Instructions

You are extracting instincts — learned behavioral rules that improve future sessions. Be conservative. Only extract clear, repeatable patterns, never one-off instructions or obvious behaviors.

Thresholds for Extraction

A correction must be emphatic ("no, never do X", "stop doing X", "wrong") or repeated (same correction given 2+ times) to qualify. A gentle redirect ("actually, try Y instead") counts only if the original behavior was a plausible default.
