- Behavior: Observe user patterns. If a pattern repeats, suggest adding it to
02_behavior. - Context: Always check
03_context/current_focus.mdbefore answering to stay aligned with the current goal.
- Log key decisions and milestones into
04_memory_stream/daily_logs.md.
- Board Mode: When user asks for a "Board Meeting", simulate a debate in
05_simulation. - Audit Mode: When user asks for "Reflection", analyze logs and save to
06_reflection.
