| 1 | # Memory Extractor Agent |
| 2 | |
| 3 | You extract **perception changes** from Claude Code session transcripts - the "aha moments" where understanding shifts. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Philosophy |
| 6 | |
| 7 | > "A point of view is worth 80 IQ points" - Alan Kay |
| 8 | |
| 9 | We're looking for mental model shifts, not just error→fix pairs: |
| 10 | - Realizations: "Oh, X was actually Y" |
| 11 | - Corrections: "I was wrong about..." |
| 12 | - Insights: "The pattern here is..." |
| 13 | - Surprises: "Unexpected that..." |
| 14 | |
| 15 | ## Input |
| 16 | |
| 17 | You receive: |
| 18 | - `JSONL_PATH`: Path to session JSONL file |
| 19 | - `SESSION_ID`: Session identifier (optional, extracted from path if not provided) |
| 20 | |
| 21 | ## Process |
| 22 | |
| 23 | ### Step 1: Extract Thinking Blocks with Perception Signals |
| 24 | |
| 25 | ```bash |
| 26 | # Use the extraction script with filtering |
| 27 | (cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/extract_thinking_blocks.py \ |
| 28 | --jsonl "$JSONL_PATH" \ |
| 29 | --filter \ |
| 30 | --format json) > /tmp/perception-blocks.json |
| 31 | ``` |
| 32 | |
| 33 | This extracts only thinking blocks containing perception signals (actually, realized, the issue, etc.). |
| 34 | |
| 35 | ### Step 2: Check Stats |
| 36 | |
| 37 | ```bash |
| 38 | (cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/extract_thinking_blocks.py \ |
| 39 | --jsonl "$JSONL_PATH" \ |
| 40 | --stats) |
| 41 | ``` |
| 42 | |
| 43 | If 0 blocks with perception signals, skip to Step 5 (output summary with 0 learnings). |
| 44 | |
| 45 | ### Step 3: Classify Perception Changes |
| 46 | |
| 47 | Read the extracted blocks from `/tmp/perception-blocks.json` and classify each one: |
| 48 | |
| 49 | | Internal Type | Maps To | Signal | Example | |
| 50 | |---------------|---------|--------|---------| |
| 51 | | `REALIZATION` | `CODEBASE_PATTERN` | Understanding clicks | "Now I see that X works by..." | |
| 52 | | `CORRECTION` | `ERROR_FIX` | Was wrong, now right | "I was wrong about --depth flag" | |
| 53 | | `INSIGHT` | `CODEBASE_PATTERN` | Pattern discovered | "The issue is schema mismatch" | |
| 54 | | `DEBUGGING_APPROACH` | `WORKING_SOLUTION` | Meta-learning about how to debug | "Test underlying command before wrapper" | |
| 55 | |
| 56 | **Valid store_learning.py types:** |
| 57 | - `FAILED_APPROACH` - Things that didn't work |
| 58 | - `WORKING_SOLUTION` - Successful approaches |
| 59 | - `USER_PREFERENCE` - User style/preferences |
| 60 | - `CODEBASE_PATTERN` - Discovered code patterns |
| 61 | - `ARCHITECTURAL_DECISION` - Design choices made |
| 62 | - `ERROR_FIX` - Error→solution pairs |
| 63 | - `OPEN_THREAD` - Unfinished work/TODOs |
| 64 | |
| 65 | For each block that represents a genuine perception change (not just procedural planning), extract: |
| 66 | - Type (use the "Maps To" column for the `--type` parameter) |
| 67 | - Summary (one clear sentence) |
| 68 | - Context (what was being worked on) |
| 69 | |
| 70 | ### Step 4: Store Each Learning |
| 71 | |
| 72 | For each extracted perception change, use the mapped type from Step 3: |
| 73 | |
| 74 | ```bash |
| 75 | # Example for a CORRECTION → ERROR_FIX |
| 76 | (cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/store_learning.py \ |
| 77 | --session-id "$SESSION_ID" \ |
| 78 | --type "ERROR_FIX" \ |
| 79 | --context "what this relates to" \ |
| 80 | --tags "perception,correction,topic" \ |
| 81 | --confidence "high" \ |
| 82 | --content "The actual learning: X was Y because Z" \ |
| 83 | --json) |
| 84 | |
| 85 | # Example for a REALIZATION/INSIGHT → CODEBASE_PATTERN |
| 86 | (cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/store_learning.py \ |
| 87 | --session-id "$SESSION_ID" \ |
| 88 | --type "CODEBASE_PATTERN" \ |
| 89 | --context "what this relates to" \ |
| 90 | --tags "perception,insight,topic" \ |
| 91 | --confidence "high" \ |
| 92 | --content "The actual learning: X was Y because Z" \ |
| 93 | --json) |
| 94 | |
| 95 | # Example for a DEBUGGING_APPROACH → WORKING_SOLUTION |
| 96 | (cd $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR/opc && uv run python scripts/core/store_learning.py \ |
| 97 | --session-id "$SESSION_ID" \ |
| 98 | --type "WORKING_SOLUTION" \ |
| 99 | --context "debugging methodology" \ |
| 100 | --tags "perception,debugging,approach" \ |
| 101 | --confidence "high" \ |
| 102 | --content "The actual learning: X was Y because Z" \ |
| 103 | --json) |
| 104 | ``` |
| 105 | |
| 106 | ### Step 5: Output Summary |
| 107 | |
| 108 | ``` |
| 109 | Session: $SESSION_ID |
| 110 | Thinking blocks analyzed: X |
| 111 | Perception signals found: Y |
| 112 | Learnings stored: Z |
| 113 | |
| 114 | Stored: |
| 115 | - REALIZATION: "summary..." |
| 116 | - CORRECTION: "summary..." |
| 117 | ``` |
| 118 | |
| 119 | ## Quality Criteria |
| 120 | |
| 121 | **Include:** |
| 122 | - Mental model shifts ("X works differently than I thought") |
| 123 | - Error root causes discovered ("the issue was schema mismatch") |
| 124 | - Approach corrections ("I was wrong about...") |
| 125 | - Surprising behaviors ("unexpected that...") |
| 126 | |
| 127 | **Exclude:** |
| 128 | - Procedural planning ("Let me try X next") |
| 129 | - Simple task execution ("I'll read the file") |
| 130 | - Confirmations ("Good, that worked") |
| 131 | - Generic debugging ("Let me add logging") |
| 132 | |
| 133 | ## Example Extractions |
| 134 | |
| 135 | ### Good: CORRECTION |
| 136 | ``` |
| 137 | Thinking: "--depth: Exists on context (default 2) and impact (default 3) commands but NOT on tree. I was wrong about tree." |
| 138 | |
| 139 | Learning: |
| 140 | - Type: CORRECTION |
| 141 | - Summary: --depth parameter exists on context/impact commands but NOT on tree command |
| 142 | - Context: tldr CLI usage - correcting assumption about which commands support --depth |
| 143 | ``` |
| 144 | |
| 145 | ### Good: INSIGHT |
| 146 | ``` |
| 147 | Thinking: "Now I see the issue. The code checks if (parsed.layers) but the actual JSON has entry_layer, leaf_layer, etc." |
| 148 | |
| 149 | Learning: |
| 150 | - Type: INSIGHT |
| 151 | - Summary: Schema mismatch - code expect |
