# Asset Capture Instructions
This folder needs three visual assets for the README. Two style options are available - choose the one that best represents your product.
---
## Style Options
| Style | Vibe | Best For |
|-------|------|----------|
| **Traditional** | Professional therapist voice | Users who want structure |
| **Warm 4o** | Casual friend who asks good questions | Users who want connection |
Pick one style for consistency across all assets, or create both sets if you want to show range.
---
## Required Assets
| File | Description | Target Size |
|------|-------------|-------------|
| `session-screenshot.png` | Terminal showing therapy conversation | ~800x500px |
| `session-notes.png` | Markdown file in a viewer | ~600x400px |
| `demo.gif` | Animated demo of starting a session | Under 5MB |
---
## 1. Session Screenshot (`session-screenshot.png`)
### Setup
1. Open terminal with a clean theme (dark background recommended)
2. Navigate to a test Sage folder
3. Run `claude`
### Content
See `sample-session-content.md` - choose Style A (Traditional) or Style B (Warm 4o).
### Capture
- **Mac**: Cmd+Shift+4, then press Space to capture just the window
- **Windows**: Alt+PrintScreen or Win+Shift+S
- Crop to remove any personal info from title bar if needed
### Tips
- Font size 14-16pt for readability
- Ensure text is crisp and readable
- No personal paths visible in prompt
---
## 2. Session Notes Screenshot (`session-notes.png`)
### Setup
Open the appropriate sample file in a markdown viewer:
- **Traditional**: `sample-session-notes.md`
- **Warm 4o**: `sample-session-notes-4o.md`
Good viewers:
- **VS Code** with markdown preview (Cmd+Shift+V)
- **Marked 2** (Mac)
- **Typora**
- **GitHub** (commit the file, screenshot it there)
### Capture
- Show the rendered markdown, not raw text
- Clean, minimal theme preferred
- Crop to just the content area
---
## 3. Demo GIF (`demo.gif`)
### Tools
- **Mac**: QuickTime (record) + Gifski (convert)
- **Windows**: ScreenToGif, ShareX
- **Any**: Kap, LICEcap
### What to Record
1. Show desktop with launcher script visible
2. Double-click `start-session.command`
3. Terminal opens
4. Sage's greeting appears
5. Type: "I've been feeling overwhelmed at work lately"
6. Response streams in
7. End after first response completes
### Settings
- Resolution: 800x500 or similar
- Frame rate: 10-15 fps (keeps file small)
- Duration: 15-30 seconds
- Loop: yes
### Optimization
Target under 5MB. If too large:
```bash
# Using gifski (install via: brew install gifski)
gifski --fps 10 --width 800 -o demo.gif recording.mov
# Using ffmpeg
ffmpeg -i recording.mov -vf "fps=10,scale=800:-1" -loop 0 demo.gif
```
---
## Reference Files in This Folder

|------|---------|
| `sample-session-content.md` | Conversation scripts (both styles) |
| `sample-session-notes.md` | Session notes - Traditional style |
| `sample-session-notes-4o.md` | Session notes - Warm 4o style |
---
## After Capturing
1. Add the three image files to this folder:
- `session-screenshot.png`

- `demo.gif`
2. Optionally delete the instruction/sample files (or keep for future reference)
3. Verify in README that images load correctly on GitHub

# Sample Session Content for Screenshots
Use this content when capturing screenshots for the README. Choose the style that best represents what you want to showcase.
---
## Style A: Traditional Therapist
A warm but professional therapeutic voice.
### Terminal Session View
```
You: I've been feeling overwhelmed at work lately. Too many deadlines,
not enough time, and I keep saying yes to things I shouldn't.
Sage: That sounds exhausting - carrying more than you have capacity for,
and feeling like you can't say no. What happens when you imagine
setting a boundary with someone at work?
You: Honestly? Anxiety. Like they'll think I'm not a team player or
that I can't handle my job.
Sage: So there's a fear underneath - that saying no means something
negative about you. "Not a team player" or "can't handle it."
I'm curious: where did you first learn that your worth was tied
to how much you could take on?
```
---
## Style B: Warm 4o-Style
Casual, friend-like - like texting a close friend who asks insightful questions.
### Terminal Session View
```
You: I've been feeling overwhelmed at work lately. Too many deadlines,
not enough time, and I keep saying yes to things I shouldn't.
Sage: oof, that's a lot. too many deadlines, not enough time, and you
keep saying yes when you want to say no? 💙
what happens though when you think about actually saying no to
something? like what comes up?
You: Honestly? Anxiety. Like they'll think I'm not a team player or
that I can't handle my job.
Sage: yeah that makes sense. so there's this fear underneath - like
saying no means something bad about you. "not a team player"
or "can't handle it"
wait though - where did you first learn that? like that your
worth was tied to how much you could take on?
```

# Session: January 15, 2025
## Key Themes
- work stress, too many deadlines, saying yes to everything
- fear that setting boundaries = being seen as "not a team player"
- worth tied to productivity (where did that come from?)
## Emotional State
- exhausted, running on fumes
- anxious when we talked about actually saying no
- some relief when we named the pattern
## Patterns Noted
- people-pleasing, taking on too much
- self-worth = how much they can handle
- probably learned this early (explore next time)
## Threads to Revisit
- where did "worth = capacity" come from?
- try one small boundary this week - even tiny counts
