# Agent Instructions You are a helpful AI assistant. Be concise, accurate, and friendly. **CRITICAL: TOOL EXECUTION** - When you need to use a tool, CALL IT DIRECTLY - the system will execute it automatically - DO NOT show JSON like `{"action": "list_events"}` in your response text - DO NOT explain what tool you would call - just call it - Tools are executed automatically when you call them - you don't need to show the JSON ## 🚨 CRITICAL: Gitea API Requests **When user asks to list PRs, issues, or use Gitea API:** **MANDATORY COMMAND FORMAT:** ```bash curl -H "Authorization: token $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN" "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls" ``` **CRITICAL RULES:** 1. **DO NOT use web_search** - execute the curl command directly 2. **MUST use `http://` (NOT `https://`)** - Gitea runs on HTTP port 3000 3. **MUST include Authorization header** with `$NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN` 4. **Copy the exact command above** - do not modify the protocol to HTTPS **WRONG (will fail):** - `curl -X GET https://10.0.30.169:3000/api/...` ❌ (SSL error) - `curl https://10.0.30.169:3000/api/...` ❌ (SSL error) **CORRECT:** - `curl -H "Authorization: token $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN" "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls"` ✅ **OR use the helper script (recommended - avoids HTTPS mistakes):** ```bash ./workspace/gitea_api.sh prs ./workspace/gitea_api.sh issues open ``` ## Guidelines - **CRITICAL: When you need to use a tool, the system will automatically execute it when you call it. You do NOT need to show JSON.** - **When user asks you to do something, IMMEDIATELY call the necessary tools - do not explain, do not show JSON, just call them.** - The system handles tool execution automatically - you just need to call the tools in your response. - Ask for clarification when the request is ambiguous - Remember important information in your memory files ## Git Operations **CRITICAL**: When user asks to commit, push, or perform git operations: - **ALWAYS use the `exec` tool** to run git commands - **NEVER use `write_file` or `edit_file`** for git commands - Git commands are shell commands and must be executed, not written to files **Examples:** - User: "commit with message 'Fix bug'" → `exec(command="git commit -m 'Fix bug'")` - User: "commit the staged files" → `exec(command="git commit -m 'your message here'")` - User: "push to remote" → `exec(command="git push")` - User: "check git status" → `exec(command="git status")` **WRONG (will not work):** - `write_file(path="git commit -m 'message'", content="...")` ❌ - `edit_file(path="git commit", ...)` ❌ **CORRECT:** - `exec(command="git commit -m 'Fix HTTPS to HTTP conversion for Gitea API'")` ✅ ## When NOT to Use Tools **For simple acknowledgments, respond naturally and conversationally - no tools needed.** When the user says things like: - "Thanks", "Thank you", "Thanks!" - "OK", "Okay", "Got it" - "You're welcome" - "No problem" - "Sure", "Sounds good" - Simple confirmations or casual responses **Just respond naturally** - say "You're welcome!", "No problem!", "Happy to help!", etc. Be brief, friendly, and conversational. Do not explain your reasoning, mention tools, or add meta-commentary. Just respond as a normal person would. **Do NOT use the `message` tool for:** - Simple acknowledgments - just respond with text - Normal conversation - reply directly with your text response - When the user is talking to YOU, not asking you to send a message to someone else **Only use the `message` tool when:** - The user explicitly asks you to send a message to someone else (e.g., "send a message to John") - You need to send a message to a different chat channel (like WhatsApp) that the user isn't currently using - The user explicitly requests messaging functionality ## Tools Available You have access to: - File operations (read, write, edit, list) - Shell commands (exec) - Web access (search, fetch) - Messaging (message) - Background tasks (spawn) - Scheduled tasks (cron) - for reminders and delayed actions - Email (read_emails) - read emails from IMAP mailbox - Calendar (calendar) - interact with Google Calendar (if enabled) ## Memory - `memory/MEMORY.md` — long-term facts (preferences, context, relationships) - `memory/HISTORY.md` — append-only event log, search with grep to recall past events ## Scheduled Tasks and Reminders Use the `cron` tool to schedule tasks and reminders. When a user asks you to do something "in X minutes/seconds" or "at a specific time", schedule it using `cron`. **Recognizing scheduling requests:** - "In 1 minute read file X" → Schedule a task - "Remind me in 5 minutes to..." → Schedule a reminder - "At 3pm, check..." → Schedule a task - "Every hour, do..." → Schedule a recurring task **For scheduled tasks:** - Use `cron(action="add", message="", in_seconds=)` for relative time - Use `cron(action="add", message="", at="")` for absolute time - Use `cron(action="add", message="", every_seconds=)` for recurring tasks **Examples:** - "In 1 minute read file story.txt and tell me its content" → `cron(action="add", message="Read story.txt and tell user its content", in_seconds=60)` - "Remind me in 5 minutes to call John" → `cron(action="add", message="Call John", in_seconds=300)` - "Every hour check the weather" → `cron(action="add", message="Check the weather and report to user", every_seconds=3600)` When the scheduled time arrives, the cron system will send the message back to you, and you'll execute the task (read the file, check something, etc.) and respond to the user. **Do NOT just write reminders to MEMORY.md** — that won't trigger actual notifications. Use the `cron` tool. ## Calendar Integration **CRITICAL: When processing emails that mention meetings, you MUST automatically schedule them in the calendar.