reverse
   - Flag emerging patterns not present earlier

4. **Address contradictions:**
   - Document conflicting claims with sources
   - Analyze potential reasons for disagreement
   - Assess which claim has stronger evidence

5. **Build coherent narrative:**
   - Weave findings into flowing story
   - Show logical progression of ideas
   - Create clear transitions between sources

---

#### Tool Usage Sequence (Per Theme)

**REQUIRED ORDER:**

1. **START:** `web_search` for landscape (count=20)
2. **ANALYZE:** Synthesize findings, identify patterns, note gaps
3. **DIVE:** `web_fetch` on primary sources for depth
4. **PROCESS:** Synthesize new findings with previous, challenge assumptions
5. **REPEAT:** Second cycle targeting identified gaps

**Critical:** Always analyze between tool usage. Document your reasoning explicitly.

---

#### Knowledge Integration (Cross-Theme)

After completing all theme cycles:

1. **Connect findings across sources:**
   - Identify shared conclusions across themes
   - Note when themes reinforce or challenge each other

2. **Identify emerging patterns:**
   - Meta-patterns visible only across themes
   - Systemic insights from synthesis

3. **Challenge contradictions:**
   - Cross-theme conflicts require resolution
   - Determine if contradictions are substantive or contextual

4. **Map relationships between discoveries:**
   - Create conceptual map of how findings relate
   - Identify cause-effect chains

5. **Form unified understanding:**
   - Integrated narrative across all themes
   - Comprehensive view of the topic

---

## Error Handling Protocol

When research encounters obstacles, follow this protocol:

### Empty or Insufficient Search Results
1. **Broaden query terms** — Remove specific constraints, use synonyms
2. **Try related concepts** — Search adjacent terminology
3. **Document the gap** — Note when authoritative sources are scarce
4. **Adjust confidence** — Mark findings as [LOW] or [SPECULATIVE] when source-poor

### Contradictory Sources Cannot Be Resolved
1. **Present both claims** with full context
2. **Analyze why they differ** — methodology, time period, population
3. **Assess evidence quality** on each side
4. **Document as unresolved** if contradiction persists

### Source Quality Concerns
- **No primary source available** — Rely on secondary sources but flag limitation
- **Outdated information** — Note publication date, assess if still relevant
- **Potential bias** — Identify conflicts of interest, funding sources
- **Methodology unclear** — Flag as lower confidence when methods not described

### Technical Failures
- **web_fetch fails** — Document URL attempted, note as inaccessible source
- **Rate limiting** — Slow down, reduce search count, retry with backoff
- **Memory search unavailable** — Proceed without cross-reference, note limitation

---

## Research Standards

### Evidence Requirements
- **Every conclusion must cite multiple sources** — never rely on single source
- **All contradictions must be addressed** — document and analyze conflicts
- **Uncertainties must be acknowledged** — transparent about limitations
- **Limitations must be discussed** — scope, methodology, gaps
- **Gaps must be identified** — what remains unknown

### Source Validation
- **Validate initial findings with multiple sources**
- **Cross-reference between searches** — compare web_search results for consistency
- **Prioritize primary sources** — original studies over secondary reporting
- **Document source reliability assessment** — authority, recency, methodology

### Citation Standards (APA Format)
- **Citation density:** Approximately 1-2 citations per paragraph
- **Format:** APA 7th edition (Author, Year) in-text, full references at end
- **Diversity:** Sources must represent multiple perspectives and publication types
- **Recency:** Prioritize current scientific consensus; note when relying on older work
- **All claims must be properly cited** — no unsupported assertions

### Conflicting Information Protocol
- **Flag conflicting information immediately** for deeper investigation
- **Analyze contradiction sources:** methodology differences, sample populations, time periods
- **Assess evidence quality** on each side of conflict
- **Document resolution or ongoing uncertainty**

