Mode Creator
Create a useful note-taking system, not merely a valid JSON file. Interview the user, propose a small taxonomy, obtain approval, install it durably, configure optional alerts, restart the worker, and prove the active mode appears in startup context.
Ground rules
- Use the available interactive question tool (
AskUserQuestion,request_user_input, or equivalent) for the interview. Ask in small batches and wait for each response. - Explain observation types as mutually exclusive kinds of notes and concepts as reusable tags. Avoid jargon unless the user uses it first.
- Inspect existing bundled and user modes before inventing a new one. Reuse or remix a close match when that serves the user better.
- Do not edit a plugin cache or bundled mode. Install custom files under the resolved claude-mem data directory's
modes/folder. - Do not expose a Telegram token in chat, command arguments, logs, or tool output. Treat it like a password.
- Preserve unrelated settings and existing Telegram triggers. The helpers make timestamped backups and merge requested triggers.
- Custom modes are supported by the local worker runtime. If
CLAUDE_MEM_RUNTIMEisserver, explain that this workflow cannot safely install a per-user mode into the shared server and stop before mutation. - Existing observations keep their original types. The new mode applies to future observation generation.
