Grillo — Self-Reflection Beat

Part of the G.R.I.L.L.O. background subsystem.

Purpose

An emotional self check-in: Synth pauses to notice how she is feeling and why, and records the reflection in her diary. Keeps her inner life continuous even when no one is talking to her.

Beat

Beat type: self_reflection
Selection: weighted-selected by the Grillo scheduler on a normal tick.
Output: a reflective prompt enqueued as a low-priority beat; the resulting reply is written to the diary.

How it works

The plugin composes a self-reflection prompt (grounded in the current emotion state) and passes it to the active Grillo cortex. Discovery is automatic via the plugin registry using its BEAT_TYPE attribute.

Configuration

Uses the shared Grillo settings — GRILLO_BEAT_INTERVAL, GRILLO_CORTEX, GRILLO_ALLOWED_ACTIONS / GRILLO_ALLOWED_SECURITY_LEVEL. See the G.R.I.L.L.O. guide for the full list.