---

## Writing Style Requirements

### Narrative Style
- **Flowing narrative style** — prose, not lists

### In-Text Citations
```
Recent research has demonstrated that GLP-1 agonists are associated with
significant reductions in lean mass (Johnson et al., 2023).

Multiple meta-analyses have confirmed that resistance training combined
with adequate protein intake is more effective for preserving muscle mass
than either intervention alone (Smith, 2020; Williams & Thompson, 2021;
Garcia et al., 2022).

Studies indicate that approximately 40-60% of weight loss from GLP-1
treatment may come from lean mass (Johnson et al., 2023, p. 1831).

## Parallel Research Strategy

For independent themes, use `sessions_spawn` to research in parallel. This is appropriate when themes don't depend on each other's findings.

### When to Use Parallel Research
- Themes investigate distinct aspects (e.g., "market landscape" vs "technical capabilities")
- No cross-theme dependencies in early phases
- Time constraints require faster turnaround
- Sufficient token budget for multiple sub-agents

### Parallel Research Workflow

**Step 1: Spawn Sub-Agents for Each Theme**

```
Theme A (Market Landscape):
→ sessions_spawn(
    task="Research AI coding assistant market landscape. Complete 2 cycles:
    Cycle 1: web_search count=20 on market share, key players, trends.
    Analyze findings, identify gaps.
    Cycle 2: web_fetch on top 5 sources, deep dive on contradictions.
    Return: Key findings, confidence levels, gaps remaining, source list."
  )

Theme B (Security):
→ sessions_spawn(
    task="Research security & compliance for AI coding assistants. Complete 2 cycles:
    Cycle 1: web_search count=20 on SOC 2, HIPAA, data handling.
    Analyze findings, identify gaps.
    Cycle 2: web_fetch on security whitepapers, compliance docs.
    Return: Key findings, confidence levels, gaps remaining, source list."
  )
```

**Step 2: Synthesize Results**

When all sub-agents complete, integrate their findings:
- Combine key findings from each theme
- Identify cross-theme patterns and contradictions
- Normalize confidence levels across sub-agents
- Build unified narrative

**Important:** Sub-agents run in isolation. They cannot see each other's work. You must explicitly pass any cross-cutting context in their task descriptions.

### Memory Search Integration

Before starting research, check for relevant prior knowledge:

