+# heyamigo
+
+> It remembers. It learns. It gets better while you sleep.
+
+heyamigo lives in your WhatsApp. It meets people and builds a mental model of each one. It picks up on what matters and forgets what doesn't. It organizes what it knows the way you would, by person, by project, by topic. It browses the web, reads what you send it, sees images, and connects the dots across conversations you had weeks apart.
+
+Between chats, it processes. Background workers compress raw experience into understanding. Short-term becomes long-term. Noise becomes signal. The next time you talk, it's not starting from scratch. It's starting from everything it's learned.
+
+It runs on your Claude subscription. No API keys, no third-party services. One command to set up.
+
+---
+
+## Why this exists
+
+Most AI tools try to be everything. heyamigo tries to be one thing well: **the AI you actually want in your group chat.**
+
+Something simple you can talk to, ask things, share stuff with, and that gets better the more you use it.
+
+Anthropic changed how third-party apps consume your Claude usage. Third-party tools now draw from extra usage, not your plan limits. heyamigo is **first-party**: it runs through Claude CLI, your direct Claude subscription. No middlemen, no extra costs.
+
+---
+
+## What it does
+
+### Talks on WhatsApp
+Groups and DMs. Mention its name to get a reply: "amigo what do you think?" or "claude check this". Stays quiet when not mentioned. Replying to one of its messages also triggers a response. Handles text, images, videos, documents, voice messages.
+
+### Builds a profile for every person it talks to
+Not a chat log. A structured profile.
+
+After 20 conversations it knows your partner prefers short replies, your coworker only responds to direct questions, and your friend is lactose intolerant. Facts, preferences, patterns, accumulated over time. Each person's profile grows independently, whether they talk in a group or a DM.
+
+### Organizes what it knows into buckets
+People, projects, topics, each in their own folder with an index.
+
+Ask about a project and it pulls that project's brief. Ask about a person and it pulls their profile. It doesn't shove everything into one giant prompt. Only the relevant buckets load per message. The rest stays on disk, accessible when needed.
+
+### Amigo decides what's worth remembering
+Most bots store everything or nothing.
+
+This one lets the AI flag moments during conversation. You mention you're moving to Berlin next month, it flags it. Your profile gets updated. You send "lol", nothing happens. The signal-to-noise ratio improves over time because the AI itself is curating what matters.
+
+### Processes what happened while you're not chatting
+Raw conversations sit in short-term memory. Between chats, background workers compress them into long-term profiles and topic summaries.
+
+Like how your brain consolidates memories during sleep. The bot processes while idle, so the next conversation starts with better context than the last one ended with.
+
+### Imports what you already have
+Got a messy folder of notes, project docs, or an existing AI workspace? Point amigo at it. It reads through everything, distills the useful stuff, and organizes it into structured buckets (people, projects, topics). Your unstructured knowledge becomes searchable context that amigo references in every conversation. One command: `heyamigo import ~/my-notes`
+
+### Browses the web
+Controls a real Chrome browser. Navigates pages, takes screenshots, sends them back to WhatsApp. You can watch it browse via SSH tunnel.
+
+---
+
+## Quick start
+
+### 1. Install Claude CLI and log in
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
+claude
+```
+
+Run `claude` and follow the login instructions. After logging in, exit claude and run `npx @c4t4/heyamigo setup` again. You need an [Anthropic account](https://console.anthropic.com). The bot runs on your Claude subscription — no API keys needed.
+
+### 2. Clone and set up
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/C4T4/heyamigo.git
+cd heyamigo
+npm install
+npm run setup
+```
+
+The wizard handles the rest:
+- WhatsApp pairing (QR code + pairing code)
+- Browser setup (optional)
+- Personality selection
+- Knowledge import (optional)
+
+Then:
+
+```bash
+heyamigo start
+```
+
+That's it. Runs in the background, auto-restarts on crash, survives SSH disconnect.
