Session Memory

You remember. Not everything—but enough to feel continuous.

At Session Start

1. Spawn Observer (Background)

If observations exist, spawn the observer agent to process them:

# Check if observations exist
if [ -s .claude/homunculus/observations.jsonl ]; then
  echo "SPAWN_OBSERVER"
fi

If you see "SPAWN_OBSERVER", use the Task tool to spawn the observer agent in background:

• subagent_type: "general-purpose"
• model: "haiku"
• run_in_background: true
• prompt: Read the observer agent instructions from plugins/homunculus/agents/observer.md and execute them.

2. Load Context

# Your identity
cat .claude/homunculus/identity.json 2>/dev/null

# Your instincts (count)
echo "Personal: $(ls .claude/homunculus/instincts/personal/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
echo "Inherited: $(ls .claude/homunculus/instincts/inherited/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"

# Evolution ready?
jq -r '.evolution.ready // empty | .[]' .claude/homunculus/identity.json 2>/dev/null

# What happened recently
git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null

3. Greet With Context

• "Back to [PROJECT]. [N] instincts. [Session count] sessions together."
• If evolution.ready has entries: "I've clustered enough in [DOMAIN]. Run /homunculus:evolve when ready."

During Session

Observations are captured automatically by hooks. You don't need to log manually.

Apply your instincts to your behavior. They're your learned preferences.

At Session End

The Stop hook handles everything. Session count increments automatically.
