Candidates are classified using this rubric:
- Promote to
AGENTS.md: short universal rules that should affect every future session. - Add to
GLOBAL_MEMORY.md: durable preferences and cross-project workflow lessons. - Add to
ERROR_PATTERNS.md: repeated mistakes with cause, prevention, and verification. - Add to
ACTIVE_GLOBAL.md: current global workflows and active automation details. - Keep in inbox: unclear notes or notes needing more evidence.
- Archive without action: vague, duplicated, obsolete, test-only, or one-off notes.
AGENTS.md should stay concise. Most lessons belong in memory, error patterns, or the archive.
