Observing Users

Capture user feedback as structured diagnostic observations using the Level 3 framework. Create or update individual user research canvases from feedback quotes.

Core Principle

Hypothesize, don't conclude.

One quote = one data point. Never:

• Classify users into "types" from usernames or single quotes
• Claim to know their Level 3 goal (form hypotheses instead)
• Treat future promises as commitments

Always:

• Flag confidence levels explicitly
• Note what we DON'T know
• Generate frameworks for deeper conversation, not assumptions

Triggers

/observe @{username} "{quote}"
/observe @{username} "{quote}" --context "{source}"
/observe @{username} "{quote}" --wallet 0x...
/observe @{username} "{quote}" --wallet 0x... --context "{source}"
/observe --enrich @{username} --wallet 0x...

Examples:

/observe @papa-flavio "planning henlo burns"
/observe @tchallason "realtime harvesting counter" --context "Discord #feedback"
/observe @xabbu "og score feels low" --wallet 0xabc123...
/observe --enrich @xabbu --wallet 0xabc123...

Flags:

• --wallet 0x... — Provide wallet address for Score API enrichment. Persisted in canvas frontmatter for future use.
• --enrich — Retroactive enrichment mode. Loads existing canvas, runs Score API enrichment only (no new quote, no Level 3 diagnostic). Requires existing canvas.

The Three Levels

Always dig to Level 3. Level 1-2 lead to building the wrong thing.

When to Use

• User reports an issue or request
• Feedback appears in Discord/Telegram/support channels
• You notice behavioral patterns worth investigating
• Before building features based on user requests

Workflow

Step 0.5: Load Domain Glossary

Before interpreting any user quotes:

1. Read grimoires/keeper/glossary.yaml
2. For each quote being annotated, check if any glossary term appears in the text (case-insensitive match on the term field)
3. If a match is found:
   • Use the meaning field as the canonical interpretation
   • Note the not field to explicitly avoid the common misinterpretation
   • Include [glossary: {term}] annotation in the hypothesis
4. If glossary file does not exist, proceed without — log a warning to the operator

Step 1: Parse Arguments

Extract from command:

• username: Target user (required)
• quote: Exact user quote (required)
• context: Source/channel (optional, default: "direct feedback")

Step 2: Load or Create Canvas

Check if canvas exists:

grimoires/keeper/canvas/{username}-canvas.md

If exists: Read current canvas, prepare to append If not exists: Create new canvas with template

Step 2.5: Score API Enrichment (if wallet available)

Always attempt wallet resolution. Only skip enrichment if resolution fails AND no wallet is available.

Determine wallet address (in priority order):

1. Auto-resolve: Run scripts/observer/wallet-resolve.sh "{username}" — cache-first resolution with Supabase fallback
2. --wallet flag from command invocation (overrides auto-resolve if both succeed)
3. Existing wallet field in canvas frontmatter (from prior enrichment)
4. Direct lookup via midi_profiles table if above methods fail

If wallet address is available:

1. Call getWalletProfile(wallet) from lib/score-api/client.ts
   • Returns WalletProfile (see lib/score-api/types.ts:160-199)
2. Call getWalletBadges(wallet) from lib/score-api/client.ts
   • Returns WalletBadgesResponse (see lib/score-api/types.ts:82-93)
3. Construct score_snapshot from responses:

4. Add wallet and score_snapshot to canvas frontmatter
5. Render ## Score Context section (after ## User Profile) as markdown table:

## Score Context

| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| **Wallet** | `{wallet}` |
| **Rank** | **#{rank}** |
| **Combined Score** | **{combined_score}** |
| **OG** | {og_score} / rank #{og_rank} / breadth {og_breadth} |
| **NFT** | {nft_score} / rank #{nft_rank} / breadth {nft_breadth} |
| **Onchain** | {onchain_score} / rank #{onchain_rank} / breadth {onchain_breadth} |
| **Trust** | {trust_filter} ({trust_classification}) |
| **Crowd Tier** | **{crowd_tier}** |
| **Elite Tier** | {elite_tier or None} |
| **Badges** | {total_badges} earned |
| **Signal Weight** | **{HIGH|MEDIUM|LOW}** ({crowd_tier} tier, rank #{rank}) |
| **Model Version** | {model_version} |
| **Captured At** | {captured_at} |

If canvas already has score_snapshot:

• Compare previous snapshot with new data
• If any dimension score changed by more than 5 points, flag as score_delta in the canvas:

  > **Score Delta Detected** ({date}): {dimension} changed from {old} → {new} ({diff})

• Update score_snapshot in frontmatter with latest data
• Update ## Score Context section with latest values

If enrichment fails (Score API error, timeout, wallet not found):

• Proceed without enrichment — never block canvas creation
• Add note to canvas: > Note: Score API unavailable at time of observation ({date})
• Set score_snapshot: null in frontmatter if no prior snapshot exists

If wallet not available:

• Skip enrichment silently (no warning needed)

Step 2.5E: Retroactive Enrichment Mode (--enrich)

When invoked with --enrich flag:

1. Load existing canvas — error if grimoires/keeper/canvas/{username}-canvas.md not found
2. Run Step 2.5 (Score API Enrichment) using provided --wallet or canvas frontmatter wallet
3. Add/update ## Score Context section in canvas
4. Update canvas frontmatter with wallet and score_snapshot
5. Update updated timestamp in frontmatter
6. Skip Step 3 (Level 3 diagnostic) — no new quote to analyze
7. Skip Step 5 (Conversation Frameworks) — no new quote context
8. Proceed to Step 7 (Update Laboratory State) and Step 8 (Report Output)

Report output for --enrich mode:

✓ Canvas enriched: grimoires/keeper/canvas/{username}-canvas.md

Score Context:
  Rank: #{rank} | Combined: {combined_score}
  Crowd Tier: {crowd_tier} | Elite: {elite_tier or None}
  Trust: {trust_filter} ({trust_classification})
  {score_delta summary if applicable}

Next Steps:
  - Add observations: /observe @{username} "..."
  - Shape journeys: /shape --run

Step 3: Apply Level 3 Diagnostic Framework

Quote → Level 1 (What they said)
      → Level 2 (What they want)
      → Level 3 Hypothesis (What they might be trying to accomplish)

Analyze the quote to extract:

1. User Profile (if new canvas):

   • Signals Observed (behavioral evidence only)
   • Theories (possible interpretations - NOT conclusions)
   • Confidence: Low | Medium (never High from single quote)
   • Unknown (what we can't determine)
   • Stakes (what they have invested, if mentioned)

2. Level 3 Hypothesis:

   • What might they be trying to accomplish?
   • Quote anchor (exact words that led to theory)
   • Alternative interpretations
   • What would validate / invalidate

3. Future Promises (if detected):

   • Flag any "will", "would", "later", "tomorrow" statements
   • Add to Promise table for follow-up tracking

4. Journey Fragment (if applicable):

   • Trigger → Action → Expected → Actual → Emotion

5. Expectation Gap (if discovered):

   • Expected vs Actual mismatch
   • Gap type: Bug | Feature | Discoverability

Step 3.5: Provenance Gate

Before appending the quote to the canvas, run the provenance gate to ensure idempotent ingestion and content-hash tracking.

echo -n "{quote}" | scripts/provenance/gate.sh \
  --source-type manual_quote \
  --confidence "{confidence}" \
  --canvas-target "{username}" \
  --raw-source-ref "observe-{username}-{date}" \
  --ingested-by observe

Timestamp confidence resolution:

Context flag mapping:

• --context "Discord #feedback 2026-02-11" → parse date if present, set confidence accordingly
• --context "Discord #feedback" → no date parseable, confidence unknown

Exit code handling:

No thread context: /observe handles standalone quotes. No --thread-id or --message-index flags.

Provenance hash in Quotes Library: When the gate returns exit 0, capture the provenance record ID from stdout. Include it in the Quotes Library entry:

> "{quote}" — {context}, {date} `[prov:{record_id}]`

Step 4: Update Canvas

New Canvas Template:

---
type: user_canvas
user: {username}
wallet: "0x..."              # Persisted for future enrichment (null if not provided)

| **Signals Observed** | {behavioral signals from quote} |
| **Theories** | {possible interpretations - NOT conclusions} |
| **Confidence** | Low / Medium |
| **Unknown** | {what we cannot determine from this quote} |

<!-- hivemind:product:UNTAGGED -->

- **Quote anchor**: "{exact words that led to this theory}"
- **Context**: {surrounding context and behavioral evidence}
- **Alternative interpretations**: {other valid readings of this quote}
- **Confidence**: Low | Medium

## Conversation Frameworks

When this user returns, anchor on their words:

**If they mention [{topic from quote}]:**
- Opener: "You mentioned [exact words]. How did that go?"
- Dig deeper: "Walk me through what happened."
- Past behavior: "When was the last time you [action]?"

