SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill captures patterns and corrections during sessions, stores them in Forgetful memory, and graduates proven instincts to skills.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Capture corrections and observed patterns from sessions to Forgetful memory.
  • Track invocation counts and confidence to guide automatic evolution into skills.
  • Reinforce successful approaches and apply governance to avoid contradictions, with commands to review and export.

Quick Start

Run the following commands to interact with instincts:

  • /instinct-status — List instincts with confidence and invocations.
  • /instinct-export — Export instincts to a JSON file.
  • /evolve — Graduate eligible instincts to skills (with auditing and review).

Frequently Asked Questions about instincts

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I capture recurring user preferences and turn them into reliable patterns?

To capture recurring user preferences, you can record observed patterns and corrections during sessions into Forgetful memory, which tracks confidence and invocations to graduate proven instincts into reliable patterns automatically.

What are the requirements to graduate learned patterns into permanent skills?

Graduating learned patterns into permanent skills requires meeting strict criteria: confidence must exceed 0.9, invocations must surpass 10, and the pattern must have no contradictions with existing rules or workflows.

How do I review and export tracked session patterns to a file?

You can review and export tracked session patterns by running the /instinct-status command to list them with confidence scores, then using the /instinct-export command to save the instincts to a JSON file.

How does memory track successful approaches across different workflows?

Forgetful memory tracks successful approaches across workflows by storing observed corrections and patterns during active sessions, automatically reinforcing successful approaches while applying governance to avoid contradictions.

Can I apply automatic recall and adaptation for recurring workflow corrections?

Yes, automatic recall and adaptation for recurring workflow corrections is enabled once an instinct proves reliable, allowing the system to automatically apply learned preferences across your active workflows.

What is the best way to evolve proven instincts into automated skills?

The best way to evolve proven instincts into automated skills is using the /evolve command, which graduates eligible instincts through auditing and review once confidence and invocation thresholds are met.
