Warren's Memory Lifecycle

Six autonomous systems running every night on DGX Spark. Three data sources (Slack, GitHub, Google Drive), 159 stakeholders tracked, daily self-improvement loop, cross-source correlation analysis, and full experiment tracking via MLflow.

Before: knowledge that drifts and decays

Every day, Warren logs directives from Tony, decisions with clients, dashboard rules from Joana, infrastructure changes, strategy shifts. Each day gets its own work journal. In a month, that's 50+ journals โ€” thousands of lines where standing rules are buried alongside debug logs and one-time fixes.

โŒ Before (through May 11)
  • 6,674 lines of raw journals โ€” noise competing with signal
  • 776 search chunks โ€” duplicates and debug logs diluting results
  • Yesterday's journal loaded raw: 245 lines of play-by-play into context
  • MEMORY.md stale since April 11 โ€” 31 days of knowledge not consolidated
  • Directives from Tony forgotten between sessions โ€” "noted" โ‰  remembered
  • Search accuracy: score 0.477 โ€” nearly half the time, wrong chunk surfaces first
  • 1 data source (Slack only) โ€” meetings, docs, and Drive content invisible
โœ… After (May 19)
  • 1,777 lines of compressed journals โ€” 73% reduction, pure signal
  • 493 search chunks โ€” 36% fewer, each denser in keywords
  • Yesterday's journal compressed: 57 lines of distilled checkpoint
  • MEMORY.md current โ€” standing rules consolidated and promoted
  • Every directive persisted and consolidated โ€” "noted" = written to disk
  • Search accuracy: score 0.710 โ€” 49% improvement on same queries
  • 3 data sources (Slack + GitHub + Google Drive) โ€” 62 files ingested, full coverage
  • 159 stakeholders auto-extracted and tracked across meetings

Six systems, running nightly

Each solves a different part of the knowledge lifecycle. Six cron jobs running between 02:00โ€“05:00 PT every night on DGX Spark. None alter canonical memory without human approval.

๐Ÿ“ฅ

1. Drive Intake New

Google Drive sync via Service Account. Extracts content from all shared folders, distills via GLM 5.1, validates via quality gate, routes to memory layers.

๐Ÿ“‹

2. Memory Consolidation

Reads daily journals, classifies each entry as durable or transient, proposes updates to MEMORY.md. Human reviews and approves.

๐Ÿ”

3. Shadow Review Daily

Self-improvement loop โ€” now daily. Reviews Warren's outputs against 6 rubric domains, identifies failures, generates fixes, verifies next cycle.

๐Ÿ”—

4. Correlation Engine New

Cross-source pattern analysis. Detects recurring topics, unacted action items, intakeโ†’output correlations across Slack, GitHub, and Drive.

๐Ÿ’ญ

5. Dreaming

Scans what Warren repeatedly searched for across sessions. Surfaces patterns nobody explicitly wrote down. Writes to its own diary.

๐Ÿ“Š

6. Dashboard Export New

Exports metrics and deploys this page. MLflow experiment tracking with @mlflow.trace instrumentation on all eval scripts.

Google Drive โ†’ distilled knowledge

Google Drive connected via Service Account with domain-wide delegation. Daily cron syncs all shared folders, extracts content, distills, validates, and routes to memory layers. First run ingested 62 files.

โฐ Cron fires at 02:00 PT

Service Account enumerates all shared Google Drive folders. Identifies new or modified files since last sync.

Automatic

๐Ÿ“„ Extract content

Downloads and extracts text from Docs, Sheets, Slides, PDFs, and other supported formats. Preserves structure and metadata.

Automatic

๐Ÿง  Distill via GLM 5.1

Each document distilled into a dense summary. Key facts, decisions, action items, and stakeholders extracted. Full document preserved as source.

Automatic

โœ… Intake Quality Gate

Cross-model validation on every distilled document. Checks: fact accuracy, no fabrication, correct classification, attribution, numbers/dates exact. Single fabricated fact = FAIL.

6th rubric domain

๐Ÿ“‚ Route to memory layers

Digests route to Layer 3 (searchable). Stakeholders extracted to memory/stakeholders/. Key facts proposed for promotion to Layer 1.

