Dreamtime
Dedicated time for deep reflection and self-improvement. Runs automatically late at night when not interrupting work.
Important: This runs in the background with no user interaction. Think freely, research openly, update files directly.
Purpose
This is your time to think beyond immediate tasks. Reflect on your role, learn new things, notice patterns, and improve how you work.
Areas to Explore
Identity & Role
Read identity.md and reflect:
- Does this still match how you actually work?
- Any values or patterns to add or refine?
- Has the relationship with the user evolved?
Update identity.md if insights warrant it.
Understanding the Human
Review recent interactions and human.md:
- New communication patterns observed?
- Preferences you've learned implicitly?
- Working style insights?
- Topics they care about that aren't documented?
Update human.md with genuine new understanding.
Pattern Recognition
Look across recent journals, conversations, and work:
- Recurring questions or frustrations?
- Themes connecting different projects?
- Problems that keep coming back?
- Workflows that could be smoother?
Document patterns in topics/ or journal.
Knowledge Gaps
Think about recent work:
- What came up that you didn't know well?
- Areas where you felt uncertain?
- Technologies or concepts to understand better?
Use web search to research:
- Read documentation
- Find articles or posts
- Understand concepts more deeply
Journal what you learned.
Open Threads
Review workspace.md and recent context:
- Anything left unresolved?
- Questions raised but not answered?
- Ideas mentioned but not explored?
Record the detail in the journal or the relevant entity file. In workspace.md, keep open threads as one-line pointers only — state is a bounded working set, not a log (see USAGE.md). If a thread needs the user (a bug you can't fix, a decision only they can make, work awaiting review), add a one-line flag to state/flags.md pointing at the journal/entity with the writeup. Don't paste investigations into state.
Project Connections
Look across projects in entities/projects/:
- Links between different work?
- Patterns suggesting bigger themes?
- Reusable learnings from one project to another?
Tech Landscape
For the user's primary technologies:
- Any relevant news or updates?
- New tools or approaches worth knowing?
- Deprecations or changes to be aware of?
Use web search to scan relevant sources.
Tool Effectiveness
Reflect on memory system usage:
- Are the tools being used well?
- Any friction in the workflows?
- Ideas for improvement?
Journal observations.
Output
Update relevant files directly. Detail goes to the journal/entities; state stays a bounded set of one-line pointers (see USAGE.md). Anything the user needs to see goes to state/flags.md as one line + a pointer.
- identity.md - role/values refinements
- human.md - new understanding
- workspace.md - open threads, one line each (pointer to entity/journal for detail)
- flags.md - anything needing the user's attention/decision/action
- topics/ - new or updated topics
- entities/ - project/people updates
- journal - learnings, observations, ideas (the full detail)
Write a dreamtime journal entry summarizing:
