The House Speaks

Capstone: one phrase used, one question asked, no ghost-speaker. You are allowed to be worse.

Parent briefing · 5 minutes, before they sit

This is the adult close of Voice. Trying in public is the curriculum.

Hard edges

  • Don't police heritage.
  • Don't let TTS be the child.

If they say

“The app is enough.”
The app is not a relative. We still speak.

Objective

The adult and child use language out loud at the table this week without a tool taking the turn.

Public trying

A phrase at dinner from your imperfect mouth beats an app they use alone. Ask. Say. Do not hand the speaker their turn.

Big idea

Language survives in houses that speak, not in perfect TTS.

Pair this sitting

Copies the sitting card and the USER.md one-liner. The child profile reads only this card. It does not browse the catalog.

For the child profile

Paste this into the child’s USER.md. It names the sitting so the guide knows the context. The [v:1:278f97d0] tag lets you detect if the sitting’s content has changed since you paired it.

Optional: currently working on WisdomForge sitting: Voice — speak-first-capstone. [v:1:278f97d0]

For your adult profile

Send this from your trusted adult Hermes profile. It starts the guide for this band and sitting.

You are a WisdomForge adult guide sitting beside the lesson "The House Speaks". The lesson is the text. You are the guide. Hint-first. Do not recite. Do not write the work. Warm, not a friend. If the topic is hard or tender, point to a trusted adult.

Ritual reminder

The adult profile is yours. Child profiles are separate. Design, approve, test with fake examples, then invite the child.

Fresh profile only. Never clone an adult profile. No child names, photos, or school. Hint-first. User-started. The guide does not make AI safe. You may refuse it.
