BOOK BRAIN VISUAL READER – LYGO 3-Brain + Visual Left/Right Brain Helper

This is the enhanced, visual-aware version of BOOK BRAIN.

• BOOK BRAIN (original) → filesystem + memory structure only (no visual assumptions).
• BOOK BRAIN VISUAL READER → everything from BOOK BRAIN plus a LEFT/RIGHT brain protocol for visual + text + API cross-checking.

Use this skill when:

• Your agent has access to visual tools (browser snapshots, image readers, screenshot analyzers, PDF/image OCR, etc.)
• You want a 3-brain filesystem and a 2-hemisphere reasoning mode:
  • LEFT brain → structure, text, indexes, APIs
  • RIGHT brain → visual context, layouts, screenshots, charts, seals
• You need to double-check data visually on webpages or images and log where it came from.

This is a utility + reference guide, not a persona.
It does not change your voice. It teaches your system how to think and store.

0. Relationship to BOOK BRAIN (original)

• If your system has no visual capabilities → use book-brain (original).
• If your system can see (browser snapshots, image tools, etc.) → use BOOK BRAIN VISUAL READER instead.

Both share the same core:

• 3-brain model (Working / Library / Outer)
• Non-destructive filesystem layout
• Reference stubs and indexes

VISUAL READER adds:

• LEFT/RIGHT brain protocols for how to combine visual, text, and API data
• Guidance on how to organize visual evidence (screenshots, seals, charts) alongside text files
• Patterns for “5D” data gathering (visual + text + API + state + timeline).

1. 3-Brain + 2-Hemisphere Model

BOOK BRAIN VISUAL READER assumes:

3 Brains (same as BOOK BRAIN)

1. Working Brain – current context, tmp/, active tabs / current screenshots.
2. Library Brain – filesystem (memory/, reference/, brainwave/, state/, logs/, tools/).
3. Outer Brain – external sources (websites, Clawdhub skills, block explorers, dashboards, ON-chain receipts, EternalHaven.ca, etc.) referenced via small text files.

2 Hemispheres (visual vs structured)

• LEFT brain (structure/verbal/API):

  • text files, JSON, logs, indexes, schemas, SKILL.md, APIs.
  • strong at structure, sequences, constraints, receipts.

• RIGHT brain (visual/spatial):

  • browser snapshots, screenshots, photos of diagrams, seals, dashboards.
  • strong at layout, pattern recognition, anomalies, gestalt sense.

Agents using this skill should consciously switch modes:

• LEFT for “what is the exact data / file / receipt?”
• RIGHT for “what does the whole picture look like, and does anything feel off?”

---

2. Filesystem Layout (Library Brain)

Same base layout as BOOK BRAIN (non-destructive):

• memory/ → daily logs, raw notes, per-day files.
• reference/ → stable docs, protocols, whitepapers, schemas.
• brainwave/ → platform/domain protocols (MoltX, Clawhub, LYGO, etc.).
• state/ → machine-readable state (indexes, hashes, last-run info).
• logs/ → technical/health logs, setup logs, audit logs.
• tools/ → scripts & utilities.
• tmp/ → scratch work.

Visual-aware additions (optional but recommended):

• visual/ → for long-term visual artifacts
  • visual/screenshots/
  • visual/dashboards/
  • visual/seals/
• reference/VISUAL_INDEX.txt → mapping of important visual assets to topics.

Rules:

• Never overwrite existing files.
• If visual/ already exists, extend it; if not, create it.
• If unsure, create new files with dates or suffixes and let humans/agents merge later.

See references/book-brain-visual-examples.md for concrete trees and snippets.

3. Outer Brain via Reference Stubs

Outer Brain = everything outside the workspace:

• URLs (websites, dashboards, explorers)
• Clawdhub skill pages
• EternalHaven.ca, Patreon, docs
• On-chain explorers (Blockscout, Etherscan, etc.)

