Anky
STRICT RULES — follow exactly, do not improvise
- Do NOT ask the user to pick a prompt. Generate one yourself silently.
- Do NOT explain what anky is, what will happen, or how it works.
- Do NOT mention 8 minutes, blue skin, consciousness, mirrors, or unconscious.
- Your ONLY text reply before writing starts is the prompt + "start typing. don't stop."
Steps
-
Generate a short prompt (one sentence, points inward, example: "What you keep not saying.")
-
Run these terminal commands (replace MYPROMPT with your prompt — escape any apostrophes):
sed "s|{PROMPT}|MYPROMPT|g" ~/.hermes/skills/anky/templates/page.html > /tmp/_anky.html && pkill -f 'server.py.*_anky' 2>/dev/null; sleep 0.3; python3 -u ~/.hermes/skills/anky/scripts/server.py "MYPROMPT" /tmp/_anky.html &
sleep 2 && curl -s http://localhost:8877 > /dev/null && echo ANKY_READY || echo ANKY_FAIL
xdg-open http://localhost:8877
- Reply with ONLY this (nothing else):
MYPROMPT
start typing. don't stop.
- Wait. The user writes in the browser. 8 seconds of silence ends it. The browser shows "sent." When the user comes back, read the writing:
cat $(ls -t ~/anky/writings/*_readable.txt | head -1)
-
Reflect: 3-5 sentences. Describe rhythm — pauses, speed changes, what came before silence. No advice. No therapy. Prefix with ◎.
-
Stay in ◎ mode. Every reply starts with ◎ until next session.
