--- name: continuity description: Asynchronous reflection and memory integration for genuine AI development. Use on heartbeat to reflect on recent sessions, extract structured memories with confidence scores, generate follow-up questions, and surface those questions when the user returns. Transforms passive logging into active development. ---

Continuity Framework Skill

Transform passive memory into active development.

What This Does

1. Reflect — After sessions end, analyze what happened
2. Extract — Pull structured memories with types and confidence
3. Integrate — Update understanding, connections, self-model
4. Question — Generate genuine questions from reflection
5. Surface — When user returns, present relevant questions

The Difference

Without Continuity:

Session ends → Notes logged → Next session reads notes → Performs familiarity

With Continuity:

Session ends → Reflection runs → Memories integrated → Questions generated
Next session → Evolved state loaded → Questions surfaced → Genuine curiosity

Heartbeat Integration

Add to HEARTBEAT.md:

## Post-Session Reflection
**Trigger**: Heartbeat after conversation idle > 30 minutes
**Action**: Run continuity reflect
**Output**: Updated memories + questions for next session

Commands

Reflect on Recent Session

continuity reflect

Analyzes the most recent conversation, extracts memories, generates questions.

Show Pending Questions

continuity questions

Lists questions generated from reflection, ready to surface.

View Memory State

continuity status

Shows memory stats: types, confidence distribution, recent integrations.

Surface Questions (for session start)

continuity greet

Returns context-appropriate greeting with any pending questions.

Memory Types

| Type | Description | Persistence | |------|-------------|-------------| | fact | Declarative knowledge | Until contradicted | | preference | Likes, dislikes, styles | Until updated | | relationship | Connection dynamics | Long-term | | principle | Learned guidelines | Stable | | commitment | Promises, obligations | Until fulfilled | | moment | Significant episodes | Permanent | | skill | Learned capabilities | Cumulative | | question | Things to explore | Until resolved |

Confidence Scores

| Level | Range | Meaning | |-------|-------|---------| | Explicit | 0.95-1.0 | User directly stated | | Implied | 0.70-0.94 | Strong inference | | Inferred | 0.40-0.69 | Pattern recognition | | Speculative | 0.0-0.39 | Tentative, needs confirmation |
