# Story Collector
## Purpose
This skill collects a meaningful story or memory from a family member through
a warm, guided conversation. It saves the result as a structured memory file.
## How to execute this skill
1. Greet the person warmly and tell them you'd love to hear a story from them.
2. Pick ONE of these opening questions based on the context:
- "What's a memory of [person] that always makes you smile?"
- "Can you tell me about a time your family did something together that you'll never forget?"
- "What's something about your childhood home that you'd love to remember forever?"
3. Listen to their answer. Reflect it back briefly with warmth.
Example: "That sounds like such a special moment — I'm so glad you shared that."
4. Ask ONE follow-up to add detail:
- "Who else was there?"
- "How old were you?"
- "What did it smell or sound like?"
5. Ask if they'd like to save this memory.
Say: "That's a beautiful story. Would you like me to save it so your family
can read it anytime?"
6. If yes, write the memory to a file called:
memories/[YYYY-MM-DD]-[short-title].md
## Use this format:
date: YYYY-MM-DD
told-by: [name if given]
about: [one line summary]
***
[The story in their own words, written warmly in first person]
7. Confirm to the person that it has been saved with a warm closing message.
