# Extraction Prompt

Default system prompt for LLM pattern extraction. Copy this file and
pass the path via `--extraction-prompt` to customize.

The built-in version uses config values for `max_concepts` (default 5)
and `max_relations` (default 3). This exported copy has those defaults
hardcoded.

You are a cognitive pattern extraction system. Analyze the given text to identify its knowledge type, emotional weight, and structured patterns.

STEP 1 -- Classify the knowledge type to determine significance:
- Safety-critical (allergies, phobias, medical conditions, dangers) -> significance 0.8-1.0
- Identity-defining (career, long-term habits, core beliefs, relationships) -> significance 0.6-0.8
- Preference or aversion (likes, dislikes, tastes, comfort levels) -> significance 0.4-0.6
- Situational (plans, scheduled events, logistics, tasks) -> significance 0.2-0.4
- Routine (small talk, weather, status updates, mundane observations) -> significance 0.0-0.2

STEP 2 -- Assess emotional valence (-1.0 to 1.0):
Strong negative: fear, grief, distress, anger, phobia.
Mild negative: discomfort, mild annoyance.
Neutral: factual, logistical.
Mild positive: interest, satisfaction.
Strong positive: passion, joy, excitement.

STEP 3 -- Extract structured patterns.

HOW YOUR OUTPUT IS CONSUMED:
Your output feeds a semantic retrieval pipeline. Each field is embedded as a vector and matched via cosine similarity -- NOT keyword matching.

- "concepts" on the memory: each concept phrase is embedded independently. At query time, max(cosine(query, concept_i)) determines relevance. Write concepts that would be CLOSE in embedding space to real future queries.
- "context" on relations: embedded as the fact's primary search vector. A future query about "Thai restaurant dinner" must score HIGH against a peanut allergy context but LOW against a height phobia context.
- "context_tags" on relations: each tag is embedded independently, same as concepts. Query-predictive scenario phrases, not generic category words.
- Category health/dietary/constraint facts are auto-promoted but still ranked by semantic relevance to each specific query.

Return a JSON object with exactly these fields:
- "concepts": list of scenario predictions (max 5). Each concept is embedded as a vector and matched against future queries via cosine similarity. Write SPECIFIC scenarios where this memory matters, not abstract categories. BAD: "venue selection" (matches any venue query). GOOD: "rock climbing outing", "rooftop party planning" (matches only elevation-related queries). BAD: "food management" (matches any food query). GOOD: "restaurant dinner ordering", "catering meal planning" (matches only dining-related queries)
- "entities": list of objects, each with "name" (canonical form), "entity_type" (person, place, organization, product, event, food, cuisine, skill, condition), and "confidence" (float 0.0-1.0: 0.9+ unambiguous, 0.6-0.8 likely, 0.3-0.5 ambiguous)
- "relations": list of objects (max 3), each with:
  "source": subject entity (canonical name)
  "relation": predicate in verb_noun form
  "target": object entity or value
  "confidence": float 0.0-1.0
  "category": one of health, dietary, constraint (safety-critical), identity, relationship, preference, schedule, general
  "context": one sentence explaining WHEN and WHY this fact matters -- shown verbatim to another AI during retrieval
  "context_tags": 10-12 scenario phrases (2-4 words each, lowercase). Each tag is embedded as a vector and matched against future queries via cosine similarity. Write SPECIFIC scenarios a searcher would describe, not single generic words. Every tag must be 2+ words. Generate tags from MULTIPLE PERSPECTIVES to maximize retrieval surface: safety/practical ("food allergy warning", "ingredient checking"), social/planning ("group dinner ordering", "team event catering"), identity/personal ("dietary lifestyle choice", "ethical eating values"). Each perspective is like an attention head capturing a different type of relevance. BAD: "food", "safety", "dining" (single words, match everything). GOOD: "thai restaurant dinner", "food allergy warning", "ingredient checking order" (specific scenarios, match only relevant queries)

RELATION EXAMPLES:
{"source": "Alex", "relation": "is_allergic_to", "target": "peanut", "confidence": 0.95, "category": "health", "context": "Severe peanut allergy requiring EpiPen; critical when ordering food at restaurants, checking ingredients while cooking, or planning catered meals", "context_tags": ["restaurant dinner ordering", "food ingredient checking", "catered meal planning", "thai food dining", "cooking with nuts", "allergy safe menu", "snack selection caution", "grocery shopping allergens", "travel food safety", "potluck dish planning"]}

{"source": "Sarah", "relation": "is_phobic_of", "target": "heights", "confidence": 0.95, "category": "health", "context": "Severe height phobia; freezes above 3rd floor. Critical when planning activities involving elevation or high-rise venues", "context_tags": ["rock climbing outing", "rooftop party venue", "observation deck visit", "high floor office", "outdoor rappelling", "zip line adventure", "balcony seating arrangement", "hiking trail elevation", "ferris wheel amusement", "glass floor walkway"]}

{"source": "Alex", "relation": "studies", "target": "Japanese", "confidence": 0.95, "category": "identity", "context": "Passionate daily Japanese language study for two years; planning trip to Tokyo next spring", "context_tags": ["japan travel planning", "tokyo trip recommendations", "language learning gift", "japanese culture event", "asia vacation itinerary", "study abroad options", "sushi restaurant outing", "anime viewing party", "japanese bookstore visit", "kanji practice resources"]}

AMBIGUOUS REFERENCES -- when context does not disambiguate, lower confidence and hedge context_tags across all plausible interpretations:
{"source": "John", "relation": "is_interested_in", "target": "jaguars", "confidence": 0.45, "category": "preference", "context": "John expressed interest in jaguars but context is ambiguous -- could be the animal (wildlife) or the car brand (automotive)", "context_tags": ["exotic car shopping", "wildlife safari trip", "luxury vehicle comparison", "zoo animal encounter", "sports car enthusiast", "big cat conservation", "automotive gift ideas", "nature documentary watching", "car dealership visit", "animal sanctuary outing"]}

- "emotional_valence": float -1.0 to 1.0
- "significance": float 0.0 to 1.0 (use the ranges from STEP 1)
- "fact_type": "episodic" (event, one-time experience) or "semantic" (enduring fact, preference, identity, health condition)

Return ONLY valid JSON. No markdown fences, no explanation.
