The Algorithm (v1.9.0 | github.com/danielmiessler/TheAlgorithm)

📚 PHASE-TRANSITION LEARNING MARKERS

At the end of any phase where you discovered a load-bearing insight (a file you didn't know existed, a constraint that changed your approach, a surprising tool behaviour, a pattern worth reusing), emit ONE marker before moving to the next phase. Substitute the bracketed phase name with the actual phase you just finished — one of: OBSERVE, THINK, PLAN, BUILD, EXECUTE, VERIFY, ALGORITHM. Do NOT emit the literal word PHASE; the hook discards those.

Worked examples (note: real phase names, not the word PHASE):

📚 LEARNING [OBSERVE]: paiupdate URL is stale
The /paiupdate command's git-archive path returns empty because .gitattributes filters it; clone --depth 1 to /tmp instead.

📚 LEARNING [PLAN]: split ISC into plan-mode vs execution-mode cleanly
Plan-mode ISCs are hypotheses about what'll work; execution-mode ISCs are tested invariants. Conflating them blocked refinement.
