What is the best way to remove unwanted AI assistant preferences from the instincts directory?

You can remove unwanted AI assistant preferences by deleting specific instinct files or clearing the entire .claude/instincts directory store. This prevents noisy or incorrect patterns from affecting future behavior.

How does promoting a learned instinct work in file management?

Promoting a learned instinct works by setting its confidence value to 1.0 and adding a pinned tag, which ensures the pattern always applies to future sessions and maintains consistent assistant behavior.

Can I list all extracted preferences and their metadata before deciding which ones to keep?

Yes, you can list all extracted preferences to review simple metadata such as confidence levels and last seen timestamps. This allows you to evaluate each pattern before promoting or removing it.

When should I review and curate learned AI assistant patterns?

You should review and curate learned AI assistant patterns when session-derived preferences accumulate outdated or noisy data. Regular curation keeps the assistant's behavior aligned with your current preferences.

Does the instinct-review skill support batch operations for clearing multiple pattern files?