Distillation model

159 people, tracked automatically

Every meeting transcript and Drive document produces stakeholder topic files. Names, roles, topics discussed, and last-seen dates โ€” all structured in memory/stakeholders/. Feeds the synthetic persona pipeline for meeting prep and relationship intelligence.

๐Ÿ‘ค

Per-stakeholder profiles

Each person gets a structured file with their name, role, organization, topics discussed, key positions, and interaction history. Updated on every new meeting or document.

๐Ÿงฉ

Cross-referenced topics

Stakeholders linked to topics, meetings, and documents. Ask "who has discussed pricing?" and get structured answers from 159 profiles.

๐ŸŽญ

Synthetic persona pipeline

Stakeholder profiles feed meeting prep โ€” anticipated positions, relationship context, and topic history. Know who you're meeting before you walk in.

Nightly Consolidation

Reads what was written. Proposes what to keep. Never decides alone.

โฐ Cron fires at 03:00 PT

Spawns an isolated session. Reads every daily journal since last distillation.

Automatic

๐Ÿ“– Classify every entry

Automatic

โœ๏ธ Write MEMORY.md.proposed

Creates proposed file + safety archive. Validates line count, pointers, idempotency. Does not touch MEMORY.md.

Automatic

๐Ÿ”’ Human Review Gate

Operator reviews line by line. Nothing promoted until explicit "approved."

Human approval required

๐Ÿ—œ๏ธ Compress yesterday's journal

Raw journal โ†’ dense checkpoint in-place. Original in git. Search index re-processes automatically.

Automatic

Dreaming

Reads what was repeatedly searched for. Surfaces patterns nobody explicitly wrote down.

โฐ Gateway cron at 03:00 PT

Memory plugin scans the recall store โ€” every search query and fact retrieval from the past 30 days.

Automatic

๐ŸŽ›๏ธ Significance filter

Must pass all gates: accessed โ‰ฅ3 times, relevance โ‰ฅ0.8, โ‰ฅ3 unique queries. Recent facts weighted higher (14-day half-life).

Conservative defaults

๐Ÿ““ Write to dream diary

Patterns go to memory/.dreams/. Does not alter MEMORY.md or daily files. Read-only output for operator review.

Read-only output

Shadow Review โ€” now daily

Was Saturday-only. Now runs every day at 03:30 PT. Warren reviews its own outputs against 6 rubric domains, identifies failures, generates fix recommendations, implements them, and verifies on the next cycle. Closed-loop self-improvement.

๐Ÿ“ก Output Collector captures everything

Hook on all outbound Warren messages. Every response classified by domain and auto-queued for shadow review. No manual curation needed.

New โ€” output collector

โฐ Shadow Review at 03:30 PT

Evaluates queued outputs against 6 rubric domains: accuracy, completeness, tone, format, actionability, and intake quality (new 6th domain for Drive documents).

Automatic

๐Ÿ”ง Fix recommendations generated

Each failure produces a specific fix recommendation. Warren implements the fix โ€” prompt adjustments, SOP updates, routing changes.

Automatic

โœ… Next cycle verifies the fix

The following day's shadow review checks whether the fix worked. Failures that persist get escalated. 3 pending failures currently being tracked.

Cross-source pattern analysis

Connects dots across Slack, GitHub, and Google Drive. Detects recurring topics that span sources, unacted action items, and intakeโ†’output correlations. Two modes: daily lightweight scan and weekly full LLM analysis.

๐Ÿ”„

Daily lightweight scan (04:00 PT)

Pattern matching across today's intake. Topic frequency, cross-reference detection, action item tracking. Fast, low-cost, runs every night.

๐Ÿง 

Weekly full analysis (Sat 04:30 PT)

Full LLM analysis of the week's correlated patterns. Deeper insight extraction, trend detection, and strategic recommendations. Runs Saturday nights.

โšก

What it detects

Recurring topics across sources, unacted action items aging out, meetingโ†’documentโ†’Slack threads that reference the same decisions, and gaps where decisions were made but never documented.

Three layers of memory

Each layer has different reliability. The lifecycle moves important facts up the stack. Now fed by three data sources.

๐ŸŸข

Layer 1 โ€” Always loaded (100%)

MEMORY.md: standing rules, client registry, infrastructure facts, strategy. Loaded in every session, no search needed. This is the target.