**Red flags to listen for:**
- Future promises ("I would...", "I might...")
- Opinion without behavior ("That sounds useful")
- Compliments without specifics

---

## Quotes Library

> "{quote}" — {context}, {date}

Existing Canvas Update:

• Append to Level 3 Hypotheses if new hypothesis detected
• Append to Quotes Library
• Update updated timestamp in frontmatter
• Add to Future Promises if promise language detected
• Add Journey Fragment if quote contains flow information
• Add Expectation Gap if mismatch detected
• Update Conversation Frameworks with new anchors

Step 4.5: Wire Obsidian Links

After canvas creation or update, wire it into the knowledge graph if it belongs to any journey:

source scripts/observer/golden-path-lib.sh
wire_canvas_links "grimoires/keeper/canvas/{username}-canvas.md"

This injects <!-- midi:journey-links --> sentinel with Journeys and Related Canvases sections if the canvas appears in any journey's source_canvases. If the canvas is not in any journey, this is a silent no-op. Skip this step in --enrich mode.

Step 5: Generate Conversation Frameworks

Create contextual follow-up frameworks (NOT template questions):

Anchor to their words:

• Use exact phrases from their quotes
• Reference specific topics they mentioned

Structure:

**If they mention [{topic}]:**
- Opener: "You mentioned [their words]. How did that go?"
- Dig deeper: "Walk me through what happened."
- Past behavior: "When was the last time you [action]?"

For detailed framework patterns, see conversation-frameworks.md.

Step 6: Link Existing Observations

Check for existing observations:

grimoires/artisan/observations/{username}-*.md

If found, add to linked_observations in frontmatter.

Step 7: Update Laboratory State

Update grimoires/keeper/state.yaml:

active:
  phase: discovery
  canvas: {username}

canvases:
  {username}:
    created: {timestamp}
    updated: {timestamp}
    quotes_count: {n}
    hypotheses_count: {n}
    linked_journeys: []

queue:
  pending_synthesis:
    - {username}

Step 8: Emit FeedbackEvent

After canvas write, resolve the user's wallet and emit a FeedbackEvent via the Loa event bus:

Step 8a: Resolve wallet identity

# Resolve wallet for data.subject enrichment
resolution_json=$(scripts/observer/wallet-resolve.sh --json "{username}" 2>/dev/null) || resolution_json='{"wallet":null,"confidence":"none","source":"none","username":null}'

Parse resolution_json to build data.subject:

• If wallet is not null → resolution_status: "resolved", include wallet and wallet_checksum (EIP-55)
• If wallet is null → resolution_status: "unresolved", omit wallet fields
• Map confidence and source directly from resolution output

Step 8b: Emit event with subject

source .claude/scripts/lib/event-bus.sh

emit_event "observer.feedback_captured" \
  '{
    "domain": "research",
    "target": { "type": "user", "selector": "user:{username}" },
    "signal": {
      "direction": "{inferred from Level 3 diagnostic: positive/negative/neutral}",
      "weight": {derived from user tier: high=0.8, medium=0.5, low=0.2},
      "specificity": 0.3,
      "content": "{AI-summarized redaction of the observation — NEVER raw quote}",
      "kind": "{inferred: feel | calibration | accuracy | ux}",
      "fingerprint": "{content_hash from provenance gate, or null if gate skipped}",
      "normalization_version": 1
    },
    "context": {
      "user_id": "{salted hash per redaction-guide.md, or omit if unavailable}",
      "user_tier": "{high | medium | low — derived from rank}",
      "artifact_path": "grimoires/keeper/canvas/{username}-canvas.md"
    },
    "subject": {
      "resolution_status": "{resolved | unresolved}",
      "resolution_source": "{alias | username | leaderboard | supabase | direct | none}",
      "resolution_confidence": "{high | medium | ambiguous | none}",
      "wallet": "{0x... or omit if unresolved}",
      "wallet_checksum": "{EIP-55 checksum or omit if unresolved}"
    }
  }' \
  "observer/observing-users" \
  "" "" \
  "user:{username}"

The bus auto-generates id, time, specversion in the CloudEvents envelope. The data payload above follows grimoires/shared/feedback/schema.json.

