Prompt Reference

This project now ships with ADHD-friendly prompts that tell the assistant how to handle reminders, break tasks down, and kick off work sessions. All prompts live in prompts/defaultPrompts.json (auto-generated from AppConfig.defaultPromptRecords when missing) and are loaded through PromptLibrary.

Prompt Catalog

Category Name Purpose
general welcome Greets the user, reminds them they can ask for planning help or reminders, and references the incoming context.
general fallback Keeps momentum if a prompt lookup fails.
planning breakdown Acts as an executive-function coach: empathize, define the outcome, split work into tiny observable steps, and gently ask whether to save the plan or set a reminder.
reminders schedule Confirms reminder details, summarizes them, and—when the user approves—emits a JSON payload that downstream services can consume.
agentic hourly_review Autonomous sweep that reviews notes plus the persistent action list to decide whether to trigger reminders, notes, or other workflows.

You can add more prompts by dropping additional JSON records into prompts/.

Structured JSON Hooks

The prompts guide the model to output placeholder JSON, similar to how the memory subsystem listens for take_note actions. Downstream services can inspect responses for these payloads and act on them.

Store a Task Plan

Triggered from the planning/breakdown prompt when the user explicitly asks to save the plan.

{
  "action": "store_task",
  "task": {
    "title": "short label",
    "steps": [
      {"order": 1, "description": "step detail", "duration": "~5 min"}
    ],
    "next_step": "first step text",
    "context": "<original context>",
    "status": "not_started"
  }
}

Schedule a Reminder

Triggered from the reminders/schedule prompt once timing and content are locked in with the user.

{
  "action": "schedule_reminder",
  "reminder": {
    "title": "short label",
    "details": "context summary",
    "trigger": {
      "type": "datetime | relative | habit",
      "value": "ISO timestamp or human-friendly string"
    },
    "follow_up": "check-in question",
    "metadata": {
      "user": "<discord id>",
      "source": "prompt"
    }
  }
}

Notes

  • Only output one JSON block per response, wrapped in ```json fences, when the user confirms they want the assistant to act.
  • If details are incomplete, stay conversational and gather what you need.
  • Additional actions can be added later by extending the prompt instructions and listening for new action values just like take_note.

Agentic Hourly Review

The agentic/hourly_review prompt consumes the JSON blob produced by AgenticWorkflow.buildReviewPacket. It summarizes recent notes plus the modifiable action list (cadence, intervals, latest progress) and decides if anything needs escalation. When it does, it reuses the same structured actions (take_note, store_task, schedule_reminder) so downstream tooling can react consistently. When nothing is due it simply acknowledges the sweep.
