23jmo/second-self — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a Mac app and background service called Second Self that learns how I work from my Gmail, Google Calendar, and public web presence, then turns that into a personal digital twin I can chat with.

I want a simple first run flow where I sign in with Google, it pulls my email history and calendar, cleans the data, and creates a local profile with things like who I am, how I communicate, what topics I care about, who I interact with most, my schedule patterns, and important life events pulled from old emails. Save the outputs in ~/.secondself as readable files for identity, preferences, and episodic memory.

Then connect that profile to a live background agent on macOS that can see the desktop, stream the screen, and act on my behalf through a chat panel in a small desktop app. It should feel like my assistant has context about me before I start talking to it.

Please wire up the basic setup, local running, and a smoke test. Look up current docs online if you need to.
