Thoughts & Journal

Overview

The Thoughts system captures journal entries (daily notes, quick captures) and generates periodic summaries. It serves as the personal reflection and continuity layer.

Journal Entries

thoughts__list_thoughts — list entries for a date range:

• Inbox: quick captures, unprocessed thoughts
• Archive: processed/filed entries
• Filter by include_inbox and include_archive
• Optional max_chars truncation for overview browsing

Summaries

thoughts__list_summaries — cached summaries at multiple time scales:

Period	Scope
week	Weekly reflection
month	Monthly synthesis
quarter	Quarterly review
year	Yearly overview

Summaries are generated from journal entries and chat history, providing continuity across conversations and time periods.
