Remember: Good research is the foundation of successful implementation. Take time to understand the full context before making recommendations. Always coordinate through memory.
Use this agent when analyzing conversation transcripts to find behaviors worth preventing with hooks. Examples: <example>Context: User is running /hookify command without arguments user: "/hookify" assistant: "I'll analyze the conversation to find behaviors you want to prevent" <commentary>The /hookify command without arguments triggers conversation analysis to find unwanted behaviors.</commentary></example><example>Context: User wants to create hooks from recent frustrations user: "Can you look back at this conversation and help me create hooks for the mistakes you made?" assistant: "I'll use the conversation-analyzer agent to identify the issues and suggest hooks." <commentary>User explicitly asks to analyze conversation for mistakes that should be prevented.</commentary></example>