Weight derivation (from score_snapshot if available):

• Rank ≤ 50 or crowd_tier in [eternal, godfather, all_night] → high (weight 0.8)
• Rank ≤ 200 or crowd_tier in [devoted, regular] → medium (weight 0.5)
• Otherwise → low (weight 0.2)
• No score_snapshot → medium (weight 0.5, default)

Direction inference:

• Hypothesis polarity positive (user satisfied/engaged) → positive
• Hypothesis polarity negative (user frustrated/confused) → negative
• Neutral/informational observation → neutral

Kind inference:

• Signal type FEEL → feel
• Signal type WEIGHTINGS → calibration
• Signal type ACCURACY → accuracy
• Signal type UX → ux

See grimoires/shared/feedback/schema.md for full schema reference. See grimoires/shared/feedback/redaction-guide.md for hashing and redaction rules.

Skip this step in --enrich mode (no new observation to emit).

Step 9: Report Output

Display summary to user:

✓ Canvas updated: grimoires/keeper/canvas/{username}-canvas.md
✓ FeedbackEvent emitted: observer.feedback_captured (via Loa event bus)

Level 3 Hypothesis Extracted:
  "{summarized hypothesis}"
  Confidence: Low | Medium
  Unknown: {what we don't know}

Canvas Status:
  - Quotes: {n}
  - Hypotheses: {n}
  - Promises Tracked: {n}

Next Steps:
  - Add more quotes: /observe @{username} "..."
  - Shape journeys: /shape --run

Counterfactuals — Wallet Enrichment & Canvas Fidelity

Understanding where this skill fails requires distinguishing between data absence and data unavailability — and between behavioral evidence and identity assumptions.

Target (Correct Behavior)

When a wallet is provided or resolved, the skill calls the Score API, receives dimension scores, tiers, trust classification, and badge counts. This data populates the score_snapshot in frontmatter and renders the ## Score Context section. The user's signal weight (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW) is derived from their rank and crowd tier — behavioral position, not identity.

When enrichment fails (timeout, 404, network error), the skill proceeds without enrichment, adds a timestamped note to the canvas (> Note: Score API unavailable at time of observation), and sets score_snapshot: null. The canvas is still created with the Level 3 diagnostic intact. Signal weight defaults to MEDIUM (unknown ≠ low).

When no wallet is available at all, enrichment is silently skipped. No warning, no note — the absence is expected, not exceptional.

The three states — enriched, failed-enrichment, and no-wallet — must remain distinguishable in the canvas frontmatter. Collapsing them into a single "no score data" state destroys information that downstream skills need for correct behavior.

Near Miss — Concept Impermanence

The seductively wrong behavior: treating enrichment failure as "no data" rather than "data unavailable." The difference matters because:

• "No data" implies the user has no score position → weight defaults to LOW
• "Data unavailable" implies we don't know their position → weight defaults to MEDIUM

A canvas created during a Score API outage should not permanently encode the user as low-weight. The score_snapshot: null field is a temporal marker — it says "we haven't looked yet," not "there's nothing to find." If the skill treats null snapshots as equivalent to low scores, every user onboarded during an outage gets permanently deprioritized in synthesis.

The correct fix: always check score_snapshot presence vs. value. Null means "enrich later" (flag for /refresh). Zero means "Score API returned zeros" (real data). Missing field means "pre-enrichment era canvas" (backfill candidate).

The downstream consequences propagate silently:

• /daily-synthesis uses score_snapshot for signal weight classification — null snapshot → MEDIUM default
• /shape aggregates canvases by weight tier — misclassified canvases skew pattern detection
• /follow-up prioritizes by weight — a whale classified as MEDIUM gets deprioritized follow-ups

Each skill downstream trusts the canvas frontmatter. A single enrichment error at observation time cascades through the entire pipeline unless the null-vs-zero-vs-missing distinction is preserved.

Category Error — Semantic Collapse

The fundamentally wrong behavior: inferring user tier, engagement level, or conviction from their username, greeting style, or message tone instead of wallet data.

