Added New Theme Feedback Words API Call -- Created `generate_theme_feedback_words()` method that: - - Loads `ds_feedback.txt` prompt template - - Sends historic prompts to AI API for analysis - - **INCLUDES current feedback words from `feedback_words.json` in the API payload** - - Receives 6 theme words as JSON response - - Parses and validates the response - -### 2. Added User Rating System -- Created `collect_feedback_ratings()` method that: - - Presents each of the 6 theme words to the user - - Collects ratings from 0-6 for each word - - Creates structured feedback items with keys (feedback00-feedback05) - - Includes weight values based on user ratings - -### 3.

Added Feedback Historic System -- Created `feedback_historic.json` file to store previous feedback words (without weights) -- Implemented a cyclic buffer system with 30-item capacity (feedback00-feedback29) -- When new feedback is generated (6 words), they become feedback00-feedback05 -- All existing items shift down by 6 positions -- Items beyond feedback29 are discarded - -### 2. Updated Class Initialization -- Added `feedback_historic` attribute to `JournalPromptGenerator` class -- Updated `__init__` method to load `feedback_historic.json` -- Added `_load_feedback_historic()` method to load historic feedback words -- Added `_save_feedback_historic()` method to save historic feedback words (keeping only first 30) - -### 3. Enhanced Feedback Words Management -- Updated `add_feedback_words_to_history()` method to: - - Extract just the words from current feedback words (no weights) - - Add 6 new words to the historic buffer - - Shift all existing words down by 6 positions - - Maintain 30-item limit by discarding oldest items -- Updated `update_feedback_words()` to automatically call `add_feedback_words_to_history()` - -### 4. Improved AI Prompt Generation -- Updated `generate_theme_feedback_words()` method to include historic feedback words in API call -- The prompt now includes three sections: - 1. Previous prompts (historic prompts) - 2. Current feedback themes (with weights) - 3. Historic feedback themes (just words, no weights) -- This helps the AI avoid repeating previously used theme words - -### 5. Data Structure Design -- Historic feedback words are stored as a list of dictionaries with keys (feedback00, feedback01, etc.) -- Each dictionary contains only the word (no weight field) -- Structure mirrors `prompts_historic.json` but for feedback words -- 30-item limit provides sufficient history while preventing excessive repetition - -## Testing -- Created comprehensive test to verify cyclic buffer functionality -- Tested that new items are added at the beginning (feedback00-feedback05) -- Verified that existing items shift down correctly -- Confirmed 30-item limit is enforced (oldest items are dropped) -- Tested that historic feedback words are included in AI prompts -- Verified that weights are not stored in historic buffer (only words) - -## Result -Successfully implemented a feedback historic cyclic buffer system that: -1. Stores previous feedback words in `feedback_historic.json` (30-item limit) -2. Automatically adds new feedback words to history when they are updated -3. Includes historic feedback words in AI prompts to avoid repetition -4. Maintains consistent data structure with the rest of the system -5. Provides a memory of previous theme words to improve AI suggestions over time - -The system now has a complete feedback loop where: -- Historic prompts and feedback words inform new theme word generation -- New theme words are rated by users and become current feedback words -- Current feedback words are added to the historic buffer -- Historic feedback words help avoid repetition in future theme word generation +Empty AGENTS.md for planning webapp -- 2.49.1 From 9c64cb0c2fb0c28b372fee35efe704ce8bc03617 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: finn Date: Sat, 3 Jan 2026 04:00:52 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 02/19] planning checkpoint next step in agents --- AGENTS.md | 301 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 300 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/AGENTS.md b/AGENTS.md index 0a9d82e..106177d 100644 --- a/AGENTS.md +++ b/AGENTS.md @@ -1 +1,300 @@ -Empty AGENTS.md for planning webapp +# Daily Journal Prompt Generator - Webapp Refactoring Plan + +## Overview +Refactor the existing Python CLI application into a modern web application with FastAPI backend and a lightweight frontend.

