Interface: TimeReader

A strategy that reads a person's words into zone-less PARTS (time design § 5.1). Armed with .time({ reader }); there is no default. It runs once per turn, at the seed, on the message a person wrote, and never again for that message — a resume and a retry read the recorded reading.

Example

const reader: TimeReader = {
  id: 'my-app/english', version: '1.2.0', locale: 'en-US', kind: 'rule',
  read: (text) => ({ mentions: tokenize(text) }),
};
Agent.create({ provider, model }).time({ zone: 'UTC', reader }).build();

Properties

id

readonly id: string

Defined in: src/time/reader.ts:68

Recorded on every reading with the version, e.g. 'agentfootprint/english'.

kind

readonly kind: "model" | "rule"

Defined in: src/time/reader.ts:78

'rule': deterministic over the text. 'model': an LLM or other learned reader. Neither kind's reading is ever the person's words: a rule reading is offered through the time ask to confirm; a model reading fills as a reading (derived-from-reading) until the person confirms it.
