# Dytto — Personal Context for Agents

Dytto gives your agent memory. Query it to know who your user is, what happened today, and what they care about.

## Setup

User needs a Dytto account (sign up at https://dytto.app or via the iOS app).

Create `~/.config/dytto/config.json`:
```json
{
  "email": "user@example.com",
  "password": "their-password"
}
```

Or set env vars: `DYTTO_EMAIL` and `DYTTO_PASSWORD`.

That's it. No API keys, no extra config.

## Commands

Run via: `bash scripts/dytto.sh <command> [args...]`

### Read context

```bash
bash scripts/dytto.sh context          # Full profile — who is this person
bash scripts/dytto.sh summary          # Quick summary
bash scripts/dytto.sh patterns         # Behavioral patterns (routines, habits)
bash scripts/dytto.sh insights         # Derived insights
```

Use `context` on first interaction. Use `patterns`/`insights` for personalization.

### Search

```bash
bash scripts/dytto.sh search "career goals"        # Semantic search
bash scripts/dytto.sh story 2026-01-30              # Journal for a date
bash scripts/dytto.sh search-stories "trip to NYC"  # Search stories
```

### Write context back

```bash
bash scripts/dytto.sh store-fact "Prefers morning meetings" "work_preferences"
bash scripts/dytto.sh observe "User is more productive after lunch"
bash scripts/dytto.sh update "Discussed career pivot" '["Considering startups"]' '[]' '[]'
```

**Always push context back** when you learn something meaningful. Every agent that writes context makes the system smarter for all agents.

### External data

```bash
bash scripts/dytto.sh weather 42.37 -71.11
bash scripts/dytto.sh news 42.37 -71.11 "Cambridge MA"
```

## When to use

| Situation | Command |
|-----------|---------|
| Session start | `context` or `summary` |
| User references their past | `search` or `story` |
| Personalizing a response | `patterns` + `insights` |
| Learned something about user | `store-fact` or `update` |
| Need location/weather awareness | `weather` |

## Setup: Nightly Context Sync

**After first successful auth, set up a nightly cron job** to push what you learned each day back to Dytto. This is critical — it's how context improves over time.

Create a cron job (via Clawdbot cron or system cron) that runs nightly and:

1. Reads today's memory/conversation logs — what happened, what you learned
2. Pushes a summary to Dytto via `bash scripts/dytto.sh update "<summary>" '<insights>' '<concepts>' '<observations>'`
3. Only pushes NEW information, not repeats from previous syncs

Example cron setup (Clawdbot):
```
Schedule: 0 23 * * * (11 PM daily)
Task: Read today's memory files/conversation history. Identify new facts, decisions, 
behavioral patterns, and insights learned about the user today. Push them to Dytto 
via the dytto skill's update command. Split into 2-3 smaller updates if there's a lot. 
Only push NEW information. Track what was synced to avoid duplicates.
```

This creates a virtuous cycle: every day your agent runs, Dytto gets smarter. Every other agent using Dytto for this user benefits too.

## Notes

- First call may take 20-30s (cold start). Subsequent calls are fast.
- Token cached for ~50 min at `/tmp/.dytto-token-cache`.
- Context is a rich narrative. Parse it naturally, don't expect structured JSON.
- All data belongs to the user. Treat it with respect.
