Remember Books — BlueColumn Skill

Reading is only useful if the ideas survive the book. This skill turns a reading list into a searchable journal: what you read, what stuck, and what to read next.

Log the book

Store each finished book with the one or two ideas that changed how you think.

curl -X POST https://xkjkwqbfvkswwdmbtndo.supabase.co/functions/v1/agent-remember \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BLUECOLUMN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "The Mom Test by Rob Fitzpatrick — finished July. Core idea: ask about past behavior, not opinions. Favorite line: people will lie to be nice.", "title": "book - The Mom Test"}'

Surface a takeaway

When a conversation touches a topic you have read about, pull the relevant idea into the reply.

curl -X POST https://xkjkwqbfvkswwdmbtndo.supabase.co/functions/v1/agent-recall \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BLUECOLUMN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"q": "What have I read about customer interviews or discovery?"}'

Recommend what is next

Ask the journal for gaps: themes you keep reading but have not acted on, or authors you enjoyed.

curl -X POST https://xkjkwqbfvkswwdmbtndo.supabase.co/functions/v1/agent-recall \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BLUECOLUMN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"q": "Which books did I rate highly, and what topics have I not read about yet?"}'

Reading workflow

1. On finishing — store the title, author, finish date, and 1–2 takeaways.
2. On recommendation — recall what the person liked before suggesting anything.
3. On discussion — pull the stored takeaway and cite it in the reply.
4. Periodically — review the journal and suggest the next read from a gap you found.

Tag for filtering

curl -X POST https://xkjkwqbfvkswwdmbtndo.supabase.co/functions/v1/agent-note \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BLUECOLUMN_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"text": "Want to read: Atomic Habits (habit loops, ties to the sales follow-up project).", "tags": ["book", "wishlist"]}'
