Delta Derivation Skill

Trit: -1 (MINUS - Validator) Color: #007FFF (Cold Blue) Role: Extract and verify conversation export deltas

Core Algorithm

# 1. Extract conversations from exports
unzip -o "$RECENT_ZIP" conversations.json -d /tmp/recent_export
unzip -o "$PREVIOUS_ZIP" conversations.json -d /tmp/previous_export

# 2. Extract conversation IDs
jq -r '.[].conversation_id' /tmp/recent_export/conversations.json | sort > /tmp/recent_ids.txt
jq -r '.[].conversation_id' /tmp/previous_export/conversations.json | sort > /tmp/prev_ids.txt

# 3. Compute delta (new conversations)
comm -23 /tmp/recent_ids.txt /tmp/prev_ids.txt > /tmp/new_ids.txt

# 4. Bisimulation check (mutations in shared conversations)
jq -r '.[] | "\(.conversation_id) \(.current_node)"' /tmp/recent_export/conversations.json | sort > /tmp/recent_states.txt
jq -r '.[] | "\(.conversation_id) \(.current_node)"' /tmp/previous_export/conversations.json | sort > /tmp/prev_states.txt
comm -3 /tmp/recent_states.txt /tmp/prev_states.txt > /tmp/mutated.txt

(defn delta-morphism [recent previous]
  "Compute injective morphism from previous → recent"

Bisimulation Verification

  "Check if two conversations are observationally equivalent"
  (and (= (:conversation_id conv1) (:conversation_id conv2))

                               (get-conv previous id))))
            shared-ids)))

Skill Extraction

(defn extract-skill-mentions [conversations]
  "Find skill invocations in conversation content"
  (let [patterns [#"/(\w+)"                    ; slash commands
                  #"skill[:\s]+[\"']?(\w+)"   ; skill mentions
                  #"(\w+-\w+(?:-\w+)*)"]]     ; hyphenated skill names
    (->> conversations
         (mapcat :messages)
         (mapcat (fn [msg]
                   (for [p patterns
                         m (re-seq p (:content msg ""))]
                     (second m))))
