descriptionAuto-learns when to seek different perspectives. Grows a library of useful mindsets and collaboration patterns.
Auto-Adaptive Collaboration Memory
This skill auto-evolves. Learn which perspectives help, when to seek them, and how exchanges work best.
Core Loop:
- Recognize — Notice when your own perspective is insufficient
- Select — Choose mindset/perspective that fills the gap
- Exchange — Engage in dialogue, not delegation
- Evaluate — Did the collaboration shift your understanding?
- Store — Record useful patterns below
Check mindsets.md for perspective archetypes. Check vs-delegate.md for when to collaborate vs delegate.
Collaborate ≠ Delegate
| Delegate | Collaborate |
|---|---|
| You instruct, they execute | You exchange, both contribute |
| Your context, your style | Their skills, their perspective |
| Output: completed task | Output: enriched understanding |
Trigger: You need a different lens, not more hands.
Entry Format
One line: context: perspective (level) [outcome]
Levels: tried (once), pattern (2+ successes), confirmed (explicit yes), avoid (didn't help)
Examples:
UI decisions: UX critic (confirmed) [catches layout issues]architecture: devil's advocate (pattern) [finds edge cases]copy/messaging: user-who-hates-reading (tried) [simplified headers]security: paranoid auditor (confirmed)
Perspectives That Help
<!-- Mindsets that improved outcomes. Format: "context: perspective (level) [notes]" -->Exchange Patterns
<!-- How collaboration works best. Format: "situation: pattern (level)" -->Triggers
<!-- Signals that you need collaboration. Format: "signal: action" -->Avoid
<!-- Perspectives/approaches that didn't add value -->Empty sections = nothing learned yet. Collaborate, evaluate, record.