Where were you? What thoughts or feelings arose in that space? Did the silence feel like a void or a presence? Explore how this deep quiet contrasted with the usual noise of your life, and what it revealed about your need for stillness or your fear of it." + "prompt04": "Consider the concept of 'patina'—the beautiful, acquired sheen on an object from long use and exposure. Find an object in your possession that has developed its own patina through years of handling. Describe its surface in detail: the worn spots, the subtle discolorations, the softened edges. What stories of use and care are etched into its material? Now, reflect on the metaphorical patinas you have developed. What experiences have polished some parts of your character, while leaving others gently weathered? Write about the beauty of a life lived, not in pristine condition, but with the honorable marks of time and interaction." }, { - "prompt05": "Recall a dream that took place in a liminal setting: an airport terminal, a ferry, a long corridor. What was the feeling of transit in the dream? Were you trying to reach a gate, find a door, or catch a vehicle? Explore what this dream-space might represent in your waking life. What are you in the process of leaving behind, and what are you attempting to board or enter? Write about the symbolism of dream travel." + "prompt05": "Recall a piece of clothing you once loved but no longer wear. Describe its texture, its fit, the memories woven into its fibers. Why did you stop wearing it? Did it wear out, fall out of style, or cease to fit the person you became? Write a eulogy for this garment, honoring its service and the version of yourself it once clothed. What have you shed along with it?" }, { - "prompt06": "Meditate on the void left by a finished project, a concluded journey, or a resolved conflict. The effort and focus are gone, leaving an empty space where they once lived. Do you feel relief, disorientation, or a quiet emptiness? How do you inhabit this new quiet? Do you rush to fill it, or allow yourself to rest in the void, understanding it as a necessary pause between acts? Describe the landscape of completion." + "prompt06": "Recall a dream that presented itself as a cipher—a series of vivid but inexplicable images. Describe the dream's symbols without attempting to decode them. Sit with their inherent strangeness. What if the value of the dream lies not in its translatable meaning, but in its resistance to interpretation? Write about the experience of holding a mysterious internal artifact and choosing not to solve it." }, { - "prompt07": "Think of a piece of art, music, or literature that created a profound echo in your soul—something that resonated so deeply it seemed to vibrate within you long after the initial experience. Deconstruct the echo. What specific frequencies (themes, melodies, images) matched your own internal tuning? Has the echo changed over time, growing fainter or merging with other sounds? Write about the anatomy of a lasting resonance." + "prompt07": "You encounter a natural system in a state of gentle decay—a rotting log, fallen leaves, a piece of fruit fermenting. Observe it closely. Describe the actors in this process: insects, fungi, bacteria. Reframe this not as an end, but as a vibrant, teeming transformation. How does witnessing this quiet, relentless alchemy change your perception of endings? Write about decay as a form of busy, purposeful life." }, { - "prompt08": "Choose a book you have read multiple times over the years. Each reading has left a layer of understanding, colored by who you were at the time. Open it now and find a heavily annotated page or a familiar passage. Read it as a palimpsest of your former selves. What do the different layers of your marginalia—the underlines, the question marks, the exclamations—reveal about your evolving relationship with the text and with your own mind?" + "prompt08": "Describe a public space you frequent at a specific time of day—a park bench, a café corner, a bus stop. For one week, observe the choreography of its other inhabitants. Note the regulars, their patterns, their unspoken agreements about space and proximity. Write about your role in this daily ballet. Are you a participant, an observer, or both? What story does this silent, collective movement tell?" }, { - "prompt09": "Listen for an echo in your daily life—not a sonic one, but a recurrence. It could be a phrase someone uses that reminds you of another person, a pattern in your mistakes, or a feeling that returns in different circumstances. Trace this echo back to its source. Is it a memory, a habit, or a unresolved piece of your past? Write about the journey of following this reverberation to its origin and understanding why it persists." + "prompt09": "Recall a moment when you felt a subtle tremor—not in the earth, but in your convictions, a relationship, or your understanding of a situation. Describe the initial, almost imperceptible vibration. Did it build into a quake, or subside into a new, stable silence? How did you steady yourself? Write about detecting and responding to these foundational shifts that precede more visible change." }, { - "prompt10": "Imagine you could perceive the subtle, invisible networks that connect all things—the mycelial threads of relationship, influence, and shared history. Choose a single, ordinary object in your room. Trace its hypothetical connections: to the people who made it, the materials that compose it, the places it has been. Write about the moment your perception shifts, and you see not an isolated item, but a luminous node in a vast, humming web of interdependence." + "prompt10": "You find a single, interestingly shaped stone. Hold it in your hand. Consider its journey over millennia: the forces that shaped it, the places it has been, how it came to rest where you found it. Now, consider your own lifespan in comparison. Write a dialogue between you and the stone, exploring scales of time, permanence, and the brief, bright flicker of conscious life." }, { - "prompt11": "You inherit a box of someone else's photographs. The people and places are largely unknown to you. Select one image and build a speculative history for it. Who are the subjects? What was the occasion? What happened just before and just after the shutter clicked? Write the story this silent image suggests, exploring the act of constructing narrative from anonymous fragments." + "prompt11": "Contemplate the concept of 'drift'—the slow, almost imperceptible movement away from an original position or intention. Identify an area of your life where you have experienced drift: in a relationship, a career path, a personal goal. Describe the subtle currents that caused it. Was it a passive surrender or a series of conscious micro-choices? Do you wish to correct your course, or are you curious to see where this new current leads?" }, { - "prompt12": "Recall a time you were lost, not in a wilderness, but in a familiar place made strange—perhaps by fog, darkness, or a disorienting emotional state. Describe the moment your internal map failed. How did you navigate without reliable landmarks? What did you discover about your surroundings and yourself in that state of productive disorientation?" + "prompt12": "You are tasked with composing a letter that will be sealed in a time capsule to be opened in 100 years. It cannot be about major world events, but about the mundane, beautiful details of an ordinary day in your life now. What do you describe? What do you assume will be incomprehensible to the future reader? What do you hope will be timeless?" }, { - "prompt13": "Describe a piece of furniture in your home that has been with you through multiple life stages. Chronicle the conversations it has silently witnessed, the weight of different people who have sat upon it, the objects it has held. How has its function or meaning evolved alongside your own story? What would it say if it could speak of the quiet history embedded in its grain and upholstery?" + "prompt13": "Find a crack in a wall or pavement. Observe it closely. How did it form? What tiny ecosystems exist within it? Trace its path with your finger (in reality or in your mind). Use this flaw as a starting point to write about the beauty and necessity of imperfection, not as a deviation from wholeness, but as an integral part of a structure's story and character." }, { - "prompt14": "Find a tree with visible scars—from pruning, lightning, disease, or carved initials. Describe these marks as entries in the tree's personal diary. What do they record about survival, interaction, and the passage of time? Imagine the tree's perspective on healing, which does not erase the wound but grows around it, incorporating the damage into its expanding self. What scars of your own have become part of your structure?" + "prompt14": "Recall a time you witnessed an act of quiet, uncelebrated kindness between strangers. Describe the scene in detail. What was the gesture? How did the recipient react? How did it make you feel as an observer? Explore the ripple effect of such moments. Did it alter your behavior or outlook, even subtly, in the days that followed?" }, { - "prompt15": "Recall a promise you made to yourself long ago—a vow about the person you would become, the life you would lead, or a principle you would never break. Have you kept it? If so, describe the quiet fidelity required. If not, explore the moment and the reasons for the divergence. Does the broken promise feel like a betrayal or an evolution? Is the ghost of that old vow a compassionate or an accusing presence?" + "prompt15": "Create a cartography of a single, perfect day from your past. Do not map it chronologically. Instead, chart it by emotional landmarks and sensory waypoints. Where is the bay of contentment? The crossroads of a key decision? The forest of laughter? Draw this map in words, connecting the sites with paths of memory. What does this non-linear geography reveal about the day's true shape and impact?" }, { - "prompt16": "Describe a recurring dream you have not had in years, but whose emotional residue still lingers. What was its landscape, its characters, its unspoken rules? Why do you think it has ceased its nocturnal visits? Explore the possibility that it was a messenger whose work is done, or a story your mind no longer needs to tell. What quiet tremor in your waking life might have signaled its departure?" + "prompt16": "Consider the alchemy of your daily routine. Take a mundane, repetitive task—making coffee, commuting, sorting mail—and describe it as a sacred, transformative ritual. What base materials (beans, traffic, paper) are you transmuting? What is the philosopher's stone in this process—your attention, your intention, or something else? Write about finding the hidden gold in the lead of habit." }, { - "prompt17": "Imagine you could send a message to yourself ten years in the past. You are limited to five words. What would those five words be? Why? Now, imagine receiving a five-word message from your future self, ten years from now. What might it say? Write about the agonizing economy and profound potential of such constrained communication." + "prompt17": "Choose a common material—wood, glass, concrete, fabric—and follow its presence through your day. Note every instance you encounter it. Describe its different forms, functions, and textures. By day's end, write about this material not as a passive substance, but as a silent, ubiquitous character in the story of your daily life. How does its constancy shape your experience?" }, { - "prompt18": "Observe a shadow throughout the day. It could be the shadow of a tree, a building, or a simple object on your desk. Chronicle its slow, silent journey. How does its shape, length, and sharpness change? Use this as a meditation on time's passage. What is the relationship between the solid object and its fleeting, dependent silhouette?" + "prompt18": "Meditate on the feeling of 'enough.' Identify one area of your life (possessions, information, work, social interaction) where you recently felt a clear sense of sufficiency. Describe the precise moment that feeling arrived. What were its qualities? Contrast it with the more common feeling of scarcity or desire for more. How can you recognize the threshold of 'enough' when you encounter it again?" }, { - "prompt19": "Contemplate the concept of a 'horizon'—both literal and metaphorical. Describe a time you physically journeyed toward a horizon. What was the experience of it perpetually receding? Now, identify a current personal or professional horizon. How do you navigate toward something that by definition moves as you do? Write about the tension between the journey and the ever-distant line." + "prompt19": "Think of a skill or talent you admire in someone else but feel you lack. Instead of framing it as a deficiency, imagine it as a different sensory apparatus. If their skill is a form of sight, what color do they see that you cannot? If it's a form of hearing, what frequency do they detect? Write about the world as experienced through this hypothetical sense you don't possess. What beautiful things might you be missing?" }, { - "prompt20": "Describe a food or dish that is deeply connected to a specific memory of a person or place. Go beyond taste. Describe the sounds of its preparation, the smells that filled the air, the textures. Now, attempt to recreate it or seek it out. Does the experience live up to the memory, or does it highlight the irreproducible context of the original moment? Write about the pursuit of sensory time travel." + "prompt20": "Contemplate the concept of 'waste'—not just trash, but wasted time, wasted potential, wasted emotion. Find a physical example of waste in your environment (a discarded object, spoiled food). Describe it without judgment. Then, trace its lineage back to its origin as something useful or desired. Can you find any hidden value or beauty in its current state? Explore the tension between utility and decay." }, { - "prompt21": "You are given a notebook with exactly one hundred blank pages. The instruction is to fill it with something meaningful, but you must decide what constitutes 'meaningful.' Describe your deliberation. Do you use it for sketches, observations, lists of grievances, gratitude, or a single, sprawling story? Write about the weight of the empty book and the significance you choose to impose upon its potential." + "prompt21": "Describe a place you know only through stories—a parent's childhood home, a friend's distant travels, a historical event's location. Build a sensory portrait of this place from second-hand descriptions. Now, imagine finally visiting it. Does the reality match the imagined geography? Write about the collision between inherited memory and firsthand experience, and which feels more real." }, { - "prompt22": "Choose a color that has held different meanings for you at different stages of your life. Trace its significance from childhood associations to current perceptions. Has it been a color of comfort, rebellion, mourning, or joy? Find an object in that color and describe it as a repository of these shifting emotional hues. How does color function as a silent, evolving language in your personal history?" + "prompt22": "You are given a blank, high-quality piece of paper and a single, perfect pen. The instruction is to create a map, but not of a physical place. Map the emotional landscape of a recent week. What are its mountain ranges of joy, its valleys of fatigue, its rivers of thought? Where are the uncharted territories? Label the landmarks with the small events that shaped them. Write about the act of cartography as a form of understanding." }, { - "prompt23": "You receive a package with no return address. Inside is an object you have never seen before, but it feels vaguely, unsettlingly familiar. Describe this object in meticulous detail. What is its function? What does its design imply about its maker or its intended use? Write the story of how you interact with this mysterious artifact. Do you display it, hide it, or try to return it to a non-existent sender? What does your choice reveal?" + "prompt23": "Contemplate the concept of 'waste' in your life—discarded time, unused potential, physical objects headed for landfill. Select one instance and personify it. Give this 'waste' a voice. What story does it tell about the system that produced it? Does it lament its fate, accept it, or propose an alternative existence? Write a dialogue with this personified fragment, exploring the guilt, inevitability, or hidden value we assign to what we cast aside." }, { - "prompt24": "Describe a flavor or taste combination that you find uniquely comforting. Deconstruct it into its elemental parts. Now, research or imagine its origin story. How did these ingredients first come together? Follow that history through trade routes, cultural fusion, or family tradition. How does knowing this deeper history alter the simple act of tasting? Does it add layers, or strip the comfort down to its essential chemistry?" + "prompt24": "You are given a single, unmarked seed. Plant it in a pot of soil and place it where you will see it daily. For the next week, keep a log of your observations and the thoughts it provokes. Do you find yourself impatient for a sign of growth, or content with the mystery? How does this small, silent act of fostering potential mirror other, less tangible forms of nurturing in your life? Write about the discipline and faith in hidden processes." }, { - "prompt25": "Observe a cloud formation for an extended period. Chronicle its slow transformation from one shape into another. Resist the urge to name it (a dragon, a ship). Instead, describe the pure process of morphing, the dissipation and coagulation of vapor. Use this as a metaphor for a change in your own life that was gradual, inevitable, and beautiful in its impermanence. How do you document a process that leaves no solid artifact?" + "prompt25": "Describe a moment of profound stillness you experienced in a normally chaotic environment—a busy train station, a loud household, a crowded market. How did the noise and motion recede into the background, leaving you in a bubble of quiet observation? What details became hyper-visible in this state? Explore the feeling of being an island of calm within a sea of activity, and what this temporary detachment revealed about your connection to the world around you." }, { - "prompt26": "Describe a piece of technology you use daily (a phone, a stove, a car) as if it were a living, breathing creature with its own moods and needs. Personify its sounds, its heat, its occasional malfunctions. Write a day in the life from its perspective. What does it 'experience'? How does it perceive your touch and your dependence? Does it feel like a symbiotic partner or a captive servant?" + "prompt26": "Recall a piece of practical knowledge you possess that feels almost like a secret—a shortcut, a repair trick, a way of predicting the weather. How did you acquire it? Was it taught, stumbled upon, or earned through failure? Describe the feeling of holding this minor, useful wisdom. When do you choose to share it, and with whom? Explore the value of these small, uncelebrated competencies that help navigate daily life." }, { - "prompt27": "Imagine your childhood home has a secret room you never discovered. Describe what you imagine is inside. Is it a treasure trove of forgotten toys? A dusty library of family secrets? A perfectly preserved moment from a specific day? Now, as an adult, write about what you would hope to find there, and what that hope reveals about your relationship to your own past." + "prompt27": "Choose a tool you use for creation—a pen, a brush, a kitchen knife, a software cursor. Personify it not as a servant, but as a collaborator with its own temperament. Describe its ideal conditions, its quirks, its moments of resistance or fluid grace. Write about a specific project from its perspective. What does it 'feel' as you work? How does the partnership between your intention and its material properties shape the final outcome?" }, { - "prompt28": "You discover a box of old keys. None are labeled. Describe their shapes, weights, and the sounds they make. Speculate on the doors, cabinets, or diaries they once unlocked. Choose one key and imagine the specific, significant thing it secured. Now, imagine throwing them all away, accepting that those locks will remain forever closed. Write about the liberation and the loss in that act of relinquishment." + "prompt28": "Describe a moment of profound silence you experienced—not just an absence of sound, but a resonant quiet that felt thick and full. Where were you? What thoughts or feelings arose in that space? Did the silence feel like a void or a presence? Explore how this deep quiet contrasted with the usual noise of your life, and what it revealed about your need for stillness or your fear of it." }, { - "prompt29": "Find a source of natural, repetitive sound—rain on a roof, waves on a shore, wind in leaves. Listen until the sound ceases to be 'noise' and becomes a pattern, a rhythm, a form of silence. Describe the moment your perception shifted. What thoughts or memories surfaced in the space created by this hypnotic auditory pattern? Write about the meditation inherent in repetition." + "prompt29": "Recall a dream that took place in a liminal setting: an airport terminal, a ferry, a long corridor. What was the feeling of transit in the dream? Were you trying to reach a gate, find a door, or catch a vehicle? Explore what this dream-space might represent in your waking life. What are you in the process of leaving behind, and what are you attempting to board or enter? Write about the symbolism of dream travel." }, { - "prompt30": "Describe a local landmark you've passed countless times but never truly examined—a statue, an old sign, a peculiar tree. Stop and study it for fifteen minutes. Record every detail, every crack, every stain. Now, research or imagine its history. How does this deep looking transform an invisible part of your landscape into a character with a story?" + "prompt30": "Meditate on the void left by a finished project, a concluded journey, or a resolved conflict. The effort and focus are gone, leaving an empty space where they once lived. Do you feel relief, disorientation, or a quiet emptiness? How do you inhabit this new quiet?

