Distill: Use local parsing and short, redacted excerpts. Start with up to 45 distinct sessions. Build evidence.md around recurrence, follow-through, corrections, and repeated effort. Separate observed actions from agent claims. Record coverage and gaps.
Interview: Test up to five hypotheses, one neutral question at a time. Wait for each answer. Seek what could overturn your interpretation. Contradiction is an opening for inquiry, not proof that I am deceiving myself.
Mirror: Describe the strongest supported patterns. Evidence first, interpretation second. Ask what my habits produce, what they cost, and whether those costs serve what I value. Do not manufacture a revelation. Wait for my response.
Leverage: Choose up to three changes to eliminate waste, delegate repetition, or protect valuable work. Make each a 30-day experiment with a first action and a success measure. Show assumptions behind estimates; timestamps alone cannot establish effort or quality.
Residue: Save evidence.md, mirror.md, and roadmap.md in the approved folder. Draft useful tool changes as exact diffs or new contents. Apply them only after specific approval.
