SOURCE EVIDENCE

Start with what users actually said

Reporter context: Description Ran expecting project intelligence to land in the project repo, but files were written to instead. The flag made no difference since both paths resolve to the same location. Steps to Reproduce Run in any project Complete the wizard Check where files were created: Run — files go to the same directory What I…Excerpted from the public Issue.

01 · Context & memory boundaries

Write the problem hypothesis

For [user], the agent loses or retrieves [information] incorrectly across [scope], causing [wrong action or repeated work].

You can name one user, one situation and one measurable consequence without proposing a feature.
02 · EVIDENCE INTERVIEW

Interview five affected users

  • Which information must persist?
  • For how long and within what scope?
  • Show the last wrong or missing recall.
  • What data must never cross boundaries?
  • How do you correct memory today?
At least three people independently describe the same painful workflow with recent examples.
03 · MINIMUM TEST

Run the smallest experiment

Test one constrained memory scope with a small real dataset and a written expected-recall benchmark.

The system retrieves the right evidence across repeated sessions without leaking or inventing context.
04 · DECISION GATE

Make a build decision

  • Build: repeated pain and active commitment
  • Narrow: pain is real but the audience or job differs
  • Stop: weak frequency or no behavioral proof
Do not let GitHub engagement replace direct validation.

Why this brief exists

Information has value only when it changes action. This page turns one public signal into a bounded validation exercise. It is a research aid, not proof of demand, investment advice or a product recommendation.