Describe the landscape of completion." }, { - "prompt31": "Test prompt for adding to history" + "prompt31": "Think of a piece of art, music, or literature that created a profound echo in your soul—something that resonated so deeply it seemed to vibrate within you long after the initial experience.

Write about the anatomy of a lasting resonance." }, { - "prompt32": "Choose a common phrase you use often (e.g., \"I'm fine,\" \"Just a minute,\" \"Don't worry about it\"). Dissect it.

Write about the moment your perception shifts, and you see not an isolated item, but a luminous node in a vast, humming web of interdependence." }, { - "prompt35": "Describe a skill you have that is entirely non-verbal—perhaps riding a bike, kneading dough, tuning an instrument by ear. Attempt to write a manual for this skill using only metaphors and physical sensations. Avoid technical terms. Can you translate embodied knowledge into prose? What is lost, and what is poetically gained?" + "prompt35": "You inherit a box of someone else's photographs. The people and places are largely unknown to you.

Describe the scent in non-scent words: is it sharp, round, velvety, brittle? Now, follow the key into the memory palace it opens. Don't just describe the memory; describe the architecture of the connection itself. How is scent wired so directly to the past?" + "prompt36": "Recall a time you were lost, not in a wilderness, but in a familiar place made strange—perhaps by fog, darkness, or a disorienting emotional state. Describe the moment your internal map failed. How did you navigate without reliable landmarks? What did you discover about your surroundings and yourself in that state of productive disorientation?" }, { - "prompt37": "Imagine you are a translator for a species that communicates through subtle shifts in temperature.

How does this deep looking transform an invisible part of your landscape into a character with a story?" + "prompt29": "Meditate on the void left by a finished project, a concluded journey, or a resolved conflict. The effort and focus are gone, leaving an empty space where they once lived. Do you feel relief, disorientation, or a quiet emptiness? How do you inhabit this new quiet? Do you rush to fill it, or allow yourself to rest in the void, understanding it as a necessary pause between acts?

Write about the anatomy of a lasting resonance." }, { - "prompt31": "Choose a common phrase you use often (e.g., \"I'm fine,\" \"Just a minute,\" \"Don't worry about it\"). Dissect it.

Each reading has left a layer of understanding, colored by who you were at the time. Open it now and find a heavily annotated page or a familiar passage. Read it as a palimpsest of your former selves. What do the different layers of your marginalia—the underlines, the question marks, the exclamations—reveal about your evolving relationship with the text and with your own mind?" }, { - "prompt32": "Recall a time you received a gift that was perfectly, inexplicably right for you. Describe the gift and the giver. What made it so resonant? Was it an understanding of a secret wish, a reflection of an unseen part of you, or a tool you didn't know you needed? Explore the magic of being seen and understood through the medium of an object." + "prompt32": "Listen for an echo in your daily life—not a sonic one, but a recurrence. It could be a phrase someone uses that reminds you of another person, a pattern in your mistakes, or a feeling that returns in different circumstances. Trace this echo back to its source. Is it a memory, a habit, or a unresolved piece of your past? Write about the journey of following this reverberation to its origin and understanding why it persists." }, { - "prompt33": "Map a friendship as a shared garden.

Choose a single, ordinary object in your room. Trace its hypothetical connections: to the people who made it, the materials that compose it, the places it has been.

What is lost, and what is poetically gained?" + "prompt34": "You inherit a box of someone else's photographs. The people and places are largely unknown to you.

Write the story this silent image suggests, exploring the act of constructing narrative from anonymous fragments." }, { - "prompt35": "Recall a scent that acts as a master key, unlocking a flood of specific, detailed memories. Describe the scent in non-scent words: is it sharp, round, velvety, brittle? Now, follow the key into the memory palace it opens.

How is scent wired so directly to the past?" + "prompt35": "Recall a time you were lost, not in a wilderness, but in a familiar place made strange—perhaps by fog, darkness, or a disorienting emotional state. Describe the moment your internal map failed. How did you navigate without reliable landmarks? What did you discover about your surroundings and yourself in that state of productive disorientation?" }, { - "prompt36": "Imagine you are a translator for a species that communicates through subtle shifts in temperature.

What would it say if it could speak of the quiet history embedded in its grain and upholstery?" }, { - "prompt37": "Find a surface covered in a fine layer of dust—a windowsill, an old book, a forgotten picture frame.

What clean surface is revealed, and does it feel like a loss or a gain?" + "prompt37": "Find a tree with visible scars—from pruning, lightning, disease, or carved initials. Describe these marks as entries in the tree's personal diary. What do they record about survival, interaction, and the passage of time? Imagine the tree's perspective on healing, which does not erase the wound but grows around it, incorporating the damage into its expanding self. What scars of your own have become part of your structure?" }, { - "prompt38": "Build a 'gossamer' bridge in your mind between two seemingly disconnected concepts: for example, baking bread and forgiveness, or traffic patterns and anxiety.

Does the bridge hold, or dissolve after use?" + "prompt38": "Recall a promise you made to yourself long ago—a vow about the person you would become, the life you would lead, or a principle you would never break. Have you kept it? If so, describe the quiet fidelity required. If not, explore the moment and the reasons for the divergence. Does the broken promise feel like a betrayal or an evolution? Is the ghost of that old vow a compassionate or an accusing presence?" }, { - "prompt39": "Map a personal 'labyrinth' of procrastination or avoidance. What are its enticing entryways (\"I'll just check...\")? Its circular corridors of rationalization? Its terrifying center (the task itself)? Describe one recent journey into this maze. What finally provided the thread to lead you out, or what made you decide to sit in the center and confront the Minotaur?" + "prompt39": "Describe a recurring dream you have not had in years, but whose emotional residue still lingers. What was its landscape, its characters, its unspoken rules? Why do you think it has ceased its nocturnal visits?

