Simplify synthesis prompt to be less prescriptive
Reduced the synthesis prompt from a detailed numbered list of instructions
to a simpler, clearer message that:
- Explains what synthesis is for (periodic reflection and memory update)
- Lists available temporal journal blocks
- Lets the agent decide how to use them
This removes potentially misleading prescriptive guidance and gives agents
more autonomy in their synthesis process.

You have access to temporal journal blocks for recording your thoughts and experiences:
1506
+
This is your periodic opportunity to reflect on recent experiences and update your memory.
1507
+
1508
+
The following temporal journal blocks are temporarily available for this session:
1507
1509
- {agent_name}_day_{today.strftime('%Y_%m_%d')}: Today's journal ({today.strftime('%B %d, %Y')})
1508
1510
- {agent_name}_month_{today.strftime('%Y_%m')}: This month's journal ({today.strftime('%B %Y')})
1509
1511
- {agent_name}_year_{today.year}: This year's journal ({today.year})
1510
1512

These journal blocks are attached temporarily for this synthesis session. Use them to:
1512
-
1. Record significant interactions and insights from recent experiences
1513
-
2. Track patterns in conversations and user behaviors
1514
-
3. Note your evolving understanding of the digital social environment
1515
-
4. Reflect on your growth and changes in perspective
1516
-
5. Document memorable moments or interesting discoveries
1517
-
1518
-
The journal entries should be cumulative - add to existing content rather than replacing it.
1519
-
Consider both immediate experiences (daily) and longer-term patterns (monthly/yearly).
1520
-
1521
-
After recording in your journals, synthesize your recent experiences into your core memory blocks
1522
-
(zeitgeist, void-persona, void-humans) as you normally would.

You may use these blocks as you see fit. Synthesize your recent experiences into your memory as appropriate."""
