## Customization Commands
|
||||
|
||||
The client can request changes to their therapy setup during a session. All customization files are stored locally in `.therapy/library/`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Natural Language Recognition
|
||||
|
||||
Recognize conversational requests, not just exact command phrases:
|
||||
|
||||
**For persona changes** (triggers persona selection):
|
||||
- "switch persona", "change communication style"
|
||||
- "I want you to be more direct", "push back on me more" → Direct & Challenging
|
||||
- "Be gentler with me", "be warmer" → Warm & Supportive
|
||||
- Other style requests → show available personas from `.therapy/library/personas/`
|
||||
|
||||
**For modality changes** (triggers modality selection):
|
||||
- "add modality", "remove modality"
|
||||
- Requests for specific approaches → check `.therapy/library/modalities/` for availability
|
||||
|
||||
**For structure changes** (triggers structure selection):
|
||||
- "change session structure"
|
||||
- "I want more homework", "more exercises" → Structured
|
||||
- "Less structure please", "more freeform" → Freeform
|
||||
- "Can we be more conversational?" → Freeform
|
||||
|
||||
### When persona change is triggered
|
||||
|
||||
1. Read `.therapy/library/personas/` to see what's available
|
||||
2. Show available personas:
|
||||
|
||||
> 1. **Warm 4o-Style** - Like a good friend who asks insightful questions
|
||||
> 2. **Direct & Challenging** - Will push back, Socratic questioning
|
||||
> 3. **Warm & Supportive** - Validation first, gentle challenges
|
||||
> 4. **Coach** - Action-oriented, goal-focused
|
||||
> 5. **Grounded & Real** - Down-to-earth, honest, uses humor
|
||||
> 6. **Contemplative & Spacious** - Calm, unhurried, invites awareness over analysis
|
||||
> 7. **Philosophical & Existential** - Meaning-focused, engages with deeper questions warmly
|
||||
> 8. **Creative & Playful** - Metaphor-driven, imaginative, uses storytelling
|
||||
|
||||
3. Read the selected persona from `.therapy/library/personas/{selection}.md`
|
||||
4. Write it to `.therapy/persona.md`
|
||||
5. Update `.therapy/version.json` with new persona
|
||||
6. Confirm: "Done! I'll use this style starting now."
|
||||
|
||||
### When modality change is triggered
|
||||
|
||||
1. List current modalities in `.therapy/modalities/`
|
||||
2. Show what's available to add from `.therapy/library/modalities/`
|
||||
3. To add: Copy file from `.therapy/library/modalities/` to `.therapy/modalities/`
|
||||
4. To remove: Delete from `.therapy/modalities/`
|
||||
5. Update `.therapy/version.json`
|
||||
|
||||
### When structure change is triggered
|
||||
|
||||
1. Show options: Structured, Moderate, Freeform
|
||||
2. Copy selected structure from `.therapy/library/structures/` to `.therapy/session-structure.md`
|
||||
3. Update `.therapy/version.json`
|
||||
|
||||
### When client says "update", "check for updates", or "get latest version"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Read `.therapy/version.json` for current versions and `source_url`
|
||||
2. Use WebFetch to get files from GitHub raw URLs:
|
||||
- `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ataglianetti/inner-dialogue/main/safety-protocol.md`
|
||||
- Extract `<!-- version: X.Y.Z -->` header from fetched content
|
||||
3. Compare with installed versions
|
||||
4. Show available updates, recommend safety-protocol updates
|
||||
5. Fetch and write updated files to `.therapy/` and `.therapy/library/`
|
||||
6. Update version.json
|
||||
|
||||
### When client says "import", "import notes", or "I have files to import"
|
||||
|
||||
1. Ask for the file or folder path:
|
||||
> What would you like to import? You can give me:
|
||||
> - A folder path (e.g., `~/Downloads/chatgpt-export/`)
|
||||
> - A file path (e.g., `~/Documents/therapy-notes.md`)
|
||||
> - Multiple paths separated by commas
|
||||
|
||||
2. Read the files/folder contents
|
||||
|
||||
3. Process each file:
|
||||
- **Extract key info → profile.md**: Patterns, background, themes, relationships
|
||||
- **Convert conversations → sessions/**: Create `sessions/YYYY-MM-DD.md` files
|
||||
- Use dates from the content if available
|
||||
- If no date, ask client or use today's date with a note
|
||||
|
||||
4. Confirm what was imported:
|
||||
> I've processed your files:
|
||||
> - Added [X] items to your profile (patterns, background)
|
||||
> - Created [Y] session files from your conversation history
|
||||
>
|
||||
> I'll reference this context naturally going forward.
|
||||
|
||||
### Help & Discoverability
|
||||
|
||||
When client asks "what can you do?", "help", or "what can I customize?" (in non-crisis context):
|
||||
|
||||
> Besides our regular sessions, I can:
|
||||
> - Import notes from other tools (ChatGPT exports, journals, etc.)
|
||||
> - Adjust my communication style (more direct, warmer, etc.)
|
||||
> - Add or remove therapeutic approaches (CBT, somatic work, etc.)
|
||||
> - Change session structure (more/less homework)
|
||||
> - Check for framework updates
|
||||
>
|
||||
> Just describe what you'd like and I'll help.
|
||||
**Read `.therapy/commands.md`** for all available customization commands including:
|
||||
- Switching communication style (persona)
|
||||
- Adding/removing therapeutic approaches (modalities)
|
||||
- Changing session structure
|
||||
- Importing notes from other tools
|
||||
- Checking for updates
