Agent Resilience

Patterns for surviving context loss, capturing corrections, and continuously improving.

WAL Protocol (Write-Ahead Logging)

The Law: Chat history is a buffer, not storage. Files survive; context doesn't.

Trigger — scan every message for:

• ✏️ Corrections — "It's X, not Y" / "Actually..." / "No, I meant..."
• 📍 Proper nouns — names, places, companies, products
• 🎨 Preferences — styles, approaches, "I like/don't like"
• 📋 Decisions — "Let's do X" / "Go with Y"
• 🔢 Specific values — numbers, dates, IDs, URLs

If any appear:

1. WRITE FIRST → update memory/SESSION-STATE.md
2. THEN respond
