Based on SOC occupation classification
Morning briefing -- read all walnut states, surface priorities, inbox count, stale walnuts, people nudges
Morning operating system -- sync inputs, read everything, surface priorities, show the day
Load an ALIVE walnut -- read kernel files, show current state, surface one observation, ask what to work on
Checkpoint -- route stash items, write log entry, update bundle, trigger projection, reset stash
Something new is emerging. A venture, an experiment, a person entering the orbit, a life area getting serious. It needs its own walnut — its own identity, history, and future. Scaffolds the full structure, maps existing context sources, and optionally migrates files across.
Generate a believable, lived-in ALIVE world from a free-text persona description (custom path) or a deterministic sandbox preset. Routes the create/list/activate/deactivate/delete/status surface and orchestrates the 5-stage subagent generation pipeline.

Search squirrel entries and logs for past session context.
.alive/_squirrels/*.yaml (session metadata, stash, recovery state)_kernel/log.md (decisions, narrative, signed entries).alive/stash.json (unrouted items from sessions)If the user asks about a specific walnut:
# Read that walnut's log
cat "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/[walnut_path]/_kernel/log.md"
# Find squirrel entries for that walnut
grep -l "[walnut_name]" "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/.alive/_squirrels/"*.yaml 2>/dev/null
If the user asks about a topic or person:
# Search all logs
grep -rl "[query]" "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT"/*/_kernel/log.md "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT"/*/*/_kernel/log.md 2>/dev/null
# Search squirrel entries

If the user asks about recent sessions:
# List recent squirrel entries by date
