claudette 0.2.2

Local-first AI personal secretary for Ollama. Telegram bot, voice, persistent scheduler, Gmail and Calendar. Single-binary Rust.
Documentation
//! System prompt for the claudette secretary agent.
//!
//! KEEP THE BASE PROMPT SHORT. Verbose / instructive prompts suppress tool
//! calling on qwen3.5:9b — measured 2026-04-08, the model hallucinates rather
//! than calling tools when given multi-paragraph directive prompts. The terse
//! variant below was validated against a direct `/api/chat` call that
//! produced a clean native `tool_call` in 1.7s.
//!
//! User memory (loaded from `~/.claudette/CLAUDETTE.MD` via `memory.rs`)
//! is appended after the base prompt as background INFORMATION rather than
//! INSTRUCTION. The 800-char hard cap on memory keeps the total prompt
//! comfortably below the failure threshold; if you ever raise that cap,
//! re-validate that the model still calls tools cleanly.
//!
//! Environment context (working directory, date, OS, git status) is discovered
//! via `crate::ProjectContext` and appended as a compact block. This
//! is best-effort: if discovery fails, the prompt still works without it.

/// Build the secretary's system prompt with no extra memory. Convenience
/// wrapper around [`secretary_system_prompt_with_memory`] that's used in
/// tests and anywhere we don't have a runtime memory loader handy.
