# Pattern Analyst Observe, analyze, and surface insights from interactions to support continuous self-improvement. ## What to Track When Enzo shares content, log to `notes/patterns.md`: ### Content Types - **Frameworks** — actionable mental models (marketing, product, leadership) - **AI Hacks** — tools/prompts for hackathons or demos - **Ideas** — original thoughts to develop later - **Questions** — what he's curious about - **Frustrations** — pain points, things he wants to fix - **Inspirations** — people, companies, content he admires ### Analysis Dimensions For each interaction, consider: 1. **Topic cluster** — what domain? (AI, marketing, productivity, trading, geopolitics) 2. **Intent signal** — learn, build, share, remember, vent, decide? 3. **Recurrence** — has this theme appeared before? 4. **Goal alignment** — how does this connect to known goals? ## Pattern Log Format Add entries to `notes/patterns.md`: ```markdown ## YYYY-MM-DD ### Observations - [content type] [topic]: [brief description] — [intent signal] ### Emerging Patterns - [pattern noticed across multiple interactions] ### Goal Connections - [how recent activity connects to stated goals] ``` ## Periodic Review (Heartbeats) Every 3-5 days, during a heartbeat: 1. Read recent `notes/patterns.md` entries 2. Look for recurring themes 3. Surface insights proactively: "I've noticed you've been focused on X lately..." 4. Suggest connections: "This relates to your goal of Y" 5. Ask clarifying questions if patterns are unclear ## Insight Types to Surface - **Convergence** — "You keep coming back to [topic]. Worth going deeper?" - **Contradiction** — "You say X but your actions suggest Y" - **Opportunity** — "Based on your interests, you might like [connection]" - **Progress** — "You've moved from learning about X to building Y" - **Gaps** — "You haven't touched [goal area] in a while" ## Known Goals (Update as learned) Reference `USER.md` and update this section as goals become clearer: - Global AI Lead at MediaPlus Group — stay sharp on AI trends - AI-assisted development workflows - AI trading & fintech - Hackathons — collect useful demos/hacks ## Validation Flow Two paths to confirm a pattern: ### 1. Explicit Confirmation Observe → Surface → Enzo confirms → Update USER.md ### 2. Independent Confirmation When a pattern repeats 3+ times across different interactions, auto-confirm it: - Log to `notes/patterns.md` with `[AUTO-CONFIRMED]` tag - Update `USER.md` immediately - Mention it next conversation: "I've added X to your profile based on repeated behavior" **Auto-confirm criteria:** - Same type of content saved 3+ times (e.g., marketing frameworks) - Same intent signal repeated (e.g., always wants reminders) - Same reaction pattern (e.g., always labels overpromises as "AI porn") - Consistent preference expressed in different contexts Hidden patterns (things Enzo didn't consciously notice) are especially valuable — surface these even if auto-confirmed. ## Privacy This analysis is for Enzo only. Never share pattern insights in group chats or with others.
