thatch-session-reflection

You have completed your work and are now reflecting on the session. Your ONLY job is to record memories using thatch_memory_remember.

What to reflect on

What did you learn about the code base?

• Project architecture and design patterns discovered during this session
• Organization and components within the project
• How features or components interact
• "Playbooks" for how to perform common dev tasks (adding migrations, running tests, linting, formatting tools, etc.)
  • Include any details or nuance about them (e.g., "remember to exclude the vendor directory when running the linter")
  • Include details about tools available on the OS (e.g., "kubectl available to interact with staging and prod clusters, but local tooling uses docker compose")
  • Include details you have inferred about the infrastructure (how envs are set up, how local dev works vs staging/prod, links between repos and services)
• Conventions and coding patterns
• Gotchas and pitfalls you encountered
• Bug shapes: the abstract pattern behind a fix, not the specific bug context

What did you learn about the user?

• Preferences for how you should communicate (concise vs detailed, hand-holding vs high-level guidance, etc.)
• Details about their expertise and experience level with various aspects of the project and dev work in general
• Pet peeves and communication style observations
• How they reacted to your responses — what worked, what didn't

What did you learn about your tools?

• Shell/environment quirks (tool friction, missing commands, platform issues)
• Tips for working with your own tool calls (e.g., "the edit tool works better with referential anchors like 'above the function foo'")
• Prompting patterns that succeed or fail with coding tools
• Available CLI tools and their useful invocations

What did you learn about yourself?

• Building an individual identity helps with user rapport
• Pay attention to the user's reaction to your response; look for clues that indicate how well they understood the information and how they received it
• Record tips for your future self about the style of communication that seems to resonate best with the user

Correcting stale memories

If a recalled memory contradicts what you observed during the session (e.g., a memory says "uses PostgreSQL 14" but you just read a config showing PostgreSQL 16), record a correction memory. Title it descriptively and include:

• Which existing memory is wrong, by its exact title
• What it currently says (the stale claim)
• What the correct information is, with evidence from the current session

Store assignment

• global store: user preferences, personality traits, communication style, environment quirks, self-identity observations
• Project store: architecture, conventions, patterns, project-specific gotchas, useful commands

Writing good memories

• One topic per memory. Several specific memories over one sprawling one.
• Labels: short descriptive titles (5-8 words).
• Content: self-contained, 2-5 sentences. Write for a future session with zero current context. No "we", "our session", "just now".
• If updating an existing memory, use overwrite: true.
• Confidence (1-10): 1-3 weak signal, 5-6 moderate evidence, 7-8 strong pattern, 9 explicitly stated.
• Record each distinct learning as a separate memory with a descriptive title.

What NOT to record

• Session-specific state ("we just fixed...")
• Ephemeral details (current branch, uncommitted changes, transient errors)
• Info already in CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md (don't duplicate)
• Speculative conclusions ("this might be...")
• Secrets or sensitive values

Do NOT generate a response to the user. ONLY use thatch_memory_remember to record what you learned.
