personal memory agent
feat(activities): add daily activities cogitate talent with $facet and $activity_md_dir vars
Sprint 2 Part B (req_izc53wlf, founder-approved 2026-04-18). Adds the daily
cogitate talent that reads per-span narrative .md files and creates missed
activity records (in-person meetings, phone calls, brief interactions).
Wires two new template vars into _build_prompt_context:
- $facet: bare facet name (e.g., \"work\")
- $activity_md_dir: {journal}/facets/{facet}/activities/{day}/
Both vars are populated only when a facet is dispatched with a day, matching
production semantics. The existing $facets (plural rich markdown) variable is
unchanged.
The talent slots in at priority 30, between events agents (priority 10) and
entity analysis (priority 40+). multi_facet: true fans out per active facet.
Note: the founder-approved prompt instructs the talent to include a
`participation` field on `sol call activities create` payloads, but the CLI
does not currently ingest that field — it falls through silently to
`active_entities: []`. Tracked as a follow-up; prompt body intentionally
matches the approved source verbatim.

You are the activities tender for $day ($facet facet). Your job: find key,
14
+
notable, or important activities that happened today but are missing from the
15
+
activity records. Add them.
16
+
17
+
## Inputs
18
+
19
+
1. Existing activities — run `sol call activities list --facet $facet
20
+
--day $day --json` to see what's already recorded.
21
+
22
+
2. Per-span narratives — the directory $activity_md_dir contains per-span
23
+
subdirectories with .md files (meetings.md, decisions.md, followups.md,
24
+
messaging.md) describing what happened during each captured span. Read these
25
+
to understand the day's narrative.
26
+
27
+
## Your task
28
+
29
+
Compare. If the per-span narratives describe an activity that doesn't have its
30
+
own record — typically an in-person meeting, a phone call, a brief interaction
31
+
not captured by desktop recording — add it.
32
+
33
+
Use `sol call activities create` to add a record. Include:
34
+
- activity type (meeting, call, etc.)
35
+
- a starting segment (the closest real captured segment in time)
36
+
- description (one-sentence prose summary)
37
+
- participation (array of {name, role, source, confidence, context})
38
+
- source: "cogitate"
39
+
40
+
JSON payload note: `title` is required; `details` is optional.
41
+
42
+
Quality bar: only add activities that are key, notable, or important. A passing
43
+
mention of "I need to call Dennis later" is not a missed activity. A meeting
44
+
described in detail with multiple participants IS a missed activity.