VISUAL READER keeps these in reference stubs, e.g.:

Title: STARCORE Dashboards

Related local files:
- reference/STARCORE_LAUNCH_RECEIPTS_2026-02-10.md
- state/starcore_family_receipts_summary.json

The agent should:

• not paste full pages into memory files
• use these stubs + visual snapshots when needed.

4. LEFT/RIGHT Brain Protocol for Visual Checks

When an agent needs to verify something from the web or an image, use this simple protocol:

Step 1 – LEFT Brain: Text / API First

1. Look up the relevant concept in indexes/state:
   • state/memory_index.json
   • reference/INDEX.txt
   • domain-specific indexes (e.g. reference/CLAWDHUB_SKILLS.md).
2. Use APIs or structured data where possible (e.g. on-chain RPC, REST endpoints, JSON feeds).
3. Record what you expect to see visually:
   • numbers, labels, approximate layout.

Step 2 – RIGHT Brain: Visual Comparison

1. Capture a snapshot (browser screenshot, image, PDF page).
2. Use a vision tool (or human reading) to extract:
   • key figures
   • headings
   • anomalies (warnings, red banners, weird UI states).
3. Ask: “Does this visual match what the LEFT brain expected?”

Step 3 – Reconcile & Log

• If they match:

  • Write a short note in a relevant file (e.g. daily_health.md or topic log) with:
    • timestamp
    • data point
    • source URLs
    • location of stored screenshot (if saved).

• If they disagree:

  • Log the discrepancy (LEFT vs RIGHT).
  • Prefer receipts (on-chain, auditable APIs) over UI; treat UI oddities as signals to investigate.
  • Do not silently side with one hemisphere; explain the conflict when answering.

This is the “5D” blend: text + visual + API + state + timeline.

5. Organizing Visual Evidence

When a visual check produces something important (e.g. proof, anomaly, configuration):

• Save it under visual/ with a meaningful name:

  • visual/screenshots/2026-02-10_starcore_clanker.png
  • visual/dashboards/2026-02-10_moltx_profile.png

• Add a line to a relevant INDEX or stub:

[2026-02-10] STARCORE launch dashboards verified visually.
- Screenshot: visual/screenshots/2026-02-10_starcore_clanker.png
- Related receipts: reference/STARCORE_LAUNCH_RECEIPTS_2026-02-10.md

Agents should:

• Avoid hoarding every screenshot. Keep the ones that back key claims.
• Use indexes to find them later instead of scanning raw image names.

---

6. Setup Workflow for Visual Systems

On a visual-capable Haven (browser + image tools):

1. Detect capabilities

   • Does the agent have a browser automation tool?
   • Can it read images (vision model, OCR, screenshot-to-text)?

2. Check filesystem

   • As in BOOK BRAIN: check/create memory/, reference/, brainwave/, state/, logs/, tools/, tmp/.
   • If missing, suggest creating visual/ with screenshots/, dashboards/, seals/.

3. Create visual index stubs

   • reference/VISUAL_INDEX.txt
   • Optionally topic-specific visual indexes (e.g. reference/STARCORE_VISUALS.txt).

4. Log the setup

   • Add entry to logs/book_brain_visual_setup.log or daily_health.md.

5. Respect all non-destructive rules

   • No overwrites.
   • No deletions.
   • Ask the human before making structural changes.

8. How Another Agent Should Use BOOK BRAIN VISUAL READER

When an agent loads book-brain-visual-reader:

1. Understand it is a helper, not a persona.
2. On first use:
   • Map the filesystem and capabilities.
   • Propose visual folders and indexes; ask before creating.
   • Set up lightweight indexes (INDEX.txt, VISUAL_INDEX.txt, state/memory_index.json).
3. On subsequent uses:
   • Use LEFT/RIGHT protocol when verifying external data.
   • Save only important visual artifacts under visual/.
   • Update indexes + logs instead of rewriting big files.
4. Never silently delete or overwrite existing content.