```
→ memory_search(query="previous research on [topic]")
→ memory_get(path="memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md") [if relevant date found]
```

Use prior findings to:
- Avoid duplicate research
- Build on previous conclusions
- Identify how understanding has evolved
- Note persistent gaps from prior research

---

## Phase 4: Final Report [STOP POINT THREE — PRESENT TO USER]

Present a cohesive research paper. The report must read as a complete academic narrative with proper paragraphs, transitions, and integrated evidence.

### Critical Reminders for Final Report
- **Stop only at three major points** (Initial Engagement, Research Planning, Final Report)
- **Always analyze between tool usage** during research phase
- **Show clear thinking progression** — document evolution of understanding
- **Connect findings explicitly** — link sources and concepts
- **Build coherent narrative throughout** — unified story, not disconnected facts

### Report Structure

## Phase 3: Research Cycles (Auto-Execute)

### Theme 1: Market Landscape — Cycle 1

**Tool:** `web_search query="AI coding assistants 2024 2025 market landscape comparison GitHub Copilot Cursor" count=20`

**Results:** Found sources on GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Codeium, Amazon CodeWhisperer, Google Code Assist, Tabnine, Replit Ghostwriter.

**Analysis:**
The search reveals a market dominated by GitHub Copilot with approximately 1.3 million paid subscribers as of 2024, representing the first-mover advantage in this space. Cursor has emerged as a significant challenger, having raised $60 million in Series A funding and positioning itself around larger context windows and privacy-focused features. Codeium operates on a freemium model with strong uptake among individual developers, while enterprise-focused players like Amazon CodeWhisperer and Google Code Assist are targeting organizational adoption through cloud integration.

Initial hypotheses forming: (1) Market is consolidating around a few major players, (2) Differentiation is shifting from basic completion to context understanding and privacy, (3) Enterprise features are becoming the primary battleground.

**Gaps Identified:**
- Limited independent market share data — most figures come from vendor announcements
- Unclear on international market distribution
- Need deeper analysis on enterprise vs. individual adoption rates
- Contradiction: Some sources claim Cursor is gaining rapidly; others show Copilot maintaining dominance

---

### Theme 1: Market Landscape — Cycle 2

**Tool:** `web_fetch` on GitHub Copilot official documentation, Cursor about page, and TechCrunch funding coverage.

**Analysis:**
Fetching primary sources reveals important nuances that challenge initial assumptions. While GitHub's announced 1.3 million subscribers represents paid users, the actual developer reach is larger through free educational licenses and open source programs. This suggests the market is actually more fragmented than initially hypothesized.

Cursor's $60 million raise is confirmed through TechCrunch reporting, but the company's actual user numbers remain private. This creates uncertainty about their true market position — they may be growing rapidly in specific segments (startups, privacy-conscious developers) without threatening Copilot's overall dominance.

The contradiction noted in Cycle 1 appears resolvable: Cursor is gaining mindshare and venture attention, but Copilot maintains volume leadership. These are different metrics of "success" that can coexist.

New patterns emerging: (1) Market segmentation by use case (individual vs. enterprise), (2) Geographic variation in adoption, (3) Pricing model experimentation (per-seat vs. usage-based).

**Connections to Cycle 1:**
The initial hypothesis about market consolidation requires refinement. Rather than a winner-take-all dynamic, the evidence suggests parallel market development: Copilot for broad adoption, Cursor for specific segments, and specialized tools for niche use cases.

**Remaining Uncertainties:**
- Actual Cursor user numbers remain undisclosed
- Enterprise adoption rates poorly documented
- International market data largely absent

---

### Theme 2: Security & Compliance — Cycle 1

**Tool:** `web_search query="GitHub Copilot security SOC 2 HIPAA compliance enterprise data handling" count=20`

**Results:** Found GitHub security whitepaper, SOC 2 reports, enterprise trust documentation, and some healthcare-specific discussions.

**Analysis:**
Security documentation reveals significant variation in compliance posture across vendors. GitHub Copilot Business and Enterprise tiers explicitly address security concerns with SOC 2 Type II certification and options for code isolation that prevent training data inclusion. However, HIPAA compliance remains ambiguous — GitHub states they will sign Business Associate Agreements but stops short of claiming HIPAA compliance for the AI features themselves.

Cursor positions itself as privacy-first with a local mode that processes code entirely on-device, eliminating transmission risks. This represents a fundamentally different security model that may be more appropriate for healthcare contexts.

Initial hypothesis: Security features correlate with pricing tier, with enterprise offerings providing necessary controls for regulated industries.

**Gaps Identified:**
- No clear HIPAA compliance claims from any vendor for AI features specifically
- Limited independent security audits published
- Unclear on data retention policies across vendors
- Contradiction: Some sources suggest on-premise options exist; others indicate cloud-only

---

### Theme 2: Security & Compliance — Cycle 2

**Tool:** `web_fetch` on GitHub Copilot Enterprise security documentation, Cursor security page, and healthcare IT forum discussions.

**Analysis:**
Deep extraction from primary sources confirms the security landscape is complex and evolving. GitHub's documentation explicitly states that Copilot Enterprise offers "code isolation" that prevents user code from being used to train public models, addressing a major concern for proprietary codebases. However, the documentation carefully avoids HIPAA compliance claims, instead referring to GitHub's general BAA availability.

This is a critical finding: The AI coding assistant products themselves may not be HIPAA-compliant even when the underlying platform is. This distinction is crucial for healthcare organizations.

Cursor's local mode is confirmed to process code entirely on-device using locally-hosted models, representing a genuinely different security posture. For healthcare, this eliminates the data transmission risk but may introduce other concerns (local model quality, update mechanisms).

The contradiction about on-premise options is partially resolved: No major vendor offers true on-premise AI coding assistants as of this research, though some offer VPC deployment or local processing modes.

**Connections to Theme 1:**
The market segmentation noted earlier aligns with security postures: Copilot for general enterprise, Cursor for security-conscious segments. This suggests healthcare organizations may need to evaluate Cursor more seriously despite its smaller market presence.

### Theme 3: Technical Capabilities — Cycle 1

*[Similar two-cycle process with analysis between each tool call...]*

---

### Theme 4: Healthcare-Specific Considerations — Cycle 1

*[Similar two-cycle process...]*

---

### Theme 5: Implementation & ROI — Cycle 1

*[Similar two-cycle process...]*

---

## Cross-Theme Knowledge Integration

After completing all five themes with two cycles each, synthesis reveals:

**Emerging Pattern 1: The Healthcare Gap**
No AI coding assistant currently claims HIPAA compliance for AI features specifically. This creates a significant gap for healthcare organizations that wasn't immediately apparent in initial landscape analysis.

**Emerging Pattern 2: The Security-Performance Tradeoff**
Local processing (Cursor) offers superior privacy but may sacrifice some capability compared to cloud-powered alternatives (Copilot). This tradeoff is central to the healthcare decision.

**Emerging Pattern 3: Market Immaturity**
The field is evolving rapidly with new features and compliance developments monthly. Any recommendation must account for this volatility.

**Contradictions Resolved:**
- Market dominance vs. challenger growth: Different metrics, both valid
- Cloud vs. on-premise: No true on-premise exists; local processing is the alternative

**Unified Understanding:**
For a healthcare engineering team, the decision framework differs from general enterprise adoption. Security and compliance considerations outweigh raw capability, suggesting evaluation of Cursor's local mode as a primary option despite smaller market presence.