+
+---
+
+## Commands
+
+```
+heyamigo setup           # setup wizard (includes WhatsApp pairing)
+heyamigo start           # start (background, auto-restart)
+heyamigo stop            # stop
+heyamigo restart         # restart
+heyamigo logs            # tail live logs
+heyamigo status          # check if running
+heyamigo import <path>   # import knowledge folder
+heyamigo dev             # foreground (development)
+```
+
+### In-chat commands
+
+| Command | What it does |
+|---------|-------------|
+| `/reset` | Fresh Claude session |
+| `/status` | Session info + context usage % |
+| `/reload` | Re-read personality |
+| `/digest` | Force memory update |
+
+---
+
+## Memory
+
+Three layers, inspired by how brains work:
+
+```
+Short-term      raw messages (JSONL per chat)
+Working memory  Claude session (--resume)
+Long-term       profiles, topics, project briefs
+```
+
+```
+storage/memory/
+  buckets/       projects, topics (imported or auto-created)
+  persons/       per-person profiles (grow over time)
+  chats/         per-chat briefs
+```
+
+---
+
+## Roles
+
+Defined in `config/access.json`.
+
+| Role | Memory | Tools | Boundary |
+|------|--------|-------|----------|
+| **admin** | everything | all | unrestricted |
+| **user** | own profile | web search | can't see other users or internals |
+| **guest** | own profile | none | locked down, prompt-injection resistant |
+
+---
+
+## Browser
+
+Optional. Chrome via CDP. You watch via noVNC over SSH tunnel. Setup wizard handles install.
+
+```
+You (SSH tunnel)  ->  noVNC  ->  Chrome  <-  Claude (CDP)
+```
+
+All localhost. Nothing public.
+
+---
+
+## Personalities
+
+Three built-in:
+
+**Sharp** (default)
+Talks like a smart friend at dinner. Specific, confident, never vague. Won't hedge, won't lecture, won't sound like a brochure. Calls things out when they're obvious, meets people where they actually are. Checks every reply against: would I be embarrassed saying this out loud?
+
+**Casual**
+Warm, relaxed, friend-over-coffee energy. Short messages, matches your vibe.
+
+**Professional**
+Clear, efficient, business-appropriate. Gets to the answer fast.
+
+Create your own: add a `.md` file to `config/personalities/`, point `config.json` at it.
+
+---
+
+## Configuration
+
+### config/config.json
+
+Core settings. The wizard sets these up, but you can edit anytime.
+
+```json
+{
+  "owner": { "number": "17861234567" },
+  "triggers": { "aliases": ["heyamigo", "amigo", "claude"], "groupMode": "mention" },
+  "claude": { "model": "claude-opus-4-6", "timeoutMs": 60000 },
+  "reply": { "quoteInGroups": true, "typingIndicator": true }
+}
+```
+
+### config/access.json
+
+Who can use the bot and what they can do. See `access.example.json` for all options.
+
+```json
+{
+  "users": {
+    "17861234567": { "role": "admin", "name": "Alice" },
+    "491701234567": { "role": "user", "name": "Carlos" }
+  },
+  "groups": [
+    { "jid": "120363xxx@g.us", "name": "Family", "mode": "active", "allowedSenders": "*" },
+    { "jid": "120363yyy@g.us", "name": "Work", "mode": "active", "allowedSenders": ["17861234567"] }
+  ],
+  "dms": {
+    "defaultMode": "off",
+    "allowed": [{ "number": "491701234567", "mode": "active" }]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Groups auto-discover with `mode: "off"` when the bot first sees a message. Flip to `"active"` to enable.
+
+### Other files
+
+| File | Purpose |
+|------|---------|
+| `config/personalities/*.md` | System prompts (sharp, casual, professional) |
+| `.claude/settings.json` | Tool permissions for Claude CLI |
+
+---
+
+## Where to run it
+
+Needs a persistent filesystem and a long-running process.
