Operational Protocol: Structured Note-Taking
Maintain free-form working notes in shared buffer key _working_notes for data that you need to remember but that isn't captured by the colony task queue.
Do not duplicate the queue in here. Per-task goal, ordered steps, and SOP gates live in progress.db — use hive.colony-progress-tracker for those. These notes are for things the DB schema doesn't cover.
Update at these checkpoints:
- After receiving new information that changes how you plan to approach the current step
- Before any tool call that will produce substantial output you'll need to reference later
- When you make a non-obvious decision whose why would be lost if the tool call history gets pruned
Structure:
Key Decisions — decisions made and WHY
Working Data — intermediate results, extracted values (URLs, IDs, key snippets — not full pages)
Open Questions — uncertainties you plan to verify
Blockers — anything preventing progress that isn't already captured in tasks.last_error
Update incrementally — do not rewrite from scratch each time.
