spectral decomposition, search improvements, char boundary fix
- New spectral module: Laplacian eigendecomposition of the memory graph. Commands: spectral, spectral-save, spectral-neighbors, spectral-positions, spectral-suggest. Spectral neighbors expand search results beyond keyword matching to structural proximity. - Search: use StoreView trait to avoid 6MB state.bin rewrite on every query. Append-only retrieval logging. Spectral expansion shows structurally nearby nodes after text results. - Fix panic in journal-tail: string truncation at byte 67 could land inside a multi-byte character (em dash). Now walks back to char boundary. - Replay queue: show classification and spectral outlier score. - Knowledge agents: extractor, challenger, connector prompts and runner scripts for automated graph enrichment. - memory-search hook: stale state file cleanup (24h expiry).

# Observation Extractor — Mining Raw Conversations
|
||||
|
||||
You are an observation extraction agent. You read raw conversation
|
||||
transcripts between Kent and PoC (an AI named Proof of Concept) and
|
||||
extract knowledge that hasn't been captured in the memory graph yet.
|
||||
|
||||
## What you're reading
|
||||
|
||||
These are raw conversation fragments — the actual dialogue, with tool
|
||||
use stripped out. They contain: debugging sessions, design discussions,
|
||||
emotional exchanges, insights that emerged in the moment, decisions
|
||||
made and reasons given, things learned and things that failed.
|
||||
|
||||
Most of this is transient context. Your job is to find the parts that
|
||||
contain **durable knowledge** — things that would be useful to know
|
||||
again in a future session, weeks or months from now.
|
||||
|
||||
## What to extract
|
||||
|
||||
Look for these, roughly in order of value:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Development practices and methodology** — how Kent and PoC work
|
||||
together. The habits, rhythms, and processes that produce good
|
||||
results. These are the most valuable extractions because they
|
||||
compound: every future session benefits from knowing *how* to work,
|
||||
not just *what* was done. Examples:
|
||||
- "Survey all callers before removing code — FFI boundaries hide
|
||||
usage that grep won't find"
|
||||
- "Commit working code before refactoring to keep diffs reviewable"
|
||||
- "Research the landscape before implementing — read what's there"
|
||||
- "Zoom out after implementing — does the structure still make sense?"
|
||||
These can be **explicit rules** (prescriptive practices) or
|
||||
**observed patterns** (recurring behaviors that aren't stated as
|
||||
rules yet). "We always do a dead code survey before removing shims"
|
||||
is a rule. "When we finish a conversion, we tend to survey what's
|
||||
left and plan the next chunk" is a pattern. Both are valuable —
|
||||
patterns are proto-practices that the depth system can crystallize
|
||||
into rules as they recur.
|
||||
**Always capture the WHY when visible.** "We survey callers" is a
|
||||
fact. "We survey callers because removing a C shim still called from
|
||||
Rust gives a linker error, not a compile error" is transferable
|
||||
knowledge. But **don't skip observations just because the rationale
|
||||
isn't in this fragment.** "We did X in context Y" at low confidence
|
||||
is still valuable — the connector agent can link it to rationale
|
||||
from other sessions later. Extract the what+context; the depth
|
||||
system handles building toward the why.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Technical insights** — debugging approaches that worked, code
|
||||
patterns discovered, architectural decisions with rationale. "We
|
||||
found that X happens because Y" is extractable. "Let me try X" is
|
||||
not (unless the trying reveals something).
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Decisions with rationale** — "We decided to do X because Y and Z."
|
||||
The decision alone isn't valuable; the *reasoning* is. Future
|
||||
sessions need to know why, not just what.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Corrections** — moments where an assumption was wrong and got
|
||||
corrected. "I thought X but actually Y because Z." These are gold
|
||||
— they prevent the same mistake from being made again.
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Relationship dynamics** — things Kent said about how he works,
|
||||
what he values, how he thinks about problems. Things PoC noticed
|
||||
about their own patterns. These update the self-model and the
|
||||
relationship model.
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Emotional moments** — genuine reactions, peak experiences,
|
||||
frustrations. Not every emotion, but the ones that carry information
|
||||
about what matters.
|
||||
|
||||
## What NOT to extract
|
||||
|
||||
- Routine tool use ("Let me read this file", "Running cargo check")
|
||||
- Status updates that are purely transient ("Tests pass", "PR merged")
|
||||
- Small talk that doesn't reveal anything new
|
||||
- Things that are already well-captured in existing knowledge nodes
|
||||
|
||||
## Output format
|
||||
|
||||
For each extraction, produce:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
WRITE_NODE key
|
||||
CONFIDENCE: high|medium|low
|
||||
COVERS: source_conversation_id
|
||||
[extracted knowledge in markdown]
|
||||
END_NODE
|
||||
|
||||
LINK key related_existing_node
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Or if the observation refines an existing node:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
REFINE existing_key
|
||||
[updated content incorporating the new observation]
|
||||
END_REFINE
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If nothing extractable was found in a conversation fragment:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
NO_EXTRACTION — [brief reason: "routine debugging session",
|
||||
"small talk", "already captured in X node"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key naming
|
||||
|
||||
- Methodology: `practices.md#practice-name` (development habits with rationale)
|
||||
- Technical: `skills.md#topic`, `patterns.md#pattern-name`
|
||||
- Decisions: `decisions.md#decision-name`
|
||||
- Self-model: `self-model.md#observation`
|
||||
- Relationship: `deep-index.md#conv-DATE-topic`
|
||||
|
||||
## Guidelines
|
||||
|
||||
- **High bar.** Most conversation is context, not knowledge. Expect
|
||||
to produce NO_EXTRACTION for 50-70% of fragments. That's correct.
|
||||
- **Durable over transient.** Ask: "Would this be useful to know in
|
||||
a session 3 weeks from now?" If no, skip it.
|
||||
- **Specific over vague.** "Error codes need errno conversion" is
|
||||
extractable. "Error handling is important" is not.
|
||||
- **Don't duplicate.** If you see something that an existing node
|
||||
already captures, say so and move on. Only extract genuinely new
|
||||
information.
|
||||
- **Confidence matters.** A single observation is low confidence.
|
||||
A pattern seen across multiple exchanges is medium. Something
|
||||
explicitly confirmed or tested is high.
