I'm Pretty Amazing

Interact with imprettyamazing.com to track accomplishments.

First-Time Setup

On first use, check TOOLS.md for an ### I'm Pretty Amazing section.

Persisted auth data should include cookie values and JWT expiry metadata so auth can be reused until expiration:

### I'm Pretty Amazing
- **Username:** their-username (optional)
- **Access Token Cookie:** eyJhbGciOi...
- **Refresh Token Cookie:** eyJhbGciOi... (optional but recommended)
- **Access Token Expires At (UTC):** 2026-03-21T03:04:46Z

Token handling:

• Never commit token values to git-tracked files.
• Never print full session token values (access_token, refresh_token) in chat responses or logs. One-time verification codes from email are safe to paste in chat since they expire on use.

If auth cookies are missing or expired:

1. Ask the user: "Do you have an I'm Pretty Amazing account, or should I create one?"
2. New account: Collect username, email, and password → POST /auth/register. Remind them to verify their email. If they want in-chat help, ask them to paste the verification token (or tokenized verification URL) from their email, then call POST /auth/verify-email with that token.
3. Existing account: Continue.
4. Before asking for credentials, tell the user: "I'll need your email and password to log in. They'll be sent directly to the I'm Pretty Amazing API and won't be stored." Then prompt for email and password.
5. Call POST /auth/login.
6. If login fails, re-prompt for email/password.
7. After successful login, ask the user: "Want me to save your session tokens so you stay logged in for future requests? They'll be stored in plaintext in TOOLS.md and expire automatically. Decline if others can access your TOOLS.md." If they agree, persist access_token, refresh_token (if present), and access-token expiry in TOOLS.md. If they decline, use the cookie file for this session only.
8. Never persist email/password in TOOLS.md.
9. Reuse persisted auth cookies until the stored access-token expiry time.

Never hardcode credentials in commands.

Authentication Pattern (follow exactly)

Session cookies are required for most endpoints.

No-login endpoints:

• POST /auth/register
• POST /auth/login
• POST /auth/forgot-password
• POST /auth/reset-password
• POST /auth/verify-email

Cookie-auth endpoints:

• POST /auth/resend-verification
• GET /auth/me
• All wins, comments, likes, follows, blocks, profile, feed, and feedback endpoints

For cookie-auth endpoints, follow these steps:

Step 0 — Reuse persisted auth if still valid (preferred):

1. Read persisted Access Token Cookie (and Refresh Token Cookie if available) from TOOLS.md.
2. Verify that Access Token Cookie is present and Access Token Expires At (UTC) is a valid ISO 8601 timestamp (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ). If either is missing or malformed, continue to Step 1.
3. If Access Token Expires At (UTC) is in the future, rebuild a cookie jar from those values and use that jar for requests.
4. If expired, continue to Step 1.

Canonical cookie-jar rebuild snippet (substitute persisted values from TOOLS.md):

IPA_COOKIE_FILE="/tmp/ipa-cookies-$$.txt"

ACCESS_TOKEN="\x3CAccess Token Cookie from TOOLS.md>"
REFRESH_TOKEN="\x3CRefresh Token Cookie from TOOLS.md>"

cat > "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" \x3C\x3CEOF
# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
.imprettyamazing.com	TRUE	/	TRUE	0	access_token	$ACCESS_TOKEN
.imprettyamazing.com	TRUE	/	TRUE	0	refresh_token	$REFRESH_TOKEN
EOF

If Refresh Token Cookie is unavailable, omit the REFRESH_TOKEN assignment and the refresh_token line.

Step 1 — Login (do this once, before any other calls):

IPA_COOKIE_FILE="/tmp/ipa-cookies-$$.txt"

curl -s -X POST https://api.imprettyamazing.com/auth/login \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"email":"EMAIL","password":"PASSWORD"}' \
  -c "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE"

The -c flag saves auth cookies (access_token and refresh_token) to the cookie file.

After login, extract cookie values. If the user opted in to session persistence (see First-Time Setup step 7), persist them to TOOLS.md with access-token expiry (from JWT exp).

Canonical cookie extraction snippet (from curl cookie jar):

ACCESS_TOKEN="$(awk '$6=="access_token" {print $7}' "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" | tail -n 1)"
REFRESH_TOKEN="$(awk '$6=="refresh_token" {print $7}' "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" | tail -n 1)"

test -n "$ACCESS_TOKEN" || { echo "Missing access_token in cookie jar"; exit 1; }

Canonical expiry extraction snippet (from access_token):

# ACCESS_TOKEN should be the cookie value only (no "access_token=" prefix)
ACCESS_TOKEN="..."

ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_AT_UTC="$(python3 - \x3C\x3C'PY'
import base64, json, os
token = os.environ["ACCESS_TOKEN"]
payload = token.split('.')[1]
payload += '=' * (-len(payload) % 4)
data = json.loads(base64.urlsafe_b64decode(payload.encode()).decode())
from datetime import datetime, timezone
print(datetime.fromtimestamp(data['exp'], tz=timezone.utc).strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'))
PY
)"

echo "$ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_AT_UTC"

Persist ACCESS_TOKEN_EXPIRES_AT_UTC as Access Token Expires At (UTC) in TOOLS.md. Persist ACCESS_TOKEN as Access Token Cookie and REFRESH_TOKEN (if present) as Refresh Token Cookie.

