description	Close the loop between recommendations and real outcomes so future Codex judgment improves over time.

Outcome Memory

Use this skill after a plan, review, ship, design decision, startup memo, or ethics review has had enough time to produce a result.

This is a Praneet-specific hand-port enhancement. It makes judgment compound by recording whether prior advice worked, failed, or needs revision.

Workflow

1. Identify the prior decision or recommendation.
2. Gather outcome evidence:
   • what happened
   • what shipped
   • user or stakeholder response
   • metrics or qualitative signal
   • surprises
   • harms or exclusions discovered later
3. Compare expectation to reality:
   • right for the right reason
   • right for the wrong reason
   • wrong but useful
   • wrong and misleading
   • still unknown
4. Extract learning:
   • update future scorecards
   • revise assumptions
   • add follow-up tasks
   • capture ethics or accessibility lessons
5. Persist:
   • write a report when the outcome should be reviewable
   • use capture or brain-ops for durable memory
   • route to retro when this is team/process learning

Guardrails

• Do not force a lesson when evidence is still ambiguous.
• Do not hide negative outcomes.
• Separate personal preference drift from actual user or ethical evidence.