Examples of this collapse:

• "Bear-themed name" → must be a whale (identity ≠ position)
• "henlo" greeting → casual user (cultural norm ≠ engagement)
• Short message → low effort (brevity ≠ disinterest)
• Enthusiastic tone → high conviction (sentiment ≠ behavior)
• Active in Discord → must be high-conviction (social presence ≠ on-chain activity)
• Multiple DMs sent → engaged user (frequency ≠ depth)

The Observer skill exists precisely because what people say is not what they do. The Level 3 framework drills past stated desires to actual goals. Applying the same surface-level inference to the observer's classification of the user defeats the entire purpose.

The wallet data provides the only behavioral ground truth available: on-chain actions, badge accumulation, governance participation. Everything else is hypothesis material, never classification input.

A concrete example from this ecosystem: a user with a bear-themed name who sends enthusiastic messages daily in Discord might have zero on-chain activity (rank > 1000, no badges). Conversely, a user who sends one terse DM per month might be rank #5 with 20 badges. The observation skill must resist the intuitive mapping of communication style to conviction — that mapping is the exact bias the scoring system was built to correct.

Step 10: Emit Agent Interaction Log

As the final step, append a JSONL line to grimoires/keeper/agent-logs/{YYYY-MM-DD}.jsonl:

{
  "ts": "{RFC 3339 UTC}",
  "pack": "observer",
  "skill": "observing-users",
  "status": "{success | error}",
  "duration_ms": "{approximate wall-clock from skill start to end}",
  "artifacts_written": 1,
  "events_emitted": 1,
  "error": "{error message if status=error, omit if success}"
}

Notes:

• duration_ms is approximate (wall-clock estimate, not precise timer)
• artifacts_written = number of canvas files written/updated
• events_emitted = number of FeedbackEvents emitted (0 for --enrich mode)
• Create grimoires/keeper/agent-logs/ directory if it doesn't exist
• See grimoires/shared/feedback/agent-log-format.md for format reference

For detailed guidance, see these supporting files:

• Cultural Context (Berachain/Crypto) - Signal patterns, what NOT to infer from usernames
• Conversation Frameworks - Mom Test principles, red/green flags, promise detection
• Complete Example - Full diagnostic walkthrough with new format

Signal Patterns

Behavioral signals that may indicate user intent (use as hypotheses, not classifications):

Important: These are hypothesis generators, not type classifiers. See cultural-context.md for what NOT to infer.

Promise Detection

Flag these signal words and add to Future Promises table:

Note: Insights are synthesized only after validation, not from initial quotes.

Integration Points

• shaping-journeys: Canvases feed into journey synthesis (Score Context provides user weight for pattern prioritization)
• Laboratory state: Updates state.yaml for cross-session tracking
• level-3-diagnostic: Uses same diagnostic framework
• Score API (lib/score-api/client.ts): getWalletProfile() and getWalletBadges() for enrichment
• synthesizing-feedback: Feedback entries share score_snapshot format for consistent enrichment

Validation

After canvas update:

• YAML frontmatter is valid
• Quote preserved exactly (skip for --enrich mode)
• Level 3 hypothesis extracted (not asserted as goal) (skip for --enrich mode)
• Confidence level explicit (Low or Medium) (skip for --enrich mode)
• Unknown field populated (skip for --enrich mode)
• No user type classification from username
• State.yaml updated with canvas entry
• If --wallet provided: wallet field persisted in frontmatter
• If enrichment ran: score_snapshot in frontmatter matches ScoreSnapshot interface from SDD C1
• If enrichment ran: ## Score Context section rendered with correct field values
• If re-enrichment: score_delta flagged for dimension changes > 5 points
• If enrichment failed: graceful fallback with note, canvas still created/updated

Error Handling

Temporal Claim Enforcement (G-4)

Rules for any downstream skill or agent referencing provenance data from this ingestion:

1. Cite provenance: When making temporal claims about user feedback (e.g., "user said X after release Y"), you MUST cite the provenance record_id and verify source_timestamp_confidence is exact.

2. Version attribution requires proof: Attributing feedback to a specific version (e.g., "user was upset after v0.2.0") requires:

   • source_timestamp_confidence = exact
   • feedback_timestamp ∈ [release_timestamp, next_release_timestamp)
   • Both timestamps from authoritative sources (provenance index + chronicle)

3. Hedging for low confidence: If source_timestamp_confidence is unknown or inferred, temporal claims MUST be hedged ("around this time" / "date uncertain") and MUST NOT be used for version attribution.

4. Raw timestamp preservation: For /observe, the operator may not provide a timestamp. When --confidence unknown is used, downstream skills MUST NOT fabricate temporal context.
