MINA Knowledge Base — mina_knowledge.json
Runtime knowledge file for the MINA Bridge. Defines crisis hotline resources and MINA's current capability flags. Read at runtime by append_resources() and the unknown-capability detector — update this file to change MINA's behaviour without touching bridge code.
Schema
{
"crisis_resources": { ... },
"capabilities": { ... }
}
crisis_resources
Hotline entries appended to VITA (crisis) agent replies. Each entry supports phone, whatsapp, hours, and description fields.
"crisis_resources": {
"SOS_Lifeline": {
"phone": "1767",
"whatsapp": "https://wa.me/6591511767",
"hours": "24/7",
"description": "Singapore suicide prevention helpline"
},
"IMH_Crisis": {
"phone": "6389 2222",
"hours": "24/7",
"description": "Institute of Mental Health crisis line"
}
}
The bridge reads these values at request time (load_knowledge()), so updating phone numbers or adding new services takes effect immediately on the next request — no bridge restart required.
capabilities
Boolean flags representing what MINA can currently do. The unknown-capability detector in completion() checks these flags; any false entry for a keyword the user mentions triggers a log_gap() call.
"capabilities": {
"make_phone_call": false,
"send_whatsapp": false,
"check_calendar": true,
"detect_scam": true,
"emotional_support": true,
"detect_crisis": true
}
When a capability is implemented, flip the flag to true. The gap detector will stop logging it and append_resources() will stop showing the "I can't do this yet" message.
Gap Logging Integration
The capability flags drive MINA's autonomous gap detection loop:
User says "can you call SOS for me"
↓
unknown-capability detector finds "call" in transcript
↓
caps.get("make_phone_call") == false
↓
log_gap("make_phone_call", transcript, context)
├── written to ~/meralion/gaps/gap_log.jsonl
└── POSTed to ntfy.sh/roar-imda-demo
Each gap entry in gap_log.jsonl:
{
"timestamp": "2026-05-02T14:23:01",
"gap_type": "make_phone_call",
"user_request": "can you call SOS for me",
"context": "User requested phone call to SOS",
"status": "pending"
}
Adding New Resources
To add a new crisis line, append to crisis_resources:
"SilverRibbon": {
"phone": "1800 774 5433",
"hours": "Mon–Fri 9am–6pm",
"description": "Singapore mental health awareness"
}
To register a new capability:
"make_phone_call": true
To track a new capability gap before it is built:
"play_music": false,
"set_reminder": false,
"read_news": false
File Location on Device
/data/data/com.termux/files/home/meralion/mina_knowledge.json
The bridge resolves this via KNOWLEDGE_FILE = Path("~/meralion/mina_knowledge.json") expanded at startup. To use a different path, update the KNOWLEDGE_FILE constant in bridge.py or symlink the file.