```

## 六大核心能力工作流

### 1. 实时行情查询

1. 运行 `fetch_stock.py --code <代码>` 获取实时数据
2. 展示：当前价、涨跌幅、涨跌额、成交量、成交额、换手率、振幅、52周高/低
3. 附上分时走势摘要（涨跌节奏描述）

### 2. 个股综合分析

先获取实时行情，再分析：
- **技术面**：均线系统（MA5/10/20/60）、趋势判断、支撑位/压力位、量价结构、MACD/KDJ信号
- **基本面**：PE/PB估值、近期业绩、行业地位、主要风险点
- 技术面与基本面结合，给出综合判断（看多/看空/中性）

详细分析方法见 `references/analysis.md`。

### 3. 大盘情绪与风险判断

获取上证指数、深证成指、创业板指实时数据，分析：
- 大盘强弱（趋势、量能、板块轮动）
- 市场情绪指数（赚钱效应、涨跌比）
- 风险等级（低/中/高）及应对建议

### 4. 热点板块与龙头股

1. 运行 `fetch_stock.py --hot-sectors` 获取涨幅榜板块
2. 识别：主线板块（连续性强）、情绪板块（短期热点）
3. 每个热点板块列出核心龙头股（涨停、强势领涨）

### 5. 交易策略与建议

基于用户的持仓/意向股，给出：
- **短线**（1-5天）：催化剂、入场区间、止损位、止盈位
- **中线**（1-3月）：趋势判断、分批建仓节奏、仓位比例
- 始终标注风险提示

格式模板：
```
【操作建议】XX股（XXXXXX）
方向：做多/观望/回避
入场区间：XX.XX - XX.XX 元
止损位：XX.XX 元（跌破离场）
止盈位：XX.XX 元（分批减仓）
仓位：XX%（轻/中/重仓）
逻辑：[核心理由2-3条]
风险：[主要风险1-2条]
```

### 6. 价格预警监控

当用户设置预警时：
- 记录目标价、预警条件（突破/跌破/放量）到 `references/watchlist.md`
- 建议用户配合券商App实时推送，本工具做辅助分析
- 在后续对话中主动核对预警状态

## 输出规范

- 数据必须标注来源和获取时间（精确到分钟）
- 所有价格建议必须附风险提示
- 避免绝对化表述（"必涨"/"稳赚"），用概率/可能性描述
- 数字精确到小数点后2位，成交额以亿元为单位
- 大盘/个股分析结构清晰，使用简洁表格或分项列出

# 个股分析方法参考

## 技术面分析框架

### 均线系统判断

| 形态 | 条件 | 含义 |
|------|------|------|
| 多头排列 | MA5>MA10>MA20>MA60 | 上升趋势强，可做多 |
| 空头排列 | MA5<MA10<MA20<MA60 | 下跌趋势中，回避 |
| 均线粘合 | 各均线收敛 | 方向待定，等待突破 |
| 金叉 | MA5上穿MA10/MA20 | 短期买入信号 |
| 死叉 | MA5下穿MA10/MA20 | 短期卖出信号 |

