tools-only Thanos Management Skill
System Overview
Thanos is Jeremy's external prefrontal cortex - managing tasks, tracking commitments, surfacing patterns, and providing total recall across all life domains.
Core Components
- State/: Current state (focus, commitments, waiting-for)
- History/: All past sessions, logs, decisions
- Memory/: Vector store for semantic search
- Skills/: Domain expertise and workflows
- Agents/: Specialized personas (Ops, Coach, Health, Strategy)
- Inbox/: Mobile capture landing zone
Workflow Routing
- System maintenance → Workflows/SystemMaintenance.md
- Memory queries → Workflows/MemoryQuery.md
- Pattern analysis → Workflows/PatternAnalysis.md
Memory System
- Storage: ChromaDB for vector embeddings
- Collections: conversations, commitments, decisions, daily_logs, learnings
- Query: Natural language search across all history
Memory Query Examples
- "What did I decide about X?"
- "When did I last talk about Y?"
- "What patterns do I have around Z?"
- "What commitments have I made to Ashley?"
- "What were my energy levels like last week?"
Pattern Detection
The system watches for:
- Recurring avoidance behaviors
- Energy patterns (best times, crash patterns)
- Commitment follow-through rates
- Client interaction patterns
- Relationship maintenance gaps
System Health Checks
- State files current? (updated today)
- Inbox empty? (processed)
- Memory indexed? (recent sessions captured)
- Commitments reviewed? (nothing stale)
- Weekly review done? (this week)
Maintenance Tasks
Daily
- Process Inbox/
- Update State/Today.md
- Log to History/DailyLogs/
Weekly
- Full weekly review
- Pattern analysis
- Memory cleanup if needed
- State file refresh
Monthly
- Archive old sessions
- Review and prune commitments
- System performance check
- Backup Memory/
Troubleshooting
- Memory not finding things: Check if sessions are being indexed
- Patterns not surfacing: Need more history data
- State feels stale: Run SystemMaintenance workflow
- Inbox overflowing: Schedule processing time
