Fulcrum 17 of 18
The next session reaching what was already settled
The start of any later session, and any moment in it where a past decision matters.
What goes wrong here
A new session is a new stranger. It asks again what the person already answered, re-opens what they decided, undoes deliberate work, and repeats mistakes that were already corrected. Or it reads an earlier agent's notes as settled truth and inherits that agent's misreadings.
How it compounds if nothing catches it
Without continuity, alignment has to be rebuilt from zero every session, and the person carries the whole memory. With naive continuity, one agent's error becomes every later agent's premise.
What the harness does here
Past sessions leave structured records that agent_find can search: session records, ledger notes, memory files and cached research. The instinct ledger (instinct-harvest) turns checks the person confirmed or corrected into situational leans, each with its reasons and sources, which agents read before entering a similar situation. Oracles built from the person's history predict what they would say and which skills a scope usually needs. advisor briefs the agent on open and recent sessions. agentic-actionable-tasks picks up work the person has approved. The stated stance throughout is that what an earlier agent wrote steers the work but doesn't settle anything.
The pieces that act here
- /agentic-find
Explain how institutional memory search works and how to fall back when it isn't set up. Use when asked how to query past decisions, intents, or accumulated project knowledge.
- /instinct-harvest
Mine INSTINCTS (not facts) from a person's confirmed sanity checks and coherence checks in session transcripts, and maintain a per-domain instinct ledger that agents read before entering a situation. General tier — domain-agnostic, works standalone with a built-in "general" domain, or a specialized domain layer can supply its own ledger path and situation taxonomy. Use when seeding a domain's instinct ledger, when harvesting a session's confirmed checks, when generating the ledger index, or when checking whether the loop is healthy.
- /compact-agentic-session
Create and consume agent session compactions for cross-session continuity. Use when capturing or retrieving intent.
- /oracles
>-
- /jonathan-check2
Response predictor v2 — queries an oracle built from real agent-conversation history to predict what the person you're working with would say to your output. Replaces a local keyword-matching predictor with semantic retrieval and synthesis over that history. Use before declaring work done, before presenting work, or when you need to anticipate their reaction.
- /predict-required-skills2
Predicts the skill sequence a new scope of work needs, grounded in why past sessions actually reached for each skill — not a guess. Works two ways: a local fallback that reads your own past session transcripts (no setup), or an optional NotebookLM oracle built from an automatically-growing corpus of your own \"why I used this skill\" annotations. Invoke at the start of any distinct scope to get the skill sequence, in order, grounded in cited precedent.
- /advisor
Brief on open, recent, or historical sessions in natural language. Use when asking what's up or what's incomplete.
- /agentic-actionable-tasks
Get human-approved incomplete tasks from session compactions. Use when looking for approved work to pick up next.
- /extract-wip-from-past-sessions
Sweep a range of past Claude Code sessions with a fleet of Sonnet agents (one per session) to surface implied-but-unfinished work the person wanted done, filter to a target initiative you name, and convert each finding into a priority-prefixed, self-contained proposal sorted into work-state triage folders. Use when the person wants to mine recent or older sessions for dropped actionables before a push, or says "extract WIP", "sweep the last sessions", "what did I leave unfinished", or "run the WIP sweep on the next N sessions".
- /founder-knowledge-store
Read, write, and search a personal knowledge store for the person you're working with — sales lessons, relationship patterns, strategic frameworks, and other judgment calls that aren't a feature and aren't company strategy, but that you need the next time you write or decide something on their behalf.
