name: glean description: Surface emergent patterns and insights from the AI-ready vault memory system. Use periodically to discover connections between memories, identify recurring themes, and generate meta-insights that aren't obvious from individual memories.

Glean

Surface emergent patterns and insights from memory.

Purpose

Individual memories capture discrete information. Gleaning reveals:

• Connections between seemingly unrelated memories
• Recurring themes or patterns
• Evolution of thinking over time
• Gaps or contradictions in stored knowledge
• Meta-insights that emerge from the collection

Workflow

1. Load memories for analysis

   • If $ARGUMENTS provided, focus on that domain
   • Otherwise, analyze across all memory types
   • Prioritize recent and high-importance memories

2. Identify patterns

   • Recurring concepts across memories
   • Related decisions or approaches
   • Evolving understanding of topics
   • Clusters of related information

3. Surface insights

   • What themes emerge?
   • What connections weren't obvious?
   • What contradictions exist?
   • What gaps should be filled?

4. Optionally store meta-memories

   • Patterns discovered can become new memories
   • Type: Usually Strategic or Procedural

Analysis Dimensions

Parameters

• $ARGUMENTS (optional): Domain or topic to focus analysis on

Default Paths

Analyzes memories at: Areas/AI/Memory/

Related Skills

• /recall {terms} - Search for specific memories
• /remember - Store patterns discovered as new memories
• /reflect - Session-end memory consolidation

Output Format

Patterns Observed:

• List of 3-5 patterns or themes

Connections Found:

• Links between memories that weren't explicitly made

Insights:

• 1-3 meta-observations about the memory collection

Recommendations:

• Suggested memories to create, update, or consolidate

Example

User: /glean ai-ready-vault

Response: "Gleaning patterns from AI Ready Vault memories...

Patterns Observed:

1. Composability is a recurring theme—skills, tiers, teaching approach all emphasize modularity
2. 'Let the work speak' appears in both personal branding and product design decisions
3. Education-first positioning across all strategic decisions

Connections Found:

• Teaching pattern (show→problem→conceptual) mirrors the product evolution (demo→pain→solution)
• Skills library concept directly enables the 'incremental adoption' goal

Insights:

• The project philosophy is internally consistent—same principles apply at multiple levels
• Strong bias toward empowering users vs. prescribing solutions

Recommendations:

• Consider creating a 'design principles' memory that captures the recurring themes
• The composability pattern could become a procedural memory for future projects"