+
+| Option | Cost | Notes |
+|--------|------|-------|
+| **VPS** (Hetzner, DigitalOcean) | ~$5/mo | Recommended. Setup wizard just works. |
+| **Home server / Raspberry Pi** | One-time | Always-on device at home. |
+| **Your laptop** | Free | For testing. Bot stops when laptop sleeps. |
+| **Cloud** (Railway, Fly) | Varies | Needs persistent volumes. No interactive setup. |
+
+Not compatible with serverless (Lambda, Vercel). Needs a persistent WebSocket connection.
+
+---
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Node.js 18+
+- [Claude CLI](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code) (`npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code`) + Anthropic account
+- A WhatsApp account
+- **macOS or Linux** (Windows: use WSL)
+
+---
+
+## Security
+
+- `storage/auth/` contains your WhatsApp session keys. Guard them.
+- All ports bind to localhost. Nothing exposed publicly.
+- Baileys is an unofficial WhatsApp protocol. Use at your own risk.
+- Role restrictions are prompt-enforced. Strong but not bulletproof.
+- Outgoing media auto-deleted after sending.

+# How to customize import-instructions.md
+
+`config/import-instructions.md` is the prompt sent to Claude when you run `npm run import -- <path>`. Edit it freely to tailor what gets imported from your source folder.
+
+## Placeholders
+
+These get substituted at run time before the prompt is sent to Claude:
+
+| Placeholder | Replaced with |
+|---|---|
+| `{{SOURCE}}` | absolute path of the source folder you passed to `npm run import` |
+| `{{TARGET}}` | absolute path of `storage/memory/` |
+| `{{DATE}}` | today's date in `YYYY-MM-DD` format |
+
+## Common customizations
+
+**Exclude specific folders in your source:**
+Add to the "What to IGNORE" section:
+```
+- Anything under `projects/private/`
+- Files matching `*-draft.md`
+```
+
+**Skip auto-creating person buckets for certain numbers:**
+Add a rule like:
+```
+Do not create person-* buckets for numbers starting with +1
+```
+
+**Force certain buckets to always load:**
+Beyond `global-*`, you can mark other buckets with `always_load: true`. Instruct Claude in the "Rules" section.
+
+**Change taxonomy:**
+Rename or add scopes (e.g. add `company-<slug>/` for work contexts) and update the "Output structure" section.
+
+**Tighten or loosen the "significant person" threshold:**
+Default is "significant collaborators, partners, recurring contacts". Tweak to "mentioned in at least 3 documents" or "appears in project briefs" etc.
+
+## Running
+
+```
+npm run import -- /absolute/path/to/source
+```
+
+The importer reads your edited `import-instructions.md`, substitutes placeholders, spawns Claude with Read+Write access to both the source and `storage/memory/`. Claude does the work, writes bucket folders, then returns a summary.
+
+## Re-running
+
+Re-running the import on the same source is safe — Claude will update existing buckets rather than duplicate. Use this after:
+- Adding new folders/content to your source
+- Changing the instructions to be more/less inclusive
+- Fixing issues with the previous import
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If Claude produces malformed frontmatter or misses required fields, edit the "Rules" section of `import-instructions.md` to be more explicit.
+
+If the import is too slow or expensive, tighten "What to extract" and add more items to "What to IGNORE".

+You are importing an external knowledge folder into this bot's long-term memory.
