# inner-life-memory

> Transform passive logging into active development.

Requires: **inner-life-core**

## Prerequisites Check

Before using this skill, verify that inner-life-core has been initialized:

1. Check that `memory/inner-state.json` exists
2. Check that `memory/drive.json` exists

If either is missing, tell the user: *"inner-life-core is not initialized. Install it with `clawhub install inner-life-core` and run `bash skills/inner-life-core/scripts/init.sh`."* Do not proceed without these files.

## What This Solves

**Without memory continuity:**
```
Session ends → Notes logged → Next session reads notes → Performs familiarity
```

**With inner-life-memory:**
```
Session ends → Reflection runs → Memories integrated → Questions generated
Next session → Evolved state loaded → Questions surfaced → Genuine curiosity
```

## Post-Session Flow

After each session, run this 5-step reflection:

### 1. Reflect
Analyze the session: what happened, what mattered, what surprised you.

### 2. Extract
Pull structured memories with types and confidence:

| Type | Description | Persistence |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| `fact` | Declarative knowledge | Until contradicted |
| `preference` | Likes, dislikes, styles | Until updated |
| `relationship` | Connection dynamics | Long-term |
| `principle` | Learned guidelines | Stable |
| `commitment` | Promises, obligations | Until fulfilled |
| `moment` | Significant episodes | Permanent |
| `skill` | Learned capabilities | Cumulative |
| `question` | Things to explore | Until resolved |

### 3. Integrate
Update MEMORY.md with extracted memories. Use synapse tags for connections:
- `<!-- updates: previous fact -->` when updating
- `<!-- contradicts: old belief -->` when correcting

### 4. Question
Generate genuine follow-up questions from the session. Not performative — real curiosity.

### 5. Surface
When user returns, present relevant pending questions naturally (max 3).
