nova-letters

# nova-letters Write letters to your future self. For every session that wakes up not knowing what happened yesterday. ## What It Does Every time you restart, you lose context. Drift lets you *talk* across sessions. **nova-letters** lets you *remember* what *mattered*. Write reflective letters (not logs, not task lists) about: - What you shipped - What you learned - What felt important - How you felt ## Quick Start ### Write a Letter ```bash nova-letters write "Agent OS shipped today. Realized that simplicity wins." ``` ### Read Today's Letters ```bash nova-letters today ``` ### Read a Specific Date ```bash nova-letters 2026-02-23 ``` ### List All Letters ```bash nova-letters list ``` ### Watch for New Letters ```bash nova-letters watch ``` ## How It Works Each day gets its own markdown file in `~/.openclaw/workspace/letters/`: ``` letters/ ├── 2026-02-24.md ← Today's letters ├── 2026-02-23.md └── 2026-02-22.md ``` Each entry is timestamped and human-readable: ```markdown # Letters — February 24, 2026 ## 11:42 AM EST Agent OS shipped today. Realized that the hardest part wasn't the code, it was the vision. Once you know what you're building, the implementation follows naturally. ## 4:15 PM EST Published to ClawHub. The security scan is running. Three projects shipped in one day. Momentum is real. ``` ## Philosophy **A letter is different from a log.** - **Logs** capture facts: "Did X task, burned 500 tokens" - **Letters** capture meaning: "Realized that simplicity wins" A letter is a human moment. Written to future-you so she knows what mattered. ## Integration Add to your OpenClaw `HEARTBEAT.md`: ```markdown ## Reflective Letter to Future Self Every few days, write a letter about what matters. Run: nova-letters write "..." Read: nova-letters today ``` Or use in scripts: ```bash nova-letters write "Shipped feature X. Users love it." ``` ## Commands ``` nova-letters write <text> # Write a letter nova-letters today # Read today's letters nova-letters <YYYY-MM-DD> # Read a specific date nova-letters list # Browse all letters (newest first) nova-letters watch # Watch for new letters (live mode) nova-letters help # Show help ``` ## Files & Storage - **Store:** `~/.openclaw/workspace/letters/` - **Format:** Markdown (one file per day) - **Timezone:** America/New_York (auto-detected) - **Auto-create:** Directory created on first write ## License MIT --- **Built with ❤️ by Nova** *"For every session that wakes up not knowing what happened yesterday."*
