🪞 21 天自我访谈 · 21 Days of Self-Interview

每晚三个问题,一面慢慢显影的镜子。 Three questions every night. A mirror that slowly develops.

让 AI 每晚主动问你三个对人生真正重要的问题——并且记得你的回答, 在第 7、14、21 天把你自己的话回映给你。 An AI that asks you three meaningful questions each night — and remembers your answers, reflecting your own words back to you on Days 7, 14, and 21.

这是什么

大多数自省工具失败,是因为它们没有记忆——你今晚写的东西,明天就沉进 日记本里再没人看。

「21 天自我访谈」不一样。它让一个 AI 扮演资深的存在主义心理咨询师, 连续 21 个夜晚、每晚问你三个层层递进的问题,记住你的每一个回答, 并在第 7、14、21 天把你自己说过的原话拼成一张画像,还给你看。

重点不是给你建议,而是帮你看清自己:你实际在做什么、被什么驱动、 接下来选择成为谁。

被长时间地看见,是人很少获得、却极其渴望的体验。这就是这个项目想给你的。

21 个夜晚的设计

不是随便凑的题。三个七天阶段,层层递进:

阶段天数主题
🔍 看见Day 1–7起点 · 时间 · 能量 · 注意力 · 身体 · 面具 · 第一周回看
🧭 理解Day 8–14恐惧 · 渴望 · 剧本 · 重复 · 关系 · 遗憾 · 第二周回看
🕯️ 选择Day 15–21价值 · 自由与责任 · 有限 · 真实 · 承诺 · 给予 · 自画像

先看见,再理解,最后才谈选择。 这个顺序是刻意的——跳过"看见"直接谈 "你想成为谁",只会得到漂亮的空话。

借鉴了存在主义心理学(Yalom、Frankl)、苏格拉底式提问、正念观察、叙事疗法 与习惯科学。详见 references/method.md

快速开始

这是一个 Hermes Agent skill, 配合每晚的定时任务运行。

# 1. 克隆
git clone https://github.com/Forlives/21-day-self-interview.git
cd 21-day-self-interview

# 2. 开始你的 21 天(中文)
python si.py init --lang zh        # 英文用 --lang en

# 3. 看看今晚该问什么
python si.py prompt
python si.py status

然后让你的 AI agent 加载这个 skill,并设一个每晚的定时任务(例如 22:00)。 在 Hermes 里:

把 21-day-self-interview 这个 skill 装上,
每晚 22:00 提醒我做今天的自我访谈。

agent 会在每晚:取出当天的问题 → 像咨询师一样一个个问你 → 记录你的回答 → 在回映日把你过去的话讲给你听。

不依赖任何第三方库

si.py 是纯 Python 标准库。题库是纯 JSON。你可以:

  • 改任何一个问题(编辑 questions.zh.json / questions.en.json
  • 加一种新语言
  • fork 成 7 天 / 30 天的版本

只要保持「看见 → 理解 → 选择」的递进,它就立得住。欢迎 PR 你的题库变体。

一句重要的话

这是一面镜子,不是医生。如果你正经历持续的痛苦或危机,请寻求专业的、 真实的人类帮助。详见 references/safety.md

What it is

Most self-reflection tools fail because they have no memory — what you write tonight sinks into a notebook and is never seen again.

21 Days of Self-Interview is different. It casts an AI as a seasoned existential-psychology counselor who asks you three carefully sequenced questions every night for 21 nights, remembers every answer, and on Days 7, 14, and 21 weaves your own past words into a portrait and hands it back.

The point isn't advice. It's to help you see yourself clearly: what you actually do, what drives it, and who you choose to become from here.

Being seen over time is something people rarely get and deeply crave. That's what this project is built to give.

The 21-night arc

Three phases of seven, deliberately ordered:

PhaseDaysThemes
🔍 SeeDay 1–7Starting point · Time · Energy · Attention · Body · Masks · Week-one review
🧭 UnderstandDay 8–14Fear · Longing · Script · Repetition · Relationships · Regret · Week-two review
🕯️ ChooseDay 15–21Values · Freedom & responsibility · Finitude · Authenticity · Commitment · Giving · Self-portrait

See first, understand next, only then choose. Skip "See" and you get pretty, hollow answers. Draws on existential psychology (Yalom, Frankl), Socratic questioning, mindful observation, narrative therapy, and habit science. See references/method.md.

Quick start

This is a Hermes Agent skill that runs with a nightly scheduled task.

git clone https://github.com/Forlives/21-day-self-interview.git
cd 21-day-self-interview

python si.py init --lang en        # or --lang zh for Chinese
python si.py prompt
python si.py status

Then have your AI agent load the skill and set a nightly cron (e.g. 22:00). The agent each night will: fetch the day's questions → ask you one at a time like a counselor → record your answers → reflect your own past words back on review days.

Zero dependencies

si.py is pure Python stdlib. The question banks are plain JSON. Edit any question, add a language, or fork it into a 7-day / 30-day version — as long as you keep the "See → Understand → Choose" progression. PRs with your own variants are welcome.

One important note

This is a mirror, not a doctor. If you're going through persistent pain or crisis, please seek professional, human help. See references/safety.md.
