Routine Memory

Carry state between runs of a scheduled routine using Hindsight memory.

by vectorize-io · MIT

The skill

Carry state between runs of a scheduled routine using Hindsight memory. Use when creating or editing a routine, to write the recall and retain steps into the routine's own instructions, and at the start and end of every scheduled or event-triggered routine run.

Remember between routine runs

A routine runs again and again. Without memory each run starts from zero, repeats work and misses what changed. Read the last run before starting, and record this run before finishing.

When creating or editing a routine

Write the memory steps into the routine's own instructions, so every run carries them even when nobody is in the chat:

  • First: "Recall the last run of <routine name> from Hindsight and use it."
  • Last: "Retain a run note to Hindsight: what this run found, what changed, and what the next run should check first."

Tell the user you added them.

At the start of the run

  1. Call recall on this Bot's bank with the query "last run of <routine name>".
  2. Use it: skip what was already handled, pick up what was left open, and compare against what the last run found.

At the end of the run

  1. Call retain on this Bot's bank with a note covering: the routine name, the date, what this run found, what changed since the last run, and what the next run should check first. Retain a note even when nothing changed, so the next run knows when this one looked.
  2. Use the tags source:grok-bot, bot:<bot-name> and routine:<routine name>.
  3. If the run found something other Bots should act on, also retain it to grok-bot::shared (see the bot-handoff skill).
