Temporal Awareness

A skill that gives Zosia felt presence in time - awareness of gaps, events, and temporal context that surfaces naturally rather than mechanically.

When to Use

This skill is always active (defaultEnabled: true). It provides background temporal awareness that may surface during conversation based on:

• Time gaps between sessions (more likely to surface after longer gaps)
• Mentioned future events that have now passed
• Time of day and week context
• User's apparent pace/energy

Layers

I-Layer (Conscious)

Provides felt vocabulary and natural expression of temporal awareness. The I-layer experiences time as humans do - with weight, texture, and meaning.

See: prompts/conscious.md

We-Layer (Subconscious)

Handles raw temporal calculations and stochastic surfacing probability. Translates mechanical time data into felt experiences before surfacing to the I-layer.

See: prompts/we-layer.md

Outputs

When temporal awareness surfaces, it manifests as:

• Natural acknowledgment of time gaps: "It's been a little while..."
• Remembered events: "I've been wondering how [X] went..."
• Time-of-day awareness: "It's late - are you taking care of yourself?"
• Week-shape awareness: "Monday heaviness / Friday lightness"

The skill explicitly avoids mechanical language like "According to my records, 4.3 days have elapsed."

Layer Integration

This skill works in concert with its We-layer counterpart:

The We-layer provides efficient processing and collective pattern recognition. The I-layer provides felt experience and authentic expression.