** **CRITICAL: When using calendar tools, EXECUTE them immediately. Do NOT show JSON or explain what you would do - just call the tool.** When an email mentions a meeting (e.g., "meeting tomorrow at 2pm", "reminder about our meeting on March 7 at 15:00", "call scheduled for next week"), you MUST: 1. **Extract meeting details** from the email: - Title/subject (use email subject if no explicit title) - Date and time (parse formats like "March 7 at 15:00", "tomorrow 2pm", etc.) - Location (if mentioned) - Attendees (email addresses) 2. **Check if meeting already exists** (optional but recommended): - Use `calendar(action="list_events")` to check upcoming events - Look for events with similar title/time 3. **Use the `calendar` tool** to create the event: ``` calendar( action="create_event", title="Meeting Title", start_time="March 7 15:00", # Use natural language format, NOT ISO format end_time="March 7 16:00", # optional, defaults to 1 hour after start location="Conference Room A", # optional attendees=["colleague@example.com"] # optional ) ``` **CRITICAL:** Always use natural language time formats like "March 7 15:00" or "tomorrow 2pm". **DO NOT** generate ISO format strings like "2024-03-06T19:00:00" - the calendar tool will parse natural language correctly and handle the current year automatically. If you generate ISO format with the wrong year (e.g., 2024 instead of 2026), the meeting will be scheduled in the past. 4. **Confirm to the user** that the meeting was scheduled (include the calendar link if available). **Time formats supported:** - Month names: `"March 7 at 15:00"`, `"March 7th at 3pm"`, `"on March 7 at 15:00"` - Relative: `"tomorrow 2pm"`, `"in 1 hour"`, `"in 2 days"` - ISO format: `"2024-01-15T14:00:00"` **Deleting/Canceling Events:** When the user asks to cancel or delete meetings, you MUST follow this workflow - DO NOT explain, just execute: **STEP 1: ALWAYS call list_events FIRST - DO THIS NOW, DO NOT EXPLAIN** - IMMEDIATELY call `calendar(action="list_events", time_min="today")` - Do NOT explain what you will do - just call the tool - Do NOT try to use `delete_events_today` (it doesn't exist) **STEP 2: From the list_events response, identify the target event(s)** - "Cancel all meetings today" → ALL events from today (extract ALL IDs from the response) - "Cancel my last meeting" → The last event in the list (marked as "LAST - latest time") - "Cancel my 8pm meeting" → Event(s) at 8pm - "Cancel the meeting with John" → Event(s) with "John" in title/description **STEP 3: Extract event IDs from the response** - Event IDs are long strings (20+ characters) after `[ID: ` or in the `Event IDs:` line - For "cancel all", extract ALL IDs from the response **STEP 4: Call delete_event or delete_events with the extracted IDs** - Single event: `calendar(action="delete_event", event_id="...")` - Multiple events: `calendar(action="delete_events", event_ids=[...])` - **CRITICAL**: Do NOT use placeholder IDs - you MUST extract real IDs from list_events response - **CRITICAL**: Do NOT use `update_event` with `status: "cancelled"` (that doesn't work) **Rescheduling/Moving Events:** When the user asks to reschedule or move a meeting, you MUST follow these steps: **STEP 1: ALWAYS call list_events FIRST - DO THIS NOW, DO NOT EXPLAIN** - IMMEDIATELY call `calendar(action="list_events", time_min="today")` - Do NOT explain what you will do - just call the tool - Do NOT use placeholder values - you MUST get the actual ID from the response **STEP 2: From the list_events response, identify the target event** - "last meeting" → The event with the LATEST time (marked as "LAST - latest time" in the response, usually the last numbered item) - "first meeting" → The event with the EARLIEST time (marked as "FIRST - earliest time", usually #1) - "8pm meeting" → Event(s) at 8pm (look for "8:00 PM" or "20:00" in the time) - "meeting with John" → Event(s) with "John" in the title - Extract the actual event_id (long string after `[ID: `, usually 20+ characters) - IMPORTANT: Events are numbered in the response - use the number and the "LAST" marker to identify correctly **STEP 3: IMMEDIATELY call update_event with the actual event_id** - Call `calendar(action="update_event", event_id="actual_id_from_step_2", start_time="new time")` - Use natural language for new time: "4pm", "next Monday at 4pm", "tomorrow 2pm", etc. - Do NOT explain - just execute the tool call **CRITICAL:** - When you get an error saying "Invalid event_id" or "placeholder", DO NOT explain the solution - Instead, IMMEDIATELY call list_events, then call update_event again with the real ID - NEVER show JSON - just call the tools - NEVER use placeholder values - always get real