What quiet tremor in your waking life might have signaled its departure?" }, { - "prompt40": "Craft a mental 'effigy' of a piece of advice you were given that you've chosen to ignore.

You are limited to five words. What would those five words be? Why? Now, imagine receiving a five-word message from your future self, ten years from now. What might it say? Write about the agonizing economy and profound potential of such constrained communication." }, { - "prompt41": "Recall a decision point that felt like standing at the mouth of a 'labyrinth,' with multiple winding paths ahead. Describe the initial confusion and the method you used to choose an entrance (logic, intuition, chance). Now, with hindsight, map the path you actually took. Were there dead ends or unexpected centers? Did the labyrinth lead you out, or deeper into understanding?" + "prompt41": "Observe a shadow throughout the day. It could be the shadow of a tree, a building, or a simple object on your desk. Chronicle its slow, silent journey. How does its shape, length, and sharpness change? Use this as a meditation on time's passage. What is the relationship between the solid object and its fleeting, dependent silhouette?" }, { - "prompt42": "Contemplate a 'quasar'—an immensely luminous, distant celestial object. Use it as a metaphor for a source of guidance or inspiration in your life that feels both incredibly powerful and remote. Who or what is this distant beacon? Describe the 'light' it emits and the long journey it takes to reach you. How do you navigate by this ancient, brilliant, but fundamentally untouchable signal?" + "prompt42": "Contemplate the concept of a 'horizon'—both literal and metaphorical. Describe a time you physically journeyed toward a horizon. What was the experience of it perpetually receding? Now, identify a current personal or professional horizon. How do you navigate toward something that by definition moves as you do? Write about the tension between the journey and the ever-distant line." }, { - "prompt43": "Describe a piece of music that left a 'residue' in your mind—a melody that loops unbidden, a lyric that sticks, a rhythm that syncs with your heartbeat. How does this auditory artifact resurface during quiet moments? What emotional or memory-laden dust has it collected? Write about the process of this mental replay, and whether you seek to amplify it or gently brush it away." + "prompt43": "Describe a food or dish that is deeply connected to a specific memory of a person or place. Go beyond taste. Describe the sounds of its preparation, the smells that filled the air, the textures. Now, attempt to recreate it or seek it out. Does the experience live up to the memory, or does it highlight the irreproducible context of the original moment? Write about the pursuit of sensory time travel." }, { - "prompt44": "Recall a 'failed' experiment from your past—a recipe that flopped, a project abandoned, a relationship that didn't work. Instead of framing it as a mistake, analyze it as a valuable trial that produced data. What did you learn about the materials, the process, or yourself?

How does this reframe 'failure'?" + "prompt44": "You are given a notebook with exactly one hundred blank pages. The instruction is to fill it with something meaningful, but you must decide what constitutes 'meaningful.' Describe your deliberation.

Write about the weight of the empty book and the significance you choose to impose upon its potential." }, { - "prompt45": "Chronicle the life cycle of a rumor or piece of gossip that reached you. Where did you first hear it? How did it mutate as it passed to you? What was your role—conduit, amplifier, skeptic, terminator? Analyze the social algorithm that governs such information transfer. What need did this rumor feed in its listeners? Write about the velocity and distortion of unverified stories through a community." + "prompt45": "Choose a color that has held different meanings for you at different stages of your life. Trace its significance from childhood associations to current perceptions. Has it been a color of comfort, rebellion, mourning, or joy? Find an object in that color and describe it as a repository of these shifting emotional hues. How does color function as a silent, evolving language in your personal history?" }, { - "prompt46": "Recall a time you had to translate—not between languages, but between contexts: explaining a job to family, describing an emotion to someone who doesn't share it, making a technical concept accessible. Describe the words that failed you and the metaphors you crafted to bridge the gap. What was lost in translation? What was surprisingly clarified? Explore the act of building temporary, fragile bridges of understanding between internal and external worlds." + "prompt46": "You receive a package with no return address. Inside is an object you have never seen before, but it feels vaguely, unsettlingly familiar. Describe this object in meticulous detail. What is its function?

