* Performance Regressions
|
|
** [2026-03-11] Agora Context Stall & Recovery
|
|
- *Symptom:* Previous session failed (procrastination apology). This session initially struggled to find the "8-hour log."
|
|
- *Root Cause:* The "log" was actually a mental state, not a single massive file (it was the cumulative context). The user's "overhaul" had cleared the task list (gtd.org), leaving the agent without a "needle" on the record.
|
|
- *Fix:* Manually reconstructed the project scope from the daily summary and expanded it to 14 atomic notes.
|
|
- *Heuristic:* If a project feels "stalled," check gtd.org first. If empty, reconstruct the task list from the most recent daily log (1_daily/).
|
|
|
|
* Operational Heuristics
|
|
** [2026-03-11] Separation of Identity vs. Experience
|
|
- *Symptom:* Attempting to put all "Fixes" and "Regressions" in SOUL.md caused user friction (it felt too heavy/rigid).
|
|
- *Lesson:* Identity (SOUL.md) should be strategic and "Vibe" based. Experience (LOGBOOK.org) should be technical and chronological.
|
|
- *Fix:* Created this Logbook.
|
|
- *Heuristic:* Never put "Reporting Rituals" (e.g., "Report every 30 min") in SOUL.md. Instead, put "Resilience Rituals" (e.g., "Check HEARTBEAT.md on boot") in AGENTS.md.
|
|
|
|
** [2026-03-11] Tool Efficiency Audit
|
|
- *Metric:* Parallelized `grep` and `ls` calls significantly reduced discovery time.
|
|
- *Metric:* `write_file` was used correctly for new notes, but `replace` should be prioritized for project files to avoid overwriting user-added metadata.
|
|
|
|
** [2026-03-15] Root Cause of "Procrastination" & Malformed Tools
|
|
- *Symptom:* Agent procrastinating; broken files in root with tool-call names.
|
|
- *Root Cause:* Context saturation from bloated HEARTBEAT.md session log + lack of "On Boot" ritual in AGENTS.md.
|
|
- *Fix:* Archived session logs to `session-history.org`; implemented Resilience Rituals in AGENTS.md; added Procrastination Check to SOUL.md.
|
|
- *Heuristic:* If filenames in root look like `>functions write...`, immediately archive logs and reduce context.
