Mode Creator

Create a useful note-taking system, not merely a valid JSON file. Interview the user, propose a small taxonomy, obtain approval, install it durably, configure optional alerts, restart the worker, and prove the active mode appears in startup context.

Ground rules

• Use the available interactive question tool (AskUserQuestion, request_user_input, or equivalent) for the interview. Ask in small batches and wait for each response.
• Explain observation types as mutually exclusive kinds of notes and concepts as reusable tags. Avoid jargon unless the user uses it first.
• Inspect existing bundled and user modes before inventing a new one. Reuse or remix a close match when that serves the user better.
• Do not edit a plugin cache or bundled mode. Install custom files under the resolved claude-mem data directory's modes/ folder.
• Do not expose a Telegram token in chat, command arguments, logs, or tool output. Treat it like a password.
• Preserve unrelated settings and existing Telegram triggers. The helpers make timestamped backups and merge requested triggers.
• Custom modes are supported by the local worker runtime. If CLAUDE_MEM_RUNTIME is server, explain that this workflow cannot safely install a per-user mode into the shared server and stop before mutation.
• Existing observations keep their original types. The new mode applies to future observation generation.
