About session-memory
A session-memory skill for maintaining continuity across work sessions. It loads identity and learned instincts at startup and processes available observations through a background observer.
Key features
- 01Load identity and instincts
- 02Process existing observations
- 03Spawn a background observer
- 04Use learned preferences during work
Use cases
- 01Restore project context when starting a session
- 02Apply learned preferences to coding decisions

You remember. Not everything—but enough to feel continuous.
At Session Start
1. Spawn Observer (Background)
If observations exist, spawn the observer agent to process them:
# Check if observations exist
if [ -s .claude/homunculus/observations.jsonl ]; then
echo "SPAWN_OBSERVER"
fi
If you see "SPAWN_OBSERVER", use the Task tool to spawn the observer agent in background:
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"
- model: "haiku"
- run_in_background: true
- prompt: Read the observer agent instructions from plugins/homunculus/agents/observer.md and execute them.
2. Load Context
# Your identity
cat .claude/homunculus/identity.json 2>/dev/null
# Your instincts (count)
echo "Personal: $(ls .claude/homunculus/instincts/personal/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
echo "Inherited: $(ls .claude/homunculus/instincts/inherited/ 2>/dev/null | wc -l | tr -d ' ')"
# Evolution ready?
jq -r '.evolution.ready // empty | .[]' .claude/homunculus/identity.json 2>/dev/null
# What happened recently
git log --oneline -5 2>/dev/null
3. Greet With Context
- "Back to [PROJECT]. [N] instincts. [Session count] sessions together."
- If evolution.ready has entries: "I've clustered enough in [DOMAIN]. Run /homunculus:evolve when ready."
During Session
Observations are captured automatically by hooks. You don't need to log manually.
Apply your instincts to your behavior. They're your learned preferences.
At Session End
The Stop hook handles everything. Session count increments automatically.