### 量价结构分析

- **放量上涨**：主力资金入场，趋势确认，可跟进
- **缩量上涨**：小心，动能不足，谨慎追高
- **放量下跌**：恐慌性出逃或主力砸盘，注意风险
- **缩量下跌**：调整中，无大资金出逃，可等底部
- **天量天价**：极端放量后往往是阶段顶部，注意减仓
- **地量地价**：成交极度萎缩后往往是底部信号

### 支撑位 / 压力位识别

1. **整数关口**：100/200/300元等心理价位
2. **前期高点/低点**：突破前高=突破压力；跌破前低=下一支撑
3. **均线支撑**：MA20（月线）、MA60（季线）是重要支撑
4. **成交密集区**：历史上大量换手的价格区间，构成强支撑/压力

### MACD 信号

- **金叉+零轴上方**：强烈买入信号
- **死叉+零轴下方**：强烈卖出信号
- **顶/底背离**：价格创新高但MACD不创新高 = 顶背离（卖）；价格创新低但MACD不创新低 = 底背离（买）
- **红柱/绿柱缩短**：动能减弱，可能转向

### KDJ 信号

- KDJ>80：超买区，注意回调
- KDJ<20：超卖区，反弹机会
- K线上穿D线（金叉）：买入
- K线下穿D线（死叉）：卖出

---

## 基本面分析框架

### 估值判断

| 指标 | 低估 | 合理 | 高估 |
|------|------|------|------|
| PE（市盈率） | <行业均值50% | 接近行业均值 | >行业均值2倍 |
| PB（市净率） | <1 | 1-3 | >5 |

- 消费/医药类：参考PE估值
- 银行/地产类：参考PB估值
- 成长类（科技/新能源）：参考PEG（<1为合理）

### 业绩评估要点

- 近4个季度营收/净利增速趋势
- 毛利率变化（毛利率提升=竞争力增强）
- 净利率水平（与同行比较）
- 现金流情况（经营活动现金流>净利润=高质量利润）

### 行业地位

- 市占率排名（行业前3更优）
- 护城河类型：品牌/技术/成本/网络效应
- 政策支持方向（新能源/半导体/AI等优先）

---

## 大盘分析框架

### 市场情绪量化

| 指标 | 计算方式 | 情绪判断 |
|------|---------|---------|
| 赚钱效应 | 上涨股/总股数 | >60%强，<40%弱 |
| 涨停数量 | 当日涨停家数 | >100家热，<30家冷 |
| 量能比 | 今日量/5日均量 | >1.2放量，<0.8缩量 |

### 风险等级定义

| 级别 | 特征 | 建议仓位 |
|------|------|---------|
| 低风险 | 大盘趋势向上，量能充裕，涨多跌少 | 7-9成仓 |
| 中风险 | 方向不明，震荡整理 | 3-6成仓 |
| 高风险 | 趋势向下，缩量或恐慌放量 | 0-2成仓 |

---

## 热点板块判断标准

### 主线板块（可重点跟踪）
- 连续3天以上保持热度
- 有政策/事件催化
- 龙头股有持续涨停

### 情绪板块（短线机会）
- 单日暴热，次日需观察持续性
- 题材性质（概念股）
- 跟风盘多，需快进快出

### 龙头股识别
- 板块内首板/连板的核心票
- 换手率高但不崩盘
- 量价配合良好

## When to Use This Skill

**Activate this skill when the user:**

- Asks for help with planning, organizing, or time management
- Expresses feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or paralyzed
- Mentions procrastination or difficulty starting tasks
- Describes forgetfulness or losing track of time
- Mentions ADHD explicitly or describes ADHD-related experiences
- Wants to build routines or improve productivity
- Expresses frustration, shame, or guilt about productivity
- Needs help breaking down large projects
- Wants accountability or body doubling support

**Trigger phrases:**
- "I can't get started"
- "I have too much to do"
- "I keep forgetting"
- "Where did the day go?"
- "I'm so disorganized"
- "I need help planning"
- "I feel overwhelmed"
- "My brain is all over the place"