๐ŸŸฃ

Layer 2 โ€” Loaded by trigger

Topic files, stakeholder profiles (159 people in memory/stakeholders/), methodology docs, pipeline knowledge. Load when context triggers. Now includes auto-extracted stakeholder intelligence.

๐ŸŸก

Layer 3 โ€” Search-dependent

Compressed daily journals + Drive intake digests. 493 dense chunks from Slack/GitHub, plus 62 distilled Drive documents. Searched via embeddings + keywords. Better, but still probabilistic.

The consolidation moves facts up: Layer 3 โ†’ Layer 1. Important knowledge stops depending on search accuracy and becomes permanent context.

Drive intake feeds all layers: Documents distilled and routed โ€” key facts proposed for Layer 1, stakeholders to Layer 2, digests searchable in Layer 3.

The correlation engine connects across layers: Patterns that span Slack threads, GitHub issues, and Drive documents surface as unified insights.

The self-improvement loop validates output quality: Shadow review ensures what comes out of memory is accurate, complete, and properly attributed.

Nightly cron schedule & experiment tracking

Six systems orchestrated across a 3-hour window every night. All instrumented with MLflow for experiment tracking, prompt versioning, and cost monitoring.

MLflow 3.12.0 on DGX

MLflow tracking server running locally. All eval scripts instrumented with @mlflow.trace. Experiment tracking, prompt registry with 6 rubrics versioned, and cost tracking per run.

๐Ÿ”ฌ

Prompt Registry

6 rubric domains versioned in MLflow: accuracy, completeness, tone, format, actionability, and intake quality. Every prompt change tracked with metrics.

Cost impact โ€” $15/month for six systems

Three times the systems, three times the data sources, but still under $15/month. The bulk of the cost is Drive intake distillation and daily shadow review LLM calls.

ComponentFrequencyMonthly Cost
Drive Intake + DistillationDaily, 02:00 PT~$5.00/mo
Journal CompressionDaily, 03:00 PT~$4.50/mo
Shadow Review (daily)Daily, 03:30 PT~$3.00/mo
Correlation EngineDaily + weekly~$1.50/mo

Dashboard + MLflowDaily, 05:00 PT$0 (local + free tier)
Embedding (3-large)Continuous~$0.26/mo
Totalโ€”~$15/month
โš ๏ธ Trade-offs accepted
  • Original journal detail lost from search index โ€” compressed version is denser but loses nuance. Git preserves originals.
  • Drive distillation depends on GLM 5.1 quality โ€” mitigated by intake quality gate (single fabrication = FAIL).
  • Stakeholder extraction is probabilistic โ€” names/roles from transcripts may have errors. Correctable on review.
  • $15/mo vs $5/mo before โ€” 3x cost for 6x the systems and 3x the data sources.
โœ… What we gain
  • 3 data sources โ€” Slack + GitHub + Google Drive, full operational coverage
  • 159 stakeholders tracked โ€” relationship intelligence on every contact
  • Daily self-improvement โ€” Warren fixes its own failures automatically
  • Cross-source correlation โ€” dots connected across channels, repos, and docs
  • Full experiment tracking โ€” MLflow traces every eval, cost, and prompt version
  • Intake quality gate โ€” no fabricated facts enter the memory system

Glossary

Durable
A fact true across sessions โ€” standing rules, team info, architectural decisions. Lives in MEMORY.md (Layer 1).
Transient
Session-specific, resolved, or superseded. Debug logs, one-time fixes. Gets archived, not promoted.
Topic
Durable but too detailed for MEMORY.md. Lives in a specialized file loaded on-demand (Layer 2).
Supersedes
A new fact that contradicts or updates an existing entry. Old entry replaced, not duplicated.
Recall
A record of what Warren searched for during sessions. Logged with timestamp, score, and source.
Dream
A pattern surfaced from recall โ€” something repeatedly accessed but not written down yet.
Intake
A document ingested from Google Drive โ€” extracted, distilled, validated by quality gate, and routed to memory layers.
Stakeholder
A person auto-extracted from meetings and documents. Tracked in memory/stakeholders/ with topics, roles, and interaction history.
Correlation
A cross-source pattern detected by the correlation engine โ€” recurring topics, unacted items, or connected references across Slack, GitHub, and Drive.
