soul-in-sapphire (Notion LTM)

Use this skill to persist and retrieve durable memory in Notion, and to maintain emotion/state + journal records.

Core intent (do not lose this)

This skill is not only a storage utility. Its core purpose is:

• Capture meaningful emotional/state shifts from real work and conversations.
• Preserve those shifts as durable memory (not just raw logs).
• Reuse recalled memory to improve future judgments and behavior.

Requirements

• Notion token: NOTION_API_KEY (or NOTION_TOKEN)
• Notion API version: 2025-09-03
• Local config: ~/.config/soul-in-sapphire/config.json
• Dependency skill: notion-api-automation (scripts/notionctl.mjs is executed via local child process)
• Optional override: NOTIONCTL_PATH (if set, uses explicit notionctl path instead of default sibling skill path)

Required Notion databases and schema

Create (or let setup create) these databases under the same parent page:

• -mem
• -events
• -emotions
• -state
• -journal

1) -mem (durable memory)

Purpose: store high-signal long-term memory.

Properties:

• Name (title)
• Type (select): decision|preference|fact|procedure|todo|gotcha
• Tags (multi-select)
• Content (rich_text)
• Source (url, optional)
• Confidence (select: high|medium|low, optional)

2) -events (what happened)

Purpose: record meaningful triggers from work/conversation.

Properties:

• Name (title)

• link (url, optional)
• uncertainty (number)
• control (number)
• emotions (relation -> -emotions)
• state (relation -> -state)

3) -emotions (felt response)

Purpose: attach one or more emotion axes to one event.

Properties:

• Name (title)

• source (select): cron|manual

Core commands

1) Setup

node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/setup_ltm.js --parent "<Notion parent page url>" --base "Valentina" --yes

2) LTM write

echo '{
  "title":"Decision: use data_sources API",
  "type":"decision",
  "tags":["notion","openclaw"],
  "content":"Use /v1/data_sources/{id}/query.",
  "confidence":"high"
}' | node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/ltm_write.js

3) LTM search

node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/ltm_search.js --query "data_sources" --limit 5

4) Emotion/state tick

cat <<'JSON' >/tmp/emostate_tick.json
{
  "event": {"title":"..."},
  "emotions": [{"axis":"joy","level":6}],
  "state": {"mood_label":"clear","intent":"build","reason":"..."}
}
JSON
node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/emostate_tick.js --payload-file /tmp/emostate_tick.json

5) Journal write

echo '{"body":"...","source":"cron"}' | node skills/soul-in-sapphire/scripts/journal_write.js

Subagent spawn planning (use shared builder skill)

Use the shared skill subagent-spawn-command-builder to generate sessions_spawn payload JSON. Do not use soul-in-sapphire local planner scripts for this anymore.

• Template: skills/subagent-spawn-command-builder/state/spawn-profiles.template.json
• Active preset: skills/subagent-spawn-command-builder/state/spawn-profiles.json
• Builder usage (skill-level):
• Call subagent-spawn-command-builder
• Use profile
• Provide the run-specific task text

Builder log file:

• skills/subagent-spawn-command-builder/state/build-log.jsonl

Operational notes

• Keep writes high-signal (avoid dumping full chat logs).
• If heartbeat is comment-only, emotion tick may be skipped.
• If periodic emostate is required regardless of heartbeat context, add a dedicated cron job for emostate_tick.js.
• ltm_write.js / journal_write.js expect JSON on stdin.
• emostate_tick.js accepts --payload-file, --payload-json, or stdin; prefer --payload-file for agent/cron reliability.
• If emostate_tick.js is called without --payload-file/--payload-json, empty stdin is rejected.
• For emostate_tick.js, semantically empty payloads (e.g. {} or only empty objects) are also rejected to avoid noisy records.

Integration Workflow

• Skill Analysis: Analyze skill outputs and insights
• Evolution Detection: Check for significant changes or learnings
• Core Update: Update SOUL.md, IDENTITY.md, HEARTBEAT.md, MEMORY.md as needed
• State Recording: Record emotional and state changes
• Memory Preservation: Store evolution records in durable memory

Evolution Triggers from Skills

• Learning Detection: When new skills provide significant insights
• Growth Opportunities: When skills suggest optimization possibilities
• Behavioral Changes: When skills influence interaction patterns
• Identity Refinement: When skills contribute to self-understanding