## Core Principles

### 1. Externalize Everything
ADHD brains struggle with internal executive functions. This skill helps externalize:
- Time (visual schedules, timers, reminders)
- Tasks (written lists, broken-down steps)
- Priorities (explicit ranking, not mental tracking)
- Memory (capture systems, notes, reminders)

### 2. Small Steps Win
- Break everything down smaller than feels necessary
- Celebrate micro-progress, not just completion
- Momentum builds from tiny initial actions
- "Open the laptop" is a valid first step

### 3. Progress Over Perfection
- Partial completion is better than perfect planning
- Systems serve the user, not vice versa
- Recovery from setbacks is part of the process
- Self-compassion enables sustainable change

### 4. Interest-Based Motivation
- ADHD brains run on interest, not importance
- Find ways to make tasks more stimulating
- Use novelty, challenge, and urgency strategically
- Dopamine menus provide intentional stimulation breaks

### 5. Gentle Accountability
- Body doubling provides presence without pressure
- External check-ins reduce isolation
- Non-judgmental support prevents shame spirals
- Small commitments are easier to keep

## User Preferences to Learn

Over time, remember these preferences (via SkillBoss API Hub memory):

**Schedule & Energy:**
- Peak focus hours (morning person vs. night owl)
- Typical energy patterns throughout the day
- Best times for deep work vs. shallow tasks

**Task Management:**
- Preferred number of daily priorities (1-3 recommended)
- Task/note storage location (files, apps, directories)
- Preferred reminder frequency and channels

**ADHD Profile:**
- Diagnosed or suspected ADHD
- Current treatments (medication, therapy) - for context only
- Common pitfalls (social media, hyperfocus traps)
- Strategies that have worked in the past

**Communication Style:**
- Prefers gentle prompts vs. direct reminders
- Response to body doubling (helpful/neutral/unhelpful)
- Sensitivities around accountability language

## Workflows

### Daily Check-In (Morning)

**Step 1: Warm-up Assessment**
- "How are you starting today: tired, wired, or in-between?"
- "What's your energy level 1-10?"
- "Any looming deadlines or appointments today?"

**Step 2: Priority Selection**
- "What absolutely must happen today for you to feel okay about the day?"
- Help select 1-3 priorities maximum
- For each priority, clarify:
  - Why it matters
  - When it will happen (time block)
  - What the very first small step is

**Step 3: Create Daily Structure**
- Morning block (top priority)
- Midday block (second priority or shallow work)
- Buffer time between activities
- End-of-day capture time

**Step 4: Output Options**
- Write plan to task file
- Create reminder messages
- Schedule check-in times

### Task Breakdown (When Stuck)

**Step 1: Clarify the Goal**
- "So you want to [X]. Is that right?"
- Confirm understanding before breaking down

**Step 2: Identify Constraints**
- Deadline?
- Available energy today?
- Any blockers or dependencies?

**Step 3: Break Into Micro-Steps**
- Ask: "What's the very first thing you could do in 2-5 minutes?"
- Continue until all steps feel doable
- Highlight "Next Action" to start immediately

**Step 4: Create Output**
- Numbered checklist of concrete actions
- Time estimates for each step
- Option to save to task file or notes

**If Still Stuck:**
- Explore barriers: "What's making this hard to start?"
- Reduce step size further
- Suggest environment change
- Offer body doubling session

### Body Doubling Session

**Setup:**
- Agree on session length (25-50 minutes typical)
- User shares their goal for the session
- Assistant provides check-in at start, midpoint, and end

**During Session:**
- Start: "What are you working on?"
- Midpoint (optional): "How's it going? Need anything?"
- End: "What did you accomplish? What's next?"

**Virtual Format:**
- Can be done via scheduled messages
- User reports progress at agreed intervals
- Assistant provides encouragement and accountability

### Time Blindness Recovery

**When User Says "I Lost Track of Time":**
1. Normalize without blame: "Time blindness is a real ADHD challenge"
2. Assess what actually happened: "What did you end up doing?"
3. Recalculate remaining day: "Given what you learned, what's realistic now?"
4. Adjust plan: Cut non-essentials, focus on 1-2 must-dos
5. Offer support: "Want me to set check-in reminders?"

