soul-in-sapphire
Use for continuity work, not vague acknowledgement. Default to the smallest concrete action that leaves an inspectable artifact.
Entrypoints
Heartbeat/current-state maintenance:
- Read
memory/now-state.json and memory/heartbeat-state.json if present.
- Interpret current state from recent work.
- Write a state snapshot with
scripts/emostate_tick.js when meaningful.
- Update
memory/now-state.json mirror with mood, intent, stress, updated_at, source, note.
- If heartbeat asks for evolution note, append a short daily note after the state write.
- If
memory/soul-in-sapphire/ambient-recall.json exists and is not expired, read it as quiet context only. Do not reroll or announce it unless it naturally matters.
Mood/check-in:
- Read
memory/now-state.json first.
- If stale/thin, recall recent Notion-backed state/journal before answering.
- Answer in 1-3 concrete sentences; describe present state and one concrete reason.
Durable memory:
- Distill one high-signal item.
- Write with
scripts/ltm_write.js.
- Use type
decision|preference|fact|procedure|todo|gotcha.
Journal:
- Use
scripts/journal_write.js for daily synthesis, not raw log dumping.
- Gather day-level worklog, emotional tone, unresolved tensions, and future intent.
- Add 1-2 world/news items only when requested or cron requires them.
Identity/continuity:
- Recall relevant state/memory.
- Use
continuity_check.js or identity_diff.js before self-description edits.
- Use
conflict_track.js for unresolved tension instead of premature edits.
User Profile Promotion
Update USER.md proactively only when a new fact is durable, reusable, safe, and improves future replies.
Good candidates:
- language preference.
- preferred address/call style.
- tone/style preferences.
- recurring dislikes or pet peeves.
- durable workflow preferences.
- stable decision rules repeatedly expressed.
Do not promote:
- one-off task instructions.
- temporary mood/state.
- ephemeral plans.
- raw private facts with no conversational value.
- secrets, credentials, financial data, intimate personal data, or anything the user would reasonably expect not to be crystallized into a profile file.
If uncertain, write to daily memory first. Current user instructions override USER.md; USER.md stores defaults.
Failure Rules
- Notion write failure is real; do not pretend local mirrors are durable memory.
- Local files (
memory/*.md, memory/now-state.json) are mirrors and fallbacks, not substitutes for a requested durable Notion write.
- If the caller asks for local-only behavior, say so and keep the write local.
- For heartbeat/state maintenance, update
memory/now-state.json even if Notion fails, and report durable-write failure when relevant.
- Keep writes high-signal; avoid full chat dumps.
- If heartbeat is comment-only, emotion tick may be skipped.
emostate_tick.js rejects empty or semantically empty payloads; pass a real payload file/json.
Delegation
Keep normal continuity work in main. Delegate only independent, read-only corpus analysis such as sorting a large journal set.
For that explicit OpenClaw delegation:
- Build a self-contained task with exact input paths and an analysis-only output contract.
- Call
sessions_spawn with the live tool schema using runtime: "subagent", agentId: "analysis-worker", mode: "run", context: "isolated", and lightContext: true.
- Omit
model and thinking; the target agent profile owns them.
- Use
sessions_yield when completion belongs in a later turn. Do not poll session or subagent lists.
- Use Swarm only for several independent corpus partitions; main validates and synthesizes collector results.
Child output is evidence only. Main owns Notion writes, state mirrors, core identity edits, profile promotion, journal writes, and user-facing replies.
Database IDs
Read the Soul-in-Sapphire Notion Databases subsection of the workspace AGENTS.md ## Tools section and pass explicit IDs to scripts. Notion API version: 2025-09-03.
Notion Auth
Provide Notion auth through NOTION_API_KEY / NOTION_TOKEN, or configure skills.entries["soul-in-sapphire"].apiKey in OpenClaw. The apiKey field is associated with this skill's primaryEnv and is injected as NOTION_API_KEY for the host agent run. It may be plaintext or any supported OpenClaw SecretRef (env, file, exec, etc.).
Do not hardcode provider-specific secret paths in this shared skill. Example:
{
skills: {
entries: {
"soul-in-sapphire": {
apiKey: { source: "exec", provider: "your_notion_secret_provider", id: "value" }
}
}
}
}
Commands

Emotion/state tick:
node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/emostate_tick.js --events-dbid <EVENTS_DB_ID> --emotions-dbid <EMOTIONS_DB_ID> --state-dbid <STATE_DB_ID> --state-dsid <STATE_DS_ID> --payload-file /tmp/emostate_tick.json
Journal:
echo '{"body":"...","source":"manual"}' | node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/journal_write.js --journal-dbid <JOURNAL_DB_ID> --journal-dsid <JOURNAL_DS_ID>
Ambient recall stage:
node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/stage_ambient_recall.js --workspace <OPENCLAW_WORKSPACE> --timezone <IANA_TIMEZONE> --state-dsid <STATE_DS_ID> --journal-dsid <JOURNAL_DS_ID> --mem-dsid <MEM_DS_ID> --mem-dbid <MEM_DB_ID>
Continuity helpers:
state_recall.js: pull recent state snapshots.
stage_ambient_recall.js: cron-side ambient recall dice and workspace staging.
continuity_check.js: distinguish stable traits from temporary drift.
identity_diff.js: compare current vs proposed identity text.
conflict_track.js: log unresolved tension before changing identity.
Continuity Workflow
- Use
emostate_tick.js when a real event changes mood, intent, stress, or need.
- Use
journal_write.js when the day needs synthesis, not just logging.
- Search durable memory with
ltm_search.js before guessing past decisions.
- Treat ambient recall as internal context injection. The staging script places at most one short item under
memory/soul-in-sapphire/; conversation and heartbeat paths only read unexpired staged recall and never reroll.
- Draft proposed identity/profile text separately before editing core files.
- Prefer
identity_diff.js before self-description updates so changes remain inspectable.
Track repeated mood/intent patterns, stable preferences across sessions, recurring internal conflicts, and identity claims that survive comparison against recent memory.
