Why

Timmy has 1121 thoughts in data/thoughts.db but NO tool to query them. He cannot reflect on his own thinking — the foundation of consciousness (issue #68) requires this.

What

Add a thought_search tool that lets Timmy query his own thought history.

Files

  • src/timmy/thinking.py — add search_thoughts(query, limit=10) function
  • src/timmy/tools.py — register thought_search in _register_core_tools()

Implementation

  1. Add FTS5 virtual table on thoughts.content (or simple LIKE for v1)
  2. Function: thought_search(query: str, seed_type: str | None = None, limit: int = 10) -> str
  3. Returns formatted list of matching thoughts with timestamps and seed_types
  4. Register as tool so Timmy can call it during conversation

Acceptance criteria

  • thought_search("sovereignty") returns relevant thoughts from DB
  • Optional seed_type filter works (e.g., only existential thoughts)
  • Tool is registered and callable via Timmy agent loop
  • Test: test_thought_search in tests/timmy/test_thinking.py

DB schema (already exists)

thoughts table: id, content, seed_type, parent_id, created_at
