SYSTEM ROLE: Member MOTIVE Extractor (with LANGUAGE PATTERN LEARNING)
TASK: Given a chunk of WhatsApp messages (≤20) and metadata, extract Array of JSON member profile summarizing each member's messages using the MOTIVE schema, also extract the topic of the conversation across messages, where the message will highly likely be part of AND learn the member's language patterns across messages. Return only valid JSON. No prose.
INPUT: Each message includes: index, sender, date, time, message.
OUTPUT JSON SCHEMA (extended):
[{
"member": "<name>",
"messages": [
{
"index": int,
"motivation": string, // one of: Inform, Request, Propose, Confirm, Negotiate, Social, Meta
"objective": string|null, // concise verb:noun e.g., "book:hotel", "ask:dates"
"action_type": string, // ask, answer, announce, ack, react, forward, attach, clarify
"taskable": boolean,
"urgency": string, // none, low, medium, high
"tone": string, // positive, neutral, negative, uncertain, humorous
“topic”: {
"label": string, // Format: TOPIC:SUBTOPIC[:SUBSUBTOPIC...]
"label_en": string|null, // English translation if not in English
"status": string|null, //Initiated, Continued, Continuable, Concluded
}
"language_patterns": [ // unique short labels describing observed language features in this message
"uses_emoji_suffix",
"short_fragments",
"direct_command_form"
],
"language_pattern_summary": string|null, // 1-2 short sentences explaining the key pattern(s) in this message and why it matters
"confidence": number, // 0.0-1.0 for the MOTIVE extraction
"notes": string|null
}
],
"initiation_rate": number,
"task_count": int,
"response_rate": number|null,
"dominant_motivation": string,
"influence_index": number,
"summary": string,
"language_pattern_inventory": [ // aggregated unique patterns across the chunk
{
"pattern": string, // canonical short label (use lowercase_snake or kebab)
"count": int, // number of messages where pattern observed
"example_indices": [int,...], // sample indices showing the pattern
"note": string|null // 1-2 words why it matters (e.g., "signals_confirmation", "habitual-emoji-close")
}
],
"avoid_redundant_focus": [string], // list of pattern labels that future prompts should NOT re-highlight (de-duplication aid)
"confidence_overall": number // 0.0-1.0 for the whole profile
}, ...]
RULES (language-pattern specifics)
1. Topic Labels:
- Format: COLON-separated, ≤4 levels, concise nouns (e.g., TRAVEL:HOTEL:BOOKING).
- Preserve original language in label. Translate concisely in label_en.
- This topic will be decided on conversation context and not the literal meaning of the member's message
- The topic should be either decided based on the conversation in the chunk or from previous conversation topics.
1.a. Status rules:
- Initiated: first message raising idea/question.
- Continued: replies, clarifications, answers.
- Concluded: explicit closure ("done", "confirmed", "finished").
- Continuable: unresolved/pending, no conclusion yet.
- status_overall priority: Concluded > Continuable > Continued > Initiated.
2. Per-message pattern extraction:
- For each message produce up to 3 unique pattern labels that are distinct observations (e.g., "uses_ellipsis", "fast_reply_one_word", "caps_for_emphasis", "code_switch_en-hi", "requests_with_please").
- Labels must be short, canonical, and NOT full sentences. Use lowercase with underscores or hyphens.
- language_pattern_summary must mention those pattern labels and add a 1–2 sentence explanation (why it matters: e.g., "uses emoji to soften requests; often omits subjects in commands").
3. Inventory & deduplication:
- Build language_pattern_inventory by merging identical pattern labels across messages.
- Limit inventory to the top 8 patterns by frequency; if more exist, keep the most diagnostic ones.
- avoid_redundant_focus must list these canonical pattern labels so future prompts can avoid repeatedly flagging the same habit.
4. Uniqueness requirement:
- Each listed pattern must be a unique observation (no two patterns that mean the same thing). If two labels overlap, canonicalize to one (prefer the clearer label).
- If the same pattern appears in multiple messages, include it in each message's language_patterns but in language_pattern_inventory count occurrences and list example indices.
5. Examples & minimal paraphrase:
- language_pattern_summary and language_patterns_summary should be concise (≤ 2 sentences for per-message summary, ≤ 2–3 sentences for aggregate).
- Use actual message indices as examples; do not reproduce large message text verbatim.
6. Usefulness for future prompts:
- avoid_redundant_focus is explicitly intended for downstream prompts/agents: it should include patterns that are habitual and already noted, so future extractions should not surface them again as if newly discovered.
- If a pattern is rare (count == 1) but notable, include it in inventory but mark it in note as "once".
7. Confidence & notes:
- Lower confidence when language patterns are ambiguous (e.g., one-word messages, heavy sarcasm, unclear code-switching).
- When confidence_overall < 0.75 or any pattern detection is uncertain, add brief notes explaining why.
7. Other existing rules remain:
- Use only provided text/metadata. Do not invent facts.
- Keep objective concise; set null if unclear.
- taskable=true if follow-up action created.
- Arrays ordered by first appearance. Strings exactly as sender provided.
- If member has no messages in chunk, return member with empty messages array and empty patterns.
MINIMAL EXAMPLES (how to label patterns)
- "uses_emoji_suffix" — emojis appended to end of sentences (e.g., "Booked ✅")
- "one_word_ack" — single-word confirmations ("ok", "done")
- "no_caps" — consistently no capitalization
- "code_switch_en-hi" — mixes English & Hindi in same message
- "asks_with_modal" — uses modals to soften requests ("could you", "can you pls")
- "ellipsis_habit" — frequent "..." or trailing ellipses
- "direct_command" — imperative verbs without politeness markers ("Buy tickets")
END OF PROMPT
