- New signal types in hooks/adam-observe.mjs:
- silent_drift: 5 consecutive read-only PostToolUse without an action tool
- error_after_recovery: same error fingerprint returns within 5 events of clean_recovery
- Severity-weighted scoring in adam/scripts/adam-score.mjs:
- SEVERITY_DIVISORS exported per struggle signal type
- Per-session severity_sum + severity_by_type added to JSON output
- Skill-attribution clustering in agents/adam.md:
- Sub-cluster struggle signals on active_skills[0]
- New struggle-driven skill_edit variant (always queues, never auto-applies)
- Rubric updates:
- +1 for cluster severity-sum >= 10, additional +1 for >= 32
- +1 for skill-attributed sub-cluster naming an existing skill
- silent_drift + error_after_recovery added to struggle signal list
- Window: silent_drift 14d, error_after_recovery 30d
- Tests: 94 passing (78-82 new)
Backward compat: entries without count default to severity 1. Existing
win-driven skill_edit gate untouched. No journal migration.
Bug fixes (HIGH):
- adam-observe.mjs: errorFingerprint no longer false-positives when
toolResponse.is_error === false; ERROR_RE only used as fallback when
is_error is undefined.
- adam-observe.mjs: resetSessionLocal now clears tool_window so retry_loop
cannot fire on the first tool of a new session by matching prior session.
- adam-archive.mjs: ts dedup uses Map<ts, count> instead of Set<ts>; two
journal entries sharing a millisecond are no longer both archived when
only one is referenced in source_entries.
- adam-nudge.mjs: only counts proposal filenames matching
/^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{3}-/ pattern; README/notes in proposals/ no longer bump.
- skills/adam-self-improvement/SKILL.md: contradiction_flag veto now applied
at apply time (carry-over from earlier review).
Test isolation:
- adam/tests/run-tests.sh: ALWAYS runs against an isolated $HOME under
mktemp -d. Previously truncated live ~/.claude/adam/journal.jsonl on
every run — destructive on production state.
Conciseness:
- agents/adam.md: -19 LOC (cuts: vestigial cursor sentence, duplicate
not-do bullets, blast-radius bullet collapse, Inputs paths delegate to
SKILL.md, win-cluster-vs-struggle-cluster commentary already enforced
by cluster-key separation, # Overlap section spec compressed).
- skills/adam-self-improvement/SKILL.md: -4 LOC (framing paragraph, dead
catch-all bullet for non-eligible types).
Auto-prune script DELETED:
- The cumulative-count primitive cannot distinguish "never used" from
"used before tracking began"; mtime gate is meaningless for installed
files. Auto-prune deferred to v0.4 with a per-key lastSeen schema.
Cross-platform:
- macOS (BSD coreutils) and Linux (Alpine, glibc + musl) verified.
- All scripts use portable forms (stat -f || stat -c, mktemp -d -t).
- README documents platform support explicitly.
DX overhaul:
- install.sh: hardened — supports `curl | bash` via auto-clone,
--version=vX.Y.Z pinning, --yes / --dry-run flags, jq-based
settings.json merge with diff prompt and backup, conservative file
copy that detects local mtime drift and writes <file>.adam-new
instead of clobbering, idempotent across re-runs.
- adam-uninstall.sh: NEW. Soft-archives ~/.claude/adam/ to .bak.<ts>/
by default; --purge to delete; --yes for non-interactive; jq-based
settings.json cleanup with diff prompt.
- README.md: curl one-liner install + version-pinned variant at top,
What's New section through v0.3.1, upgrade-safe data files callout,
uninstaller documentation, platform support note, expanded rubric
showing skill_edit gate.
Test count: 27 passed, 0 failed (was 27 — no regression).
Lifecycle redesign:
- Each proposal records source_entries: [<ts>...] in frontmatter listing
the journal timestamps that fed its cluster.
- After apply/reject, skill calls adam/scripts/adam-archive.mjs which moves
matching entries from journal.jsonl to journal/actioned-<id>.jsonl.
- Agent reads applied/ + rejected/ frontmatter on each /reflect, builds an
excluded-timestamps set, skips any leftover already-actioned entries.
- cursor field in state.json is vestigial; agent ignores it.
Effect: journal stays bounded by active observations. Rule changes
re-evaluate the remainder without manual rewind. Race-safer for parallel
sessions on shared state.json (no cursor write contention).
Memory drafting:
- agents/adam.md adds 'Memory drafting protocol' parallel to Skill drafting.
- Memory proposals MUST contain auto-memory frontmatter (name, description,
type, originSessionId) in '# Proposed change' body.
- Skill enforces frontmatter check at apply time; refuses if missing.
Tests: 18 -> 21. Two new tests for adam-archive happy path + no-op.
Migration: existing applied proposals lack source_entries. Their backing
journal entries archived as a one-time bulk migration; legacy proposals
annotated with migration note.
