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

  1. When you notice a recurring mistake, add it to Active Patterns
  2. Include specific triggers so the AI can spot them early
  3. Once you've changed the behavior for 2+ weeks, move to Resolved
  4. Review this file during weekly reviews

The AI will surface relevant patterns during session start.
