Mistake Patterns
Track recurring mistakes to prevent them. When you notice something going wrong repeatedly, document it here so the AI can help you avoid it.
Active Patterns
Add patterns here as you discover them. Each pattern should have:
- A clear name
- What triggers it
- The impact
- How to avoid it
Example Pattern — Task Scope Creep
- Trigger: Starting a task without clear boundaries
- Impact: Tasks take 3x longer than expected
- Mitigation: Always define "done" before starting
Resolved Patterns
Move patterns here when you've successfully changed the behavior
How to Use
- When you notice a recurring mistake, add it to Active Patterns
- Include specific triggers so the AI can spot them early
- Once you've changed the behavior for 2+ weeks, move to Resolved
- Review this file during weekly reviews
The AI will surface relevant patterns during session start.
