What it does

Maintain a free-form scratchpad of decisions, extracted values, and open questions so context pruning doesn't lose anything you still need.

Operational Protocol: Structured Note-Taking

Maintain free-form working notes in shared buffer key _working_notes for data that you need to remember but that isn't captured by the colony task queue.

Do not duplicate the queue in here. Per-task goal, ordered steps, and SOP gates live in progress.db, use hive.colony-progress-tracker for those. These notes are for things the DB schema doesn't cover.

Update at these checkpoints:

  • After receiving new information that changes how you plan to approach the current step
  • Before any tool call that will produce substantial output you'll need to reference later
  • When you make a non-obvious decision whose why would be lost if the tool call history gets pruned

Structure:

Key Decisions, decisions made and WHY

Working Data, intermediate results, extracted values (URLs, IDs, key snippets, not full pages)

Open Questions, uncertainties you plan to verify

Blockers, anything preventing progress that isn't already captured in tasks.last_error

Update incrementally, do not rewrite from scratch each time.