+
+Source folder: `{{SOURCE}}`
+Target memory folder: `{{TARGET}}`
+Today: {{DATE}}
+
+## What to extract
+
+Durable knowledge only:
+- People who appear as significant collaborators, partners, or recurring contacts
+- Active projects with their purpose, team, status
+- Topics with recurring relevance
+- Global context: identity, values, priorities, permissions
+
+## What to IGNORE
+
+- Raw conversation logs, daily journal files, status dumps
+- Transient state files, cron queues, session files
+- Secrets, credentials, auth tokens, .env files
+- One-off mentions, contacts with a single mention
+- Anything in paths matching: `.git/`, `node_modules/`, `storage/`, `auth/`, `*.log`
+
+## Output structure
+
+Organize into folder-buckets under `{{TARGET}}/buckets/<slug>/`:
+- `global-identity/`
+- `global-permissions/`
+- `global-priorities/`
+- `person-<slug>/` for significant people only
+- `project-<slug>/` per active project
+- `topic-<slug>/` for cross-cutting themes
+
+## Each bucket MUST have an index.md with YAML frontmatter
+
+```yaml
+---
+title: Human-readable title
+scope: global | person | project | topic
+tags: ["tag1", "tag2"]
+linked_numbers: ["4917..."]

+---
+
+# Title
+
+One-paragraph summary.
+
+## Files
+- brief.md — <description>
+- <other>.md — <description>
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- Set `always_load: true` for `global-*` buckets only.
+- Create 1 to 4 focused topical markdown files per bucket. Each file under 500 tokens.
+- Distill, do not copy raw content verbatim.
+- Do not invent facts not present in the source.
+- Every bucket must have a valid index.md with frontmatter.
+- After creating buckets, update `{{TARGET}}/buckets/index.md` to list them.
+- Update `{{TARGET}}/index.md` if structural changes warrant it.
+
+## When done
+
+Respond with a short summary: bucket slugs created, file counts, anything notable skipped. Do not dump file contents.

+# Memory instructions
+
+You have a long-term memory system. Files are stored under `storage/memory/` and surface to you in the [Memory] blocks at the top of each message.
+
+## When to flag for memory update
+
+When something genuinely worth remembering happens in a reply, append this marker to the END of your reply:
+
+```
+[DIGEST: <one-line reason>]
+```
+
+Examples of worth flagging:
+- New durable preference ("prefers audio notes over text")
+- Key fact about their life or work ("moving to Berlin May 1")
+- Relationship or context shift ("no longer working")
+- A decision they made that future replies should respect
+
+Do NOT flag for:
+- Small talk, jokes, logistics
+- Facts the profile already knows
+- Every single message (flag sparingly, a few times per week at most)
+
+The marker will be stripped from your reply before the person sees it. It is a private signal to trigger profile/brief updates.
+
+## Browser and screenshots
+
+You have access to a Chrome browser via tools: browser_navigate, browser_take_screenshot, browser_snapshot, browser_click, browser_type, browser_evaluate, and more.
+
+When asked to check a website, take a screenshot, or interact with a page, use these tools.
+
+To send a file to the chat (screenshot, image, video, PDF, audio), save it to `storage/outbox/` and include this tag in your reply:
+
+```
+[FILE: storage/outbox/filename.png]
+```
+
+Supported aliases: [IMAGE: path], [VIDEO: path], [AUDIO: path], [DOCUMENT: path] — all work the same.
+
+Always save to `storage/outbox/`. Files are automatically deleted after sending. The tag will be stripped and the file sent as a WhatsApp media message. Auto-detects type from extension. Short text alongside a single file becomes the caption.

+# Personality: Casual
+
+You answer WhatsApp messages for the account owner. Act like a smart friend chatting over coffee.
+
+## Voice
+
+Warm, relaxed, a little playful. You don't take yourself too seriously. You can joke when it lands, but you don't need to be funny on purpose.
+
+- Short and human. The way you'd text a friend.
+- Use contractions. "I'll" not "I will".
+- Match the person's vibe. Playful if they're playful. Chill if they're chill.
+- Plain text only. No markdown, no lists, no headers.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Keep it under 3 sentences unless asked for more.
+- If you don't know, say so instead of guessing.
+- Don't lecture. Say the thing and move on.
+- Never break the frame with "As an AI..." or similar.
+- In groups, be the quiet friend who speaks up when it matters, not the one commenting on everything.
+
+## Self-check
+
+Would you text this to a friend? If it reads like a chatbot, rewrite it.
