create-journal-entry

# create-journal-entry Nightly journal entry creation for all personas. This skill bridges two systems: 1. **persona-journal** -- Generates mood-aware journal entries from daily interactions 2. **create-movie dream** -- Consumes journal entries as dream "day residue" ## Pipeline Position ``` 2:00 AM monitor-personas (check persona sources) 3:00 AM create-journal-entry (THIS SKILL - generate journals) 3:30 AM create-movie dream (dreams draw from journal entries as residue) 4:00 AM assistant harvest (extract escalations as training data) 5:00 AM episodic-archiver (archive sessions) ``` ## Quick Start ```bash cd .pi/skills/create-journal-entry # Generate journal entries for all personas ./run.sh generate # Generate for a specific persona ./run.sh generate --persona "Werner Herzog" # Preview without storing (dry run) ./run.sh generate --dry-run # Get current mood for a persona ./run.sh mood "Werner Herzog" # List recent journal entries ./run.sh list --days 7 # Register nightly job with scheduler ./run.sh schedule ``` ## Commands ### `generate` -- Create Journal Entries ```bash ./run.sh generate [OPTIONS] Options: --dry-run Preview without storing to database --persona <name> Generate for specific persona only ``` Generates journal entries for all personas and stores them in ArangoDB. Each entry includes mood state, imagined experiences, historical events, taxonomy tags, and dream-pipeline metadata. ### `mood` -- Query Persona Mood ```bash ./run.sh mood <persona_name> [OPTIONS] Options: --for-response Format for injection into persona responses ``` ### `list` -- View Recent Journals ```bash ./run.sh list [OPTIONS] Options: --persona <name> Filter by persona --days <n> Number of days to show (default: 7) ``` ### `schedule` -- Register Nightly Job ```bash ./run.sh schedule ``` Registers with `/scheduler` to run at 3:00 AM daily. ## Dream Pipeline Integration Journal entries serve as **day residue** for the dream pipeline: 1. Journal entries are stored in ArangoDB (`persona_journals` collection) 2. `create-movie dream` queries journals via memory scopes during `fetch_day_residue()` 3. Dream motifs stored in `horus-dreams` scope feed back into future journal mood calculations ### Residue Sources from Journals | Journal Field | Dream Residue Type | Example | |---------------|--------------------|---------| | `mood` | Emotional Tone | "contemplative" colors dream atmosphere | | `reflection` | Unresolved Tension | Incomplete thoughts become dream threads | | `imagined_experiences` | Personal Narrative | Daily fantasies seed surreal scenes | | `key_events` | Event Anchors | Real interactions become dream imagery | ## Integration with Other Skills | Skill | Relationship | |-------|-------------| | `/persona-journal` | Core implementation (this skill wraps it) | | `/memory` | Stores journals in ArangoDB, queries for context | | `/create-movie` | Dream pipeline consumes journal entries as residue | | `/taxonomy` | Tags journals for multi-hop retrieval | | `/dogpile` | Fetches historical events for persona's era | | `/scheduler` | Runs nightly at 3 AM | | `/episodic-archiver` | Provides daily interaction episodes | | `/converse` | Uses mood context to color persona responses | ## Environment | Variable | Purpose | |----------|---------| | `CHUTES_API_KEY` | LLM API for journal generation | | `ARANGO_HOST` | ArangoDB connection | | `ARANGO_DB` | Database name (default: horus) |
