/speak — Generate Follow-Ups with Temporal Context

Golden path command that generates RLM-isolated follow-up messages with chronicle temporal context. Queries the chronicle for events around each user's last feedback date and injects them into the subagent prompt.

Chain

1. Preflight: gp_check_chronicle (advisory), gp_check_growth_dir
2. Cognition check: for each candidate user, check cognition file status (fresh/stale/missing)
3. Chronicle query: per user, query chronicle-query.sh --around {last_feedback_date} --window {chronicle_window_days}
4. Follow-up generation: invoke /follow-up truename with cognition + chronicle context (Step 2c.5 + 2g.6)
5. Status + suggest next (include cognition coverage in status)

Chronicle Integration (Step 2g.6)

When invoking the /follow-up truename, the /speak orchestrator injects temporal context into the per-user subagent prompt:

## Temporal Context (from chronicle)

The following events occurred near this user's last feedback:

{chronicle_context}

Use these events to explain score movements and contextualize follow-up questions.
If a score changed after a release, reference the specific release.

This section is added after the canvas data and growth state, before the subagent generates the follow-up message.