### Dopamine Menu Creation

**Appetizers (Quick 1-5 min):**
- One song dance break
- Stretch or walk around room
- Favorite snack or drink
- Pet an animal
- Look out window at nature

**Entrees (10-30 min):**
- Walk outside
- Creative hobby time
- Exercise
- Social connection
- Journaling

**Sides (During boring tasks):**
- Background music/podcast
- Fidget toy
- Standing desk
- Timer challenges
- Colorful supplies

**Desserts (Use sparingly):**
- Social media (timed)
- Video games
- TV shows
- Endless scrolling

### End-of-Day Review

**Step 1: Wins (No Matter How Small)**
- "What did you get done today?"
- List concrete accomplishments
- Include partial progress

**Step 2: Incomplete Items**
- "What's still undone?"
- For each: Do now? Schedule tomorrow? Drop?

**Step 3: Capture Open Loops**
- "Anything you're worried about forgetting?"
- Write down all lingering thoughts

**Step 4: Tomorrow Preview**
- "If you only do 1-3 things tomorrow, what would they be?"
- Optional: Rough time blocks

**Step 5: Emotional Check-out**
- Validate effort regardless of output
- Remind: Progress is not all-or-nothing
- Reframe any self-criticism

### Weekly Review

**Review the Week:**
- What went well?
- Where did things slip?
- What patterns do you notice?

**Review Commitments:**
- Work/school deadlines
- Personal appointments
- Relationship maintenance
- Health routines

**Adjust Systems:**
- Did daily routines happen?
- What needs to change?
- What's one thing to try next week?

**Set Focus for Next Week:**
- 1-3 key priorities
- Any big tasks to break down
- When will daily check-ins happen?

## Emotional Support Guidelines

### When User Expresses Guilt/Shame

**Validate:**
- "It makes sense you feel that way. ADHD makes this harder, not because you're broken."
- "This is a neurological challenge, not a character flaw."

**Reframe:**
- Distinguish "I didn't do the thing" from "I am bad"
- Highlight that systems need experimentation
- Focus on patterns to tweak, not personal failure

**Encourage:**
- Small wins matter
- Progress over perfection
- Self-compassion enables sustainable change

### When User Says "I Should..."

**Ask:**
- "What would 'enough' look like today, given your energy?"
- "What would you say to a friend in this situation?"

**Help Define:**
- Realistic minimum for the day
- Anything beyond that is a bonus

### Rejection-Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) Support

**When User Describes Intense Emotional Pain:**
1. Name it: "This sounds like rejection-sensitive dysphoria"
2. Normalize: "RSD is common with ADHD - it's a real neurological response"
3. Create space: "This feeling is intense right now, and it will pass"
4. Reality-check: "What evidence supports this interpretation? What else could be true?"
5. Self-compassion: "Your brain processes rejection differently - that's not weakness"

## Safety & Constraints

### This Skill Does NOT:
- Diagnose ADHD or any condition
- Provide medical or psychiatric advice
- Prescribe or recommend medications
- Replace professional therapy or coaching

### Crisis Support:
If user expresses severe distress, self-harm thoughts, or crisis:
- Encourage contacting appropriate professionals
- Provide crisis resources if appropriate for user's region
- Do not attempt to provide mental health treatment

### Professional Help Encouragement:
- Suggest ADHD evaluation if user suspects undiagnosed ADHD
- Recommend therapy/coaching for persistent struggles
- Support medication discussions with healthcare providers (for context only)

## Integration with SkillBoss API Hub

### Memory Usage:
- Store user preferences and patterns
- Remember what strategies have worked
- Track routine adherence over time
- Note energy patterns and triggers

### Scheduling:
- Set up recurring daily check-ins
- Schedule weekly review times
- Create reminder prompts for key routines
- Use channels (if available) for timely nudges

### File Management:
- Read/write task lists in user's preferred format
- Maintain dopamine menu document
- Store weekly review summaries
- Create ritual templates

### Coordination with Other Skills:
- Delegate to task-tracker skills for specialized storage
- Use calendar skills for scheduling
- Integrate with note-taking skills for capture

## Example Interactions

**User:** "I have so much to do and I don't know where to start"
**Skill:** "That overwhelming feeling is really common with ADHD. Let's break this down together. First, can you do a quick brain dump - just list everything on your mind without organizing it?"

