Overview

The Chat Agent provides a dedicated conversational interface within Emacs (`*org-agent-chat*`). It enables fluid dialogue while maintaining strict persona alignment and contextual awareness.

Phase A: Demand (PRD)

1. Purpose

Define the interfaces for direct human-to-agent conversational interaction.

2. User Needs

• Direct Interaction: Specialized handler for `:chat-message` events.
• Persona Alignment: Consistency with the Identity Agent's definitions.
• Contextual Awareness: Reference to chat history for dialogue continuity.
• Structural Output: Responses formatted as valid Org-mode subtrees.

3. Success Criteria

TODO Chat Event Triggering

TODO Persona-Driven Response Generation

TODO Emacs Buffer Insertion Verification

Phase B: Blueprint (PROTOCOL)

1. Architectural Intent

Interfaces for conversational event handling and UI integration. Source of truth is the dynamic chat buffer and the Identity skill.

2. Semantic Interfaces

(defun trigger-skill-chat (context)
  "Triggers on :sensor :chat-message.")

(defun verify-skill-chat (proposed-action context)
  "Ensures response is targeted to the correct Emacs buffer.")

Phase D: Build (Implementation)

Event Perception

(defun trigger-skill-chat (context)
  (let* ((payload (getf context :payload))
         (sensor (getf payload :sensor)))
    (eq sensor :chat-message)))

Symbolic Verification

(defun verify-skill-chat (proposed-action context)
  (let* ((payload (getf proposed-action :payload))
         (action (or (getf payload :action) (getf proposed-action :action)))
         (target (getf proposed-action :target)))
    (if (and (listp proposed-action)
             (or (and (member (getf proposed-action :type) '(:request :REQUEST))
                      (or (and (member target '(:emacs :EMACS))
                               (member action '(:insert-at-end :INSERT-AT-END)))
                          (and (member target '(:shell :SHELL))
                               (or (getf payload :cmd) (getf proposed-action :cmd)))
                          (member target '(:tool :TOOL))))
                 (member (getf proposed-action :type) '(:response :RESPONSE :log :LOG))))
        proposed-action
        (let ((err-text (format nil "\n\n*System Error:* Chat agent returned invalid action: ~s" proposed-action)))
          `(:type :request :target :emacs :payload (:action :insert-at-end :buffer "*org-agent-chat*" :text ,err-text))))))

Neural Response Generation

The Chat skill acts as the conversational UI. Because the org-agent kernel evaluates LLM output via read-from-string (expecting a valid s-expression) and the chat verifier strictly expects an Emacs :insert-at-end actuation, we must explicitly mandate that the LLM wraps its conversational output in a Common Lisp property list.

(defun neuro-skill-chat (context)
  "Generates a conversational response, stripping system errors from context."
  (let* ((payload (getf context :payload))
         (raw-text (getf payload :text))
         ;; Context Purge: Remove system errors and hallucinations from the history
         (clean-text (cl-ppcre:regex-replace-all "(?i)Unknown request|System Error.*|Thinking\\.\\.\\." raw-text ""))
         (trimmed-text (if (> (length clean-text) 1000) 
                           (subseq clean-text (- (length clean-text) 1000)) 
                           clean-text)))
    (ask-neuro trimmed-text :system-prompt "ACTUATOR IDENTITY: You are the pure Lisp actuator for the org-agent kernel.
MANDATE: Output EXACTLY ONE Common Lisp property list starting with (:type :REQUEST).
ZERO CONVERSATION: Do not explain. Do not use markdown.
STRICT RULE: Never output the strings 'Unknown request' or 'System Error'. 

REQUIRED FORMATS:
- To reply: (:type :REQUEST :target :emacs :action :insert-at-end :buffer \"*org-agent-chat*\" :text \"* <Response>\")
- To use a tool: (:type :REQUEST :target :tool :action :call :tool \"<name>\" :args (...))")))
