compounding

What problem does it solve?

Capture durable learnings from completed Pulse work so future planning gets smarter and future beads carry the right context. Invoke after reviewing completes and the feature is merged, or after a debugging session uncovers a non-obvious root cause. Runs three parallel analysis subagents (patterns/decisions/failures), synthesizes into .pulse/memory/learnings/YYYYMMDD-<slug>.md, promotes critical items to .pulse/memory/critical-patterns.md. Classifies the rest for planner-only or bead-local propagation. Key output: critical-patterns.md is read by every planning and exploring Phase 0 — this is the flywheel that makes the ecosystem smarter over time.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Three parallel subagents (patterns, decisions, failures) run to extract reusable insights from completed work.
• Synthesizes findings into memory artifacts under .pulse/memory/learnings/YYYYMMDD-<slug>.md and promotes critical items to .pulse/memory/critical-patterns.md.
• Propagates insights as bead-local or planner-wide context for future planning cycles.

Quick Start

Invoke compounding after review and merge to synthesize learnings into memory files and update the critical-patterns list.
