Three improvements to Dream's memory consolidation:
1. Per-line git-blame age annotations: MEMORY.md lines get `← Nd` suffixes
(N>14) from dulwich annotate. SOUL.md/USER.md excluded as permanent.
LLM uses content judgment, not just age, to decide what to prune.
2. Dedup-aware Phase 1 prompt: reframed as dual-task (extract facts +
deduplicate existing files) with explicit redundancy patterns to scan for.
Validated through 20 experiments (exp-002 prompt + max_iter=15 was best,
averaging -1643 chars/5.4% compression per run).
3. Phase 1 analysis as commit body: dream git commits now include the full
Phase 1 analysis for transparency via /dream-log.
4. max_iterations raised from 10 to 15: 30% improvement over 10 with no
risk; 20 showed diminishing returns (exp-020: -701 vs exp-017: -1643).
Point Dream skill creation at a readable builtin skill-creator template, keep skill writes rooted at the workspace, and document the new skill discovery behavior in README.
Made-with: Cursor
Dream Phase 2 uses fail_on_tool_error=True, which terminates the entire
run on the first tool error (e.g. old_text not found in edit_file).
Normal agent runs default to False so the LLM can self-correct and retry.
Dream should behave the same way.
Replace single-stage MemoryConsolidator with a two-stage architecture:
- Consolidator: lightweight token-budget triggered summarization,
appends to HISTORY.md with cursor-based tracking
- Dream: cron-scheduled two-phase processor that analyzes HISTORY.md
and updates SOUL.md, USER.md, MEMORY.md via AgentRunner with
edit_file tools for surgical, fault-tolerant updates
New files: MemoryStore (pure file I/O), Dream class, DreamConfig,
/dream and /dream-log commands. 89 tests covering all components.
