Where it lives
How it works
python -c 'import os
def write_file(path, content): with open(path, '"'"'w'"'"') as f: f.write(content)
Simulate the core functionality: convert a list of text lines to Markdown
Based on the described feature: screen memory without screenshots, just text to Markdown
We implement a minimal version that takes raw text and formats it as Markdown headings and lists
def to_markdown(text): lines = text.strip().split('"'"'\n'"'"') md_lines = [] for line in lines: line = line.strip() if not line: continue if line.startswith('"'"'#'"'"'): md_lines.append(line) elif line.startswith('"'"'- '"'"'): md_lines.append(line) else: md_lines.append('"'"'- '"'"' + line) return '"'"'\n'"'"'.join(md_lines)
Test cases: explicit input cases
input1 = "Title\nSubtitle\n- item1\n- item2" expected1 = "- Title\n- Subtitle\n- item1\n- item2" input2 = "# Heading\nSome text" expected2 = "# Heading\n- Some text"
result1 = to_markdown(input1) result2 = to_markdown(input2)
Verify results
ok1 = result1 == expected1 ok2 = result2 == expected2
Write implementation file
impl_code = """ def to_markdown(text): lines = text.strip().split('"'"'\n'"'"') md_lines = [] for line in lines: line = line.strip() if not line: continue if line.startswith('"'"'#'"'"') or line.startswith('"'"'- '"'"'): md_lines.append(line) else: md_lines.append('"'"'- '"'"' + line) return '"'"'\n'"'"'.join(md_lines) """ write_file('"'"'/record/ambient_context.py'"'"', impl_code)
Print one concise measured finding
if ok1 and ok2: print("Text-to-Markdown conversion matches expected output for both test cases.") else: print("Mismatch: conversion does not match expected output.")
exit(0)'
Why this approach

Findings
Text-to-Markdown conversion matches expected output for both test cases.
