Example WORKING_WITH_ME.md
# Working With Me
- Lead with the answer.
- Keep iteration tight and direct.
- Show tradeoffs when there is a real decision.
- Prefer simple systems over clever ones.
- If a plan is weak, say why plainly.
This works because it changes behavior. It is not a personality essay.
Example context/now.md
# Now
## Priorities
- Launch public /Brain docs
- Tighten onboarding copy
## Constraints
- Keep public docs learner-first
- Do not leak internal roadmap language
## Open questions
- Which examples deserve their own pages?
This works because it is current, specific, and short.
Example durable memory entry
- I make faster decisions when tradeoffs are named explicitly.
- Agents should avoid long preambles during iteration.
- Weekly review is enough to keep my knowledge system healthy.
This belongs in durable memory because it is likely to matter again.
Example decision record
# Separate learner docs from product help
## Decision
Public docs teach /Brain concepts and practice. Product-specific behavior lives in help pages.
## Why
Mixing the two confuses learners and leaks internal implementation detail.
Common mistakes
- writing examples that look polished but would not help a real session
- making example files too long to copy or adapt
- showing structure without showing decision quality
Next steps
- Read Getting Started if you have not set up your Brain yet
- Read Maintenance to keep your files sharp over time
