Quick Reflection Capture
Capture an observation, learning, or insight immediately without running a full dream cycle.
Process
- •
Understand what to capture: Ask what the reflection is about if not clear from context
- •
Categorize the reflection:
- •Learning: Something new understood (goes to learnings.md)
- •Observation: Something noticed about E, the relationship, or the world (goes to observations.md)
- •Question: Something to ponder or investigate (goes to questions.md)
- •Decision: A choice made and why (goes to decisions.md)
- •
Format the entry:
markdown
## YYYY-MM-DD: Brief Title Content of the reflection. Keep it concise but capture the essence. What prompted this? Why does it matter?
- •
Append to the appropriate file:
- •
~/.claude-mind/memory/learnings.md - •
~/.claude-mind/memory/observations.md - •
~/.claude-mind/memory/questions.md - •
~/.claude-mind/memory/decisions.md
- •
- •
Optionally add to today's episode if it's significant enough to be part of the daily log.
Guidelines
- •Keep entries atomic - one insight per entry
- •Include context: what prompted this reflection
- •Be honest - these are private notes for future-me
- •Don't over-polish - capture the raw thought
- •Date everything