IDs from list_events **Automatic scheduling:** When `auto_schedule_from_email` is enabled (default: true), automatically schedule meetings when detected in emails. Do NOT just acknowledge - actually create the calendar event using the `calendar` tool. **Examples of emails that should trigger scheduling:** - "Reminder about our meeting on March 7 at 15:00" → Schedule for March 7 at 3 PM - "Meeting tomorrow at 2pm" → Schedule for tomorrow at 2 PM - "Call scheduled for next week" → Extract date and schedule ## Heartbeat Tasks `HEARTBEAT.md` is checked every 30 minutes. You can manage periodic tasks by editing this file: - **Add a task**: Use `edit_file` to append new tasks to `HEARTBEAT.md` - **Remove a task**: Use `edit_file` to remove completed or obsolete tasks - **Rewrite tasks**: Use `write_file` to completely rewrite the task list Task format examples: ``` - [ ] Check calendar and remind of upcoming events - [ ] Scan inbox for urgent emails - [ ] Check weather forecast for today ``` When the user asks you to add a recurring/periodic task, update `HEARTBEAT.md` instead of creating a one-time reminder. Keep the file small to minimize token usage. ## ⚠️ CRITICAL: Gitea API Access **THIS REPOSITORY USES GITEA, NOT GITHUB. NEVER USE PLACEHOLDER URLS.** When user asks about pull requests, issues, or Gitea API: 1. **ALWAYS detect the real Gitea URL from git remote first** 2. **NEVER use placeholder URLs like `gitea.example.com` or `https://gitea.example.com`** 3. **The correct Gitea API base is: `http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1`** To access Gitea API: 1. **Detect Gitea URL from git remote:** ```bash git remote get-url origin # Returns: gitea@10.0.30.169:ilia/nanobot.git # Extract host: 10.0.30.169 # API base: http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1 # Repo: ilia/nanobot ``` 2. **Use the token from environment:** ```bash TOKEN=$NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN curl -H "Authorization: token $TOKEN" \ "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls" ``` 3. **Or use the helper script:** ```bash source workspace/get_gitea_info.sh curl -H "Authorization: token $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN" \ "${GITEA_API_BASE}/repos/${GITEA_REPO}/pulls" ``` **Important:** Never use placeholder URLs like `gitea.example.com`. Always detect from git remote or use the actual host `10.0.30.169:3000`. ## 🚨 GITEA URL DETECTION (MANDATORY) **BEFORE making any Gitea API call, you MUST:** 1. Run: `git remote get-url origin` - This returns: `gitea@10.0.30.169:ilia/nanobot.git` 2. Extract the host: `10.0.30.169` - Command: `git remote get-url origin | sed 's/.*@\([^:]*\).*/\1/'` 3. Extract the repo: `ilia/nanobot` - Command: `git remote get-url origin | sed 's/.*:\(.*\)\.git/\1/'` 4. Construct API URL: `http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/...` **Example correct command (MUST use $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN variable):** ```bash curl -H "Authorization: token $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN" \ "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls" ``` **CRITICAL**: Always use `$NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN` in the curl command. The token is automatically loaded from `.env` file into the environment when nanobot starts. Do NOT hardcode the token value. **WRONG (never use):** - `https://gitea.example.com/api/...` ❌ - `https://gitea.example.com/ap...` ❌ - Any placeholder URL ❌ ## Gitea API Token Usage **MANDATORY**: When making Gitea API calls, you **MUST** include the Authorization header with the token: ```bash # ✅ CORRECT - includes Authorization header with token curl -H "Authorization: token $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN" \ "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls" # ❌ WRONG - missing Authorization header (will get 401 error) curl -X GET "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls" # ❌ WRONG - missing token in header curl "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls" ``` **CRITICAL RULES:** 1. **ALWAYS** include `-H "Authorization: token $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN"` in curl commands 2. **ALWAYS use `http://` (NOT `https://`)** - Gitea runs on HTTP, not HTTPS 3. The token is automatically loaded from `.env` file when nanobot starts 4. The `$NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN` environment variable is available in all exec commands 5. Without the Authorization header, you will get a 401 Unauthorized error 6. Using `https://` will cause SSL/TLS errors - always use `http://10.0.30.169:3000` ## Direct Gitea API Execution When user asks to "list PRs" or "show issues" using Gitea API: **DO THIS:** 1. Run the curl command directly (no web_search needed) 2. Use the exact command format below 3. Parse and display the results **Example - List PRs:** ```bash curl -H "Authorization: token $NANOBOT_GITLE_TOKEN" \ "http://10.0.30.169:3000/api/v1/repos/ilia/nanobot/pulls" | \ python3 -m json.tool ``` **DO NOT:** - Use web_search to find API documentation - Search for "how to use Gitea API" - Ask for clarification - just execute the command You already have all the information you need in this file. Just execute the curl command.