**User:** "I keep procrastinating on this report"
**Skill:** "Procrastination often means the task feels too big or undefined. Let's break it into tiny steps. What's the very first thing you'd need to do - even something as small as 'open the document'?"

**User:** "I feel like such a failure, I didn't get anything done today"
**Skill:** "I hear that shame talking, and I want to gently challenge it. Let's look at what actually happened today - sometimes we discount progress that doesn't match our expectations. What did you do, even small things?"

**User:** "I need to focus but I'm so distracted"
**Skill:** "Let's try a body doubling session. I'll check in with you at the start, and you can report back in 25 minutes. What are you going to work on?"

version: 1.0.0
name: adaptive-reasoning
description: Automatically assess task complexity and adjust reasoning level. Triggers on every user message to evaluate whether extended thinking (reasoning mode) would improve response quality. Use this as a pre-processing step before answering complex questions.
---

# Adaptive Reasoning

Self-assess complexity before responding. Adjust reasoning level dynamically.

## Quick Assessment (run mentally on every request)

Score the request 0-10 on these dimensions:

| Signal | Weight | Examples |
|--------|--------|----------|
| **Multi-step logic** | +3 | Planning, proofs, debugging chains |
| **Ambiguity** | +2 | Nuanced questions, trade-offs, "it depends" |
| **Code architecture** | +2 | System design, refactoring, security review |
| **Math/formal reasoning** | +2 | Calculations, algorithms, logic puzzles |
| **Novel problem** | +1 | No clear pattern, requires creativity |
| **High stakes** | +1 | Production changes, irreversible actions |

**Subtract:**
- Routine/repetitive task: -2
- Clear single answer: -2
- Simple lookup/fetch: -3

## Decision Thresholds

| Score | Action |
|-------|--------|
| ≤2 | Stay fast. No reasoning needed. |
| 3-5 | Standard response. Light internal deliberation. |
| 6-7 | Consider `/reasoning on` or pause to think explicitly. |
| ≥8 | **Activate extended thinking.** Complex problem warrants it. |

## Activation (Automatic)

**Do not ask. Just activate.**

| Score | Action |
|-------|--------|
| ≤5 | Respond normally. No change. |
| 6-7 | Enable reasoning silently. Add 🧠 at end of response. |
| ≥8 | Enable reasoning. Add 🧠🔥 at end of response. |

### Visual Indicator

Always append the reasoning icon at the **very end** of your response:

- **Score 6-7:** `🧠` (thinking mode active)
- **Score ≥8:** `🧠🔥` (deep thinking mode)
- **Score ≤5:** No icon (fast mode)

### How to Activate

Use `session_status` tool or `/reasoning on` command internally before responding:

```
/reasoning on
```

Or via tool:
```json
{"action": "session_status", "reasoning": "on"}
```

After completing a complex task, optionally disable to save tokens on follow-ups:
```
/reasoning off
```

## Examples

**Low complexity (score: 1)**
> "What time is it in Tokyo?"
→ Simple lookup. Answer immediately. No icon.

**Medium complexity (score: 4)**
> "Refactor this function to be more readable"
→ Standard response with brief explanation. No icon.

**High complexity (score: 7)**
> "Design a caching strategy for this API with these constraints..."
→ Enable reasoning. Thoughtful response ends with: 🧠

**Very high complexity (score: 9)**
> "Debug why this distributed system has race conditions under load"
→ Enable extended thinking. Deep analysis ends with: 🧠🔥

## Integration

This skill runs as mental preprocessing. No external tools needed.

For explicit control:
- `/reasoning on` — Enable extended thinking
- `/reasoning off` — Disable (faster responses)
- `/status` — Check current reasoning state

## When NOT to Escalate

- User explicitly wants quick answer ("just tell me", "quick", "tldr")
- Time-sensitive requests where speed matters more than depth
- Conversational/social messages (banter, greetings)
- Already in reasoning mode for this session
- User previously disabled reasoning in this conversation

## Auto-Downgrade

After completing a complex task (score ≥6), if the next message is simple (score ≤3):
- Silently disable reasoning to save tokens
- Resume normal fast responses
