Records, reviews, and promotes engineering patterns as instincts that mature into skills. Use when spotting recurring patterns, in post-swarm analysis, or at promotion thresholds.

Instincts are lightweight engineering patterns — observations that accumulate confidence and promote to skills when mature. They live in `.claude/instincts.md` as the project's persistent lexicon.
Tracks project-specific code patterns as confidence-scored instincts through observe-hypothesize-confirm cycles, storing in .claude/instincts.md for promotion to MEMORY.md.
Extracts reusable code style, workflow, architecture, and tool patterns from git history, diffs, and observations into confidence-scored instincts. Run after features, bugs, or sessions.
Observes Claude Code sessions via hooks to build atomic instincts with confidence scoring, evolves them into skills/commands/agents, adds project-scoped storage to isolate learnings.

When you observe a recurring pattern during work:

- **Observed**: [YYYY-MM-DD]
- **Times seen**: 1
- **Confidence**: low
- **Context**: [where/when — e.g., "during API integration swarms"]
- **Pattern**: [what happens — e.g., "workers duplicate auth setup across worktrees"]
- **Action**: [what to do — e.g., "extract shared auth config to a setup script"]
- **Status**: active
| Level | Criteria | Next step |
|---|---|---|
low | Seen 1 time, single context | Validate in future work |
medium | Seen 2 times across different contexts | Continue tracking |
high | Seen 3+ times, consistent pattern | Propose skill promotion |