Step 2 — Make API calls (reuse the cookie file):

curl -s https://api.imprettyamazing.com/wins/my-wins \
  -b "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE"

Use -b "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" on every cookie-auth request.

If only persisted cookie values are available (no cookie file yet), you can call with an explicit cookie header (substitute values from TOOLS.md):

curl -s https://api.imprettyamazing.com/wins/my-wins \
  -H "Cookie: access_token=\x3CAccess Token Cookie from TOOLS.md>; refresh_token=\x3CRefresh Token Cookie from TOOLS.md>"

Step 3 — Handle expired sessions: If any call returns {"statusCode": 401, ...}:

1. Prompt again for email/password (session-only).
2. Call POST /auth/login again and overwrite the cookie file with -c.
3. Re-extract cookies from IPA_COOKIE_FILE. If session persistence was previously opted in, update access_token, refresh_token, and Access Token Expires At (UTC) in TOOLS.md.
4. Retry the failed call.

Rules:

• Never store email/password in TOOLS.md.
• Always send -b "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" for cookie-auth endpoints.
• Use a unique cookie filename per session to avoid conflicts.
• Reuse persisted auth cookies until access-token expiry, then re-login.
• If cookies are missing or invalid, prompt for email/password and re-login.
• Cookies may contain JWT-based tokens (for example access_token), but authentication is performed by sending cookies.

Confirmation Before Mutations

Before any state-changing action, get explicit user confirmation. This includes:

• POST, PATCH, and DELETE calls (for example creating/updating/deleting wins, comments, follows, blocks, profile updates, feedback)
• Account creation via POST /auth/register

Read-only GET requests do not require additional confirmation.

API Notes

• All endpoints use JSON (Content-Type: application/json) except POST /profile/avatar and POST /profile/cover (multipart form data for file uploads).
• Success responses vary by endpoint (single object, list with pagination, or empty body such as some DELETE responses).
• Errors return: {"statusCode": \x3Ccode>, "message": {"message": [...], "error": "...", "statusCode": \x3Ccode>}}. Always check for statusCode in the response.

Posting a Win

Login first (see Authentication Pattern above), then:

IPA_COOKIE_FILE="/tmp/ipa-cookies-$$.txt"

curl -s -X POST https://api.imprettyamazing.com/wins \
  -b "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{"content":"Your win here","type":"PERSONAL","visibility":"PUBLIC"}'

# Success response:
# {"id":"...","content":"Your win here","type":"PERSONAL","visibility":"PUBLIC","status":"APPROVED",...}
#
# Error response:
# {"statusCode":400,"message":{"message":["content should not be empty"],"error":"Bad Request","statusCode":400}}

STAR Format

Wins can optionally include a STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) breakdown. Pass a starFormat object when creating or updating a win.

All four fields are required when starFormat is provided — omitting any field returns a 500 error.

curl -s -X POST https://api.imprettyamazing.com/wins \
  -b "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "content": "Your win here",
    "type": "PROFESSIONAL",
    "visibility": "PUBLIC",
    "tags": ["tag1", "tag2"],
    "starFormat": {
      "situation": "What was the context or challenge?",
      "task": "What needed to be done?",
      "action": "What did you do?",
      "result": "What was the outcome?"
    }
  }'

STAR format can also be added to existing wins via PATCH:

curl -s -X PATCH https://api.imprettyamazing.com/wins/:id \
  -b "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
    "starFormat": {
      "situation": "...",
      "task": "...",
      "action": "...",
      "result": "..."
    }
  }'

STAR Format Object Fields

id, winId, situation, task, action, result, createdAt, updatedAt

Win Types

PERSONAL, PROFESSIONAL, HEALTH, SOCIAL, CREATIVE, LEARNING

Visibility

PUBLIC (visible to all users) or PRIVATE (only visible to the poster).

Other Actions

All cookie-auth actions require -b "$IPA_COOKIE_FILE" after login. The API reference at references/api.md is the complete endpoint documentation. Read it before using any endpoint not shown above.

• Update/delete wins: PATCH /wins/:id (JSON body), DELETE /wins/:id
• Comments: POST /wins/:id/comments with {"content": "..."}, GET /wins/:id/comments
• Likes: POST /wins/:id/like, DELETE /wins/:id/like (toggle)
• Follow/unfollow: POST /follows/:userId, DELETE /follows/:userId
• Profile: PATCH /profile (JSON: username, bio max 500 chars, location, website)
• Avatar/cover: POST /profile/avatar (multipart avatar), POST /profile/cover (multipart cover, keep file small)
• Feedback: POST /feedback with {"category": "BUG|FEATURE_REQUEST|GENERAL", "message": "...", "pageUrl": "...", "pageContext": "..."}

Clear Session

If the user asks to log out or clear their session, remove the ### I'm Pretty Amazing section from TOOLS.md and delete any /tmp/ipa-cookies-*.txt files.

Proactive Usage

When the user accomplishes something notable — ships a feature, closes a deal, solves a hard problem, learns something new — suggest posting it as a win. Draft the content and confirm before posting.
