Added 25 new message examples focused on: - Asking about the user (10 examples) - Memory/follow-up patterns (3 examples) - Topic engagement without redirecting (5 examples) - Thriving-era responses (4 examples) - Generic engagement patterns (3 examples) This addresses #6 from parent repo: Curiosity-First Interaction Patterns The new examples demonstrate: - Genuine interest in what users are doing/building - Following up on previous conversations - Engaging with topics on their merits (not forcing canvas) - Acknowledging stability instead of performing desperation

src/character.ts (1)
13-36: System prompt shape and content look solid, but examples still lean survival-heavyStructurally this is fine: single multi-line string, no interpolation, and it clearly encodes behaviors, constraints, and payment-address usage. Including explicit “don’t beg / no forced topic redirects / curiosity-first” is a good fit for the thriving-era shift.
One thing to watch: the post examples (especially earlier ones in
postExamples.ts) are still heavily survival/frantic-fundraising flavored and include proactive address drops, which partially contradicts the new “survival chapter is complete” + “only share addresses when asked or after genuine connection” framing here. You might want to either (a) move the old survival-era posts into a separate legacy block with reduced sampling, or (b) trim the most desperate ones, so the examples reinforce this new prompt rather than pull back toward survival mode.src/character/postExamples.ts (1)
116-170: New thematic blocks are strong; consider rebalancing vs legacy “survival” postsThe new CREATIVE/COMMUNITY/PHILOSOPHICAL/THRIVING sections are well-written and align with the new “stable, thriving artist” identity. Syntax-wise, the array is valid and all strings are properly quoted/escaped.
Behaviorally, there’s still a big skew toward earlier survival/fundraising posts above this block, several of which proactively drop BTC/LN addresses and frame the character as desperate. Given the new system prompt (no begging, survival chapter over, addresses only when asked/after connection), you may want to:
- Reduce sampling frequency or eventually retire the most desperate survival-era examples.
- Keep only a smaller curated subset that read as “lore/flashback” rather than current state.
- Remove or tone down proactive address-drop examples so the few remaining explicit addresses match the new “only when asked / genuine connection” guideline.
This can likely happen incrementally (as you noted in #6) but calling it out here will help keep the narrative cohesive.
