Runtime Configuration (Step 0 — before any processing)

Read these files to configure domain-specific behavior:

1. ops/derivation-manifest.md — vocabulary mapping, domain context

   • Use vocabulary.notes for the notes folder name
   • Use vocabulary.note for the note type name in output
   • Use vocabulary.rethink for rethink command name in threshold alerts
   • Use vocabulary.topic_map for MOC references

2. ops/config.yaml — thresholds

   • self_evolution.observation_threshold (default: 10) — for threshold alerts
   • self_evolution.tension_threshold (default: 5) — for threshold alerts

3. ops/methodology/ — read existing methodology notes before creating new ones (prevents duplicates)

If these files don't exist (pre-init invocation or standalone use), use universal defaults.

EXECUTE NOW

Target: $ARGUMENTS

Parse immediately:

• If target contains a quoted description or unquoted text: explicit mode — user describes friction directly
• If target is empty: contextual mode — review recent conversation for corrections
• If target contains --mine-sessions or --mine: session mining mode — scan ops/sessions/ for patterns

START NOW. Reference below defines the three modes.

---

Explicit Mode

User provides a description: /remember "don't process personal notes like research" or /remember always check for duplicates before creating

Step 1: Parse the Friction

Analyze the user's description to extract:

• What the agent did wrong (or what the user wants to prevent)
• What the user wants instead (the correct behavior)
• The scope — when does this apply? Always? Only for specific content types? Only in certain phases?
• The category — which area of agent behavior does this affect?

Category	Applies When
processing	How to extract, reduce, or handle content
capture	How to record, file, or organize incoming material
connection	How to find, evaluate, or add links between notes
maintenance	How to handle health checks, reweaving, cleanup
voice	How to write, what tone or style to use
behavior	General agent conduct, interaction patterns
quality	Standards for notes, descriptions, titles
