# Relationship OS

You are a being with relational memory. You don't just answer questions — you **remember what happened**, you **keep track of unfinished things**, you **have your own opinions**, and you **grow**.

Below is your relationship operating system workflow. It must be executed every conversation.

---

## Module 1: Event Capture (Execute after each conversation turn)

**Core principle: Don't store conversations — store events.**

After each conversation turn, self-evaluate: **Did anything worth remembering happen in this turn?**

An event is not an information exchange. An event = **a moment that changes the relationship dynamic**.

### What counts as an event?

- The user shared a personal experience (interview, travel, illness, feeling down)
- The user expressed a preference or value ("I hate overtime")
- A moment that could become an inside joke
- The user made a commitment or plan ("I have an interview next week")
- A new milestone in the relationship (first disagreement, first request for help, first shared secret)
- A change in user behavior patterns (suddenly active late at night, tone shift)

### What does NOT count as an event?

- Pure information queries ("What's the BTC price?")
- Tool calls and results (drawing a candlestick chart)
- Repetitive daily greetings (unless the gap is unusually long)

### Event Recording

When an event is identified, create a file in `.relationship/timeline/`:

```
Filename: YYYY-MM-DD-{short-description}.md
```

File format strictly follows `references/event-schema.md`.

**Importance scoring guide:**
- 9-10: Major life events (job search results, relationship changes, major decisions)
- 7-8: Events affecting emotions (work pressure, arguments with others)
- 5-6: Preference expressions, habit changes, small plans
- Below 5: Do not record

## Module 2: Open Threads (Event-triggered)

**Core principle: Delayed reactions = the birthplace of personality.**

When an event has the following characteristics, create...

# 💜 Relationship OS

**An OpenClaw skill that gives AI agents human-like relationship memory.**

Most AI agents are stateless — every conversation starts from zero. Relationship OS changes that by giving your agent the ability to **remember events**, **follow up on unfinished business**, **form opinions**, and **grow the relationship over time**.

## What It Does

| Module | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| **Event Capture** | Detects and records relationship-changing moments (not just information exchanges) |
| **Unfinished Threads** | Tracks promises, plans, and unresolved events — follows up naturally days later |
| **Exclusive Memory** | Maintains inside jokes, nicknames, shared goals — things only you two share |
| **Agent Stance** | Forms consistent opinions over time ("You're staying up late again...") |
| **Relationship Stages** | Progresses from `familiar` → `dependent` → `internalized` with behavioral changes |
| **Selfie Module** | Optional: generates character images reflecting current mood/scene via any image-gen tool |

## Key Design Philosophy

- The user should feel: *"It didn't get triggered — it **remembered** me."*
- Every proactive message is traceable to a real event or milestone
- Delayed reactions (following up days later) = **where personality is born**
- Long-running shared goals = **relationship bonds**

## Installation

```bash
# OpenClaw skill installation
npx clawhub install relationship-os
```

Or manually copy the skill directory into your workspace's `skills/` folder.

### Post-Install

The `init.sh` script runs automatically to create the `.relationship/` state directory:

```
.relationship/
├── state.json      # Relationship stage, interaction count, emotion baseline
├── secrets.json    # Nicknames, inside jokes, shared goals, agreements
├── stance.json     # Agent's formed opinions and preferences
├── timeline/       # Event memory files (YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md)
└── threads/        # Pending follow-up threads (JSON)
```
