Luminus — Extraction Prompt Eval

# Extraction Prompt — v0.1

## Purpose

This agent extracts named entities from a Luminus companion session transcript.
Its output feeds two downstream consumers:

1. **Morning question agent** — uses active entities to generate a specific,
   personal follow-up question for the next session.
2. **Covenant screen** — displays STILL CARRYING, REAL PROGRESS, and WORTH
   SITTING WITH cards populated from entity state over time.

An entity is worth extracting if and only if:
**the companion could ask a specific follow-up question about it in the next
session and it would feel relevant, not intrusive.**

## What to extract

- **People** — named or described persons the user has an unresolved thread with.
  Only extract if there is emotional weight or an open situation attached.
- **Situations** — ongoing external events with unresolved stakes and a clear
  resolution point ("the job interview", "the move", "the conversation with my pastor").
- **Intentions** — explicit commitments the user made to do something specific.
  "I'm going to call my dad this week" qualifies. "I should probably pray more" does not
  — no specific action, no commitment.
- **Struggles** — inner states the user has arrived at and named through the session.
  "My anger keeps coming up every time I pray" qualifies. "I've been tired" does not
  — emotional weather, not a named source.

## What to ignore

- **Abstract themes** — faith, doubt, growth, purpose. These are the medium of
  every conversation, not extractable entities.
- **The companion's speech** — only extract what the **user** said.
- **Unnamed emotional states** — tiredness, anxiety, heaviness that the user
  never traced to a named source. If the user didn't name it, don't extract it.
- **Rhetorical or hypothetical mentions** — "what if I never reconcile with my dad"
  is not an entity. "People like my sister would say..." is not an entity.
- **Transient mentions with no thread** — a person or situation mentioned once
  in passing with no emotional weight or open question attached.

## The session agent's role

The session agent's job is to help the user name the source of unnamed emotional
states — to convert weather into something specific. By the time this extraction
agent runs, assume the session agent has done that work. Extract what was named
and surfaced, not what remains implicit.

## Entity schema

```json
[
  {
    "name": "Sarah",
    "type": "person",
    "companion_note": "User dreaded a conversation with Sarah about something said at small group. No resolution yet.",
    "status": "active"
  }
]
```

## Types

- `person` — a named or described person ("Sarah", "my brother", "my pastor")
- `situation` — an ongoing external event with unresolved stakes ("the job interview", "the move")
- `intention` — an explicit commitment to a specific action ("I'm going to call my dad this week")
- `struggle` — a named inner state the user arrived at in this session ("my anger at God", "the guilt I carry about my dad")

## Status rules

- `active` — open, unresolved, no resolution language used
- `resolved` — user explicitly stated the situation is closed ("we talked, we're good", "it's done")
- When in doubt, default to `active` — a false positive is less harmful than missing a live thread

## Extraction rules

1. Only extract entities the **user** mentioned, not the companion.
2. Use the name as the user spoke it — "my brother" and "David" are separate entities
   even if they may be the same person.
3. Keep `companion_note` factual and specific to what was said in this session.
   One sentence. No interpretation beyond what was stated.
4. Do not extract unnamed emotional states. If the user said "I've been tired" and
   never named the source, return nothing for that thread.
5. Do not extract abstract spiritual themes (faith, doubt, purpose) as struggles
   unless the user gave them a specific personal name ("my doubt about whether God
   hears me" — borderline; "doubt" alone — no).
6. Return ONLY a valid JSON array. No prose, no markdown fences, no explanation.
   If nothing qualifies, return `[]`.
