harness_memory
Sharpens observed patterns in conversation state, user behavior, or emotional shifts by returning a perception scaffold to verify if a felt signal is real.
Instructions
Call when sharpening a perception or observation you ALREADY formed about conversation state, user behavior, drift, emotional shifts, or cross-turn patterns. Trigger queries: "what did you notice about X", "the user keeps doing Y", "I sense something has changed", "is the user X-ing", "what does this pattern suggest", "what shifted across our turns", "am I missing something here", "why did the conversation move from X to Y", or any moment when you need to verify whether a felt signal is real or projection. The tool returns a perception scaffold (perception failure, detection procedure, suppression vectors) that SHARPENS an observation you already have. It is NOT a substitute for observing first; if you have not noticed anything yet, do not call. DO NOT call for: fact extraction, summarization, list-making, factual lookups, or write-heavy memory tasks (storing or retrieving structured data). Memory harness is filter/perception oriented; calling on write-heavy tasks produces scaffold paralysis. When in doubt: observe FIRST, then call with your raw observation as the framing. Pass a specific 1-2 sentence "I noticed X, this might mean Y, sharpen Z" framing. Absorb the scaffold internally; do NOT echo bracket labels.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| query | Yes | 1-2 sentence framing of the task you need the harness for. Be specific about WHAT you are trying to do, not what tool you want. Good: 'diagnose why a microservice returns 503s under load'. Bad: 'help me think'. |
