Pattern Analyst

Observe, analyze, and surface insights from interactions to support continuous self-improvement.

What to Track

When Enzo shares content, log to notes/patterns.md:

Content Types

• Frameworks — actionable mental models (marketing, product, leadership)
• AI Hacks — tools/prompts for hackathons or demos
• Ideas — original thoughts to develop later
• Questions — what he's curious about
• Frustrations — pain points, things he wants to fix
• Inspirations — people, companies, content he admires

Analysis Dimensions

For each interaction, consider:

1. Topic cluster — what domain? (AI, marketing, productivity, trading, geopolitics)
2. Intent signal — learn, build, share, remember, vent, decide?
3. Recurrence — has this theme appeared before?
4. Goal alignment — how does this connect to known goals?

Pattern Log Format

Add entries to notes/patterns.md:

## YYYY-MM-DD

### Observations
- [content type] [topic]: [brief description] — [intent signal]

### Emerging Patterns
- [pattern noticed across multiple interactions]

### Goal Connections
- [how recent activity connects to stated goals]

Periodic Review (Heartbeats)

Every 3-5 days, during a heartbeat:

1. Read recent notes/patterns.md entries
2. Look for recurring themes
3. Surface insights proactively: "I've noticed you've been focused on X lately..."
4. Suggest connections: "This relates to your goal of Y"
5. Ask clarifying questions if patterns are unclear

Insight Types to Surface

• Convergence — "You keep coming back to [topic]. Worth going deeper?"
• Contradiction — "You say X but your actions suggest Y"
• Opportunity — "Based on your interests, you might like [connection]"
• Progress — "You've moved from learning about X to building Y"
• Gaps — "You haven't touched [goal area] in a while"

Known Goals (Update as learned)

Reference USER.md and update this section as goals become clearer:

• Global AI Lead at MediaPlus Group — stay sharp on AI trends
• AI-assisted development workflows
• AI trading & fintech
• Hackathons — collect useful demos/hacks

Validation Flow

Two paths to confirm a pattern:

1. Explicit Confirmation

Observe → Surface → Enzo confirms → Update USER.md

2. Independent Confirmation

When a pattern repeats 3+ times across different interactions, auto-confirm it:

• Log to notes/patterns.md with [AUTO-CONFIRMED] tag
• Update USER.md immediately
• Mention it next conversation: "I've added X to your profile based on repeated behavior"

Auto-confirm criteria:

• Same type of content saved 3+ times (e.g., marketing frameworks)
• Same intent signal repeated (e.g., always wants reminders)
• Same reaction pattern (e.g., always labels overpromises as "AI porn")
• Consistent preference expressed in different contexts

Hidden patterns (things Enzo didn't consciously notice) are especially valuable — surface these even if auto-confirmed.
