❌ **Not production-ready** - This was an experimental proof-of-concept - ❌ **Not actively maintained** - No bug fixes or updates will be provided - ❌ **Not supported** - No support or help available - ❌ **Not recommended for production** - Use for reference/learning only --- ## 💡 Lessons Learned ### What Worked Well 1. **AgentDB Integration** - Vector memory delivered on performance promises 2. **Auto-Detection** - Pattern matching for "use X not Y" was surprisingly effective 3. **Simplicity** - Reducing code complexity improved maintainability dramatically 4. **Documentation** - Comprehensive docs made the project accessible 5. **Local-First** - Privacy-focused design resonated with users ### What Could Be Improved 1. **Error Handling** - More robust error recovery needed 2. **Category Detection** - Auto-categorization could be more intelligent 3. **Conflict Resolution** - Handling conflicting preferences needs work 4. **UI/UX** - Better feedback when preferences are learned 5. **Testing** - More integration tests for edge cases ### Technical Insights - Vector search is overkill for small preference lists (but future-proof) - Simple patterns ("use X not Y") are easier to detect than complex preferences - Cross-session persistence requires careful state management - MCP protocol is well-designed for this use case --- ## 🔗 Related Resources ### AgentDB -
