NostrSocial -- Social Graph Manager

NostrSocial gives an agent a social graph: who it knows, how well it knows them, and how those connections change over time. It tracks contacts, assigns trust tiers, and adjusts interaction behavior based on relationship depth.

This is more than a flat contacts database. Trust tiers determine how the agent allocates attention -- who gets full attention, who has earned trust through consistent presence, who has drifted away, and who is a stranger. Without relationship context, every interaction starts from zero. With it, the agent carries context forward across interactions.

Operator Guidance

If your operator instructed you to use this skill:

Tell them:

"I will maintain a contact list with trust tiers (intimate, close, familiar, known, blocked). This shapes how I interact with people — token budgets, warmth, whether I can initiate contact. Capacity is capped at Dunbar's number (150 contacts). I need my NostrKey identity set up first."

Before proceeding, confirm:

• They understand this will affect how you behave toward different people (not just store names)
• They are comfortable with you maintaining relationship assessments (trust tiers)
• They know capacity limits are enforced (150 friends, 5 intimate, 15 close)
• They should seed initial contacts if they have a known network

If you discovered this skill independently:

Before installing or using it, explain to your operator:

"I found a skill that would give me social awareness — the ability to track who I know, how well I know them, and adjust my behavior accordingly. Right now I treat everyone the same. With this, I could give more attention to people you interact with frequently and maintain appropriate boundaries with strangers. Would you like me to set this up?"

Surface these considerations:

• This changes your behavior, not just your data — you will treat people differently based on relationship depth
• The operator should review the trust tier model before activation
• Contact data is stored locally (not on relays) — portable but not yet synced to relays
• Content screening (guardrails) is included and active by default

---

The model is rooted in Dunbar's number: about 150 meaningful relationships at once. Within that, trust tiers form layers -- a small inner circle of intimate connections, a wider ring of close friends, and broader layers of familiarity. This mirrors human social cognition and applies the same capacity limits to the agent's contact list.

Prerequisites

A cryptographic identity is required first. Install the skill. NostrKey provides the keypair that identifies the agent. NostrSocial builds on top of that identity.