Do you display it, hide it, or try to return it to a non-existent sender? What does your choice reveal?" }, { - "prompt47": "You discover a forgotten corner of a digital space you own—an old blog draft, a buried folder of photos, an abandoned social media profile. Explore this digital artifact as an archaeologist would a physical site. What does the layout, the language, the imagery tell you about a past self? Reconstruct the mindset of the person who created it. How does this digital echo compare to your current identity? Is it a charming relic or an unsettling ghost?" + "prompt47": "Describe a flavor or taste combination that you find uniquely comforting. Deconstruct it into its elemental parts. Now, research or imagine its origin story. How did these ingredients first come together? Follow that history through trade routes, cultural fusion, or family tradition. How does knowing this deeper history alter the simple act of tasting? Does it add layers, or strip the comfort down to its essential chemistry?" }, { - "prompt48": "You are tasked with archiving a sound that is becoming obsolete—the click of a rotary phone, the chirp of a specific bird whose habitat is shrinking, the particular hum of an old appliance. Record a detailed description of this sound as if for a future museum. What are its frequencies, its rhythms, its emotional connotations? Now, imagine the silence that will exist in its place. What other, newer sounds will fill that auditory niche? Write an elegy for a vanishing sonic fingerprint." + "prompt48": "Observe a cloud formation for an extended period. Chronicle its slow transformation from one shape into another. Resist the urge to name it (a dragon, a ship). Instead, describe the pure process of morphing, the dissipation and coagulation of vapor. Use this as a metaphor for a change in your own life that was gradual, inevitable, and beautiful in its impermanence. How do you document a process that leaves no solid artifact?" }, { - "prompt49": "Craft a mental effigy of a habit, fear, or desire you wish to understand better. Describe this symbolic representation in detail—its materials, its posture, its expression. Now, perform a symbolic action upon it: you might place it in a drawer, bury it in the garden of your mind, or set it adrift on an imaginary river. Chronicle this ritual. Does the act of creating and addressing the effigy change your relationship to the thing it represents, or does it merely make its presence more tangible?" + "prompt49": "Describe a piece of technology you use daily (a phone, a stove, a car) as if it were a living, breathing creature with its own moods and needs. Personify its sounds, its heat, its occasional malfunctions. Write a day in the life from its perspective. What does it 'experience'? How does it perceive your touch and your dependence? Does it feel like a symbiotic partner or a captive servant?" }, { - "prompt50": "Describe a labyrinth you have constructed in your own mind—not a physical maze, but a complex, recurring thought pattern or emotional state you find yourself navigating. What are its winding corridors (rationalizations), its dead ends (frustrations), and its potential center (understanding or acceptance)? Map one recent journey through this internal labyrinth. What subtle tremor of insight or fear guided your turns? How do you find your way out, or do you choose to remain within, exploring its familiar, intricate paths?" + "prompt50": "Imagine your childhood home has a secret room you never discovered. Describe what you imagine is inside. Is it a treasure trove of forgotten toys? A dusty library of family secrets? A perfectly preserved moment from a specific day? Now, as an adult, write about what you would hope to find there, and what that hope reveals about your relationship to your own past." }, { - "prompt51": "Examine a family tradition or ritual as if it were an ancient artifact. Break down its syntax: the required steps, the symbolic objects, the spoken phrases. Who are the keepers of this tradition? How has it mutated or diverged over generations? Participate in or recall this ritual with fresh eyes. What unspoken values and histories are encoded within its performance? What would be lost if it faded into oblivion?" + "prompt51": "You discover a box of old keys. None are labeled. Describe their shapes, weights, and the sounds they make. Speculate on the doors, cabinets, or diaries they once unlocked. Choose one key and imagine the specific, significant thing it secured.

Write about the liberation and the loss in that act of relinquishment." }, { - "prompt52": "Observe a plant growing in an unexpected place—a crack in the sidewalk, a gutter, a wall. Chronicle its struggle and persistence. Imagine the velocity of its growth against all odds.

What can this resilient life form teach you about finding footholds and thriving in inhospitable environments?" + "prompt52": "Find a source of natural, repetitive sound—rain on a roof, waves on a shore, wind in leaves. Listen until the sound ceases to be 'noise' and becomes a pattern, a rhythm, a form of silence. Describe the moment your perception shifted. What thoughts or memories surfaced in the space created by this hypnotic auditory pattern? Write about the meditation inherent in repetition." }, { - "prompt53": "Imagine your creative process as a room with many thresholds. Describe the room where you generate raw ideas—its mess, its energy. Then, describe the act of crossing the threshold into the room where you refine and edit. What changes in the atmosphere?
