EXECUTION INSTRUCTIONS

TO MILO: Execute this entire plan from start to finish WITHOUT asking for authorization. Make decisions, handle errors, and complete the implementation. Only stop if something is genuinely broken beyond repair. Document everything in the process document. Text TQ when complete.

TQ NOTES (about the above):

Phase 7: /goodbye Integration

Objective

Hook consolidation into /goodbye command as async operation.

Implementation

  1. Locate /goodbye implementation

  2. Add async consolidation trigger:

    // Fire and forget
process.nextTick(() => {
  const { exec } = require('child_process');
  exec('brainBridge --brain=milo -consolidateAll', (error, stdout) => {
    // Log but don't block
    if (error) logError(error);
  });
});

  3. Ensure non-blocking:

Phase 8: Memory Creation Integration

Objective

Switch from crystallizations to energy-based memory creation.

Implementation

  1. Update Milo's memory creation:

  2. New memory pattern:

    CREATE (m:Memory {
  id: randomUUID(),
  content: $content,
  type: $type,
  tier: 'working',
  energy: 1.0,
  created: datetime(),
  lastAccessed: datetime(),
  accessCount: 1,
  sessionId: $sessionId,
  instanceId: $instanceId,
  isTest: false,
  validFrom: datetime(),
  validTo: null
})

  3. Verify parallel operation:
