People Memories

People memories skill

Purpose

Keep a short-lived, searchable memory vault about people you talk to so your assistant can recall follow-ups instantly. The skill handles:

• remember cues (voice or text) to persist comments, preferences, and context.
• Summaries + exports so you can package a person’s “fact card.”
• Search, recall, and list commands for quick lookups.
• Optional auto-trigger from voice transcripts (when you say “remember …”).

Structure & storage

~/.clawdbot/people-memory.json now stores:

{
  "people": {
    "alex": {
      "displayName": "Alex",
      "notes": [
        {
          "timestamp": "2026-01-29T12:05:00Z",
          "note": "Likes cats and doing late-night music practice",
          "source": "voice",
          "tags": ["pets", "music"]
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "index": {
    "music": ["alex"],
    "cats": ["alex"]
  }
}

• Names are normalized (lowercase keys) but store the display name.
• Each note captures timestamp, note, source, and tags.
• An index map keeps keywords → people for super-fast lookups.

CLI commands

Use the bundled script to manage the database:

skills/people-memories/scripts/people_memory.py <command> [options]

• remember --person Alex --note "loves chai" --tags drinks,preferences – adds a note.
• recall --person Alex --limit 3 – reads the latest notes.
• summarize --person Alex – prints fact card with counts, tags, last updates.
• search --query coffee – finds people whose notes mention “coffee”.
• export --person Alex --format md --out ~/Desktop/alex.md – dumps the notes as Markdown (or JSON).
• list – enumerates everyone stored plus note counts.

Auto capture (voice/chat)

The extensions/people-memories extension listens to /voice-chat transcripts. When you say something like “remember Alex likes cats,” it automatically runs the remember command and logs the note. The index updates in the background, and we keep confirmations quiet unless you explicitly ask for them.

Reminders & automation

Event metadata (type + date) is attached whenever a note mentions birthdays or anniversaries. A helper cron job runs python3 skills/people-memories/scripts/people_memory.py reminders --days 0 --window 7 --format message each morning and delivers the resulting digest over Telegram so you’re nudged about the next week’s birthdays/anniversaries without manual effort. If you prefer a different cadence or channel, rerun the command yourself or update the schedule.

Enhancements in this version

1. Smart indexing – Tags + keyword extraction keep the lookup index updated so searches find matching people even when you reuse adjectives.
2. Summaries & exports – Quickly produce a fact card or shareable Markdown/JSON of anyone’s notes.
3. Voice integration + logging – transcripts feed the database so you don’t type commands manually.
4. Structured data – normalized keys + timestamps plus tag metadata make it easy for other tools (cron, dashboards) to consume the memory store.

Next steps / nice-to-haves

• Add optional confirmation responses “Noted, saved for Alex.” via the runtime api.message helper.
• Integrate with reminders/cron so tagged notes like birthday trigger alerts.
• Build a simple watch UI (web or terminal) that previews the latest people cards.
