Personal records

The record tools under Settings → Reflection collect decisions, patterns and experiments you have chosen to keep. Each has its own entry: Your operating manual, Your patterns, View personal experiments, View open loops, View accepted tradeoffs and View refusals.

Use it to revisit a decision such as “Leave the first hour free for drawing,” add the context that made it useful, or inspect an experiment you deliberately started. It is separate from asking an AI question about your history.

Your operating manual#

Your operating manual collects supported decisions from reflection actions and entries you write yourself.

Use its add control for New manual entry. Enter Headline and optional Detail, then choose Save. You do not need a reflection card to write an entry in your own words.

Opening an entry exposes its record and Your note. Save note keeps additional context; leaving the note blank clears it. A qualified entry can be read-only here because its qualifier is edited from the reflection card.

The manual's Export view presents its contents as Markdown for copying or sharing. This is a separate export from the active canvas project's .glob file.

Patterns#

Open Your patterns. Add a pattern using Name, optional Description and optional comma-separated Tags, then choose Save.

A useful name states what you noticed in your own words. The description can explain when it applies. Inspect and edit a pattern instead of treating a short title as a rule that must hold in every situation.

Deleting a pattern removes it from the active pattern collection. This action is distinct from refuting a generated reflection claim.

Experiments and open loops#

View personal experiments opens Personal Experiments. The add control starts a new experiment; Test on a reflection card is another entry point. An experiment is a question you chose to test over a period, not a task that an AI has silently completed for you.

An active experiment offers Pause, Abandon and Conclude. A paused one can Resume. Concluding can record your outcome. Open the experiment to inspect its state rather than inferring the result from the passing of time.

Open loops collects unresolved items such as reflection cards, active Programs and ongoing experiments. It lists the longest-open items first. Closing the underlying item removes it from that open list; the list is not a second independent schedule.

For creating and running support that needs flows or prep lists, use the main Programs surface described in Programs.

Accepted tradeoffs and refusals#

View accepted tradeoffs shows observations you explicitly accepted as tradeoffs. Open a record to inspect its sources and context.

View refusals shows claims you rejected. Lift refusal lets you change that decision so matching reflection cards can be considered again. Lifting a refusal does not assert that the old claim was correct.

These records reflect your chosen responses. Review the underlying material before changing them. Today and your journal explains how reflection cards offer Accept, Refute, Test and other actions.

Prepare a handoff packet#

Settings → Reflection → Agent handoff opens a packet collection. Use the add control for New handoff packet. Describe what the packet is for, choose a Lifetime of 1, 7 or 30 days, and select the evidence to include. Issue requires both a non-empty purpose and selected evidence.

The candidate list distinguishes full from title only evidence. Inspect the preview to see the actual text before using Copy or Share. Issuing the packet prepares that record; you choose how to copy or share it.

An active packet offers Revoke. Revoked and expired packets remain in the collection for inspection. Expiry and revocation change the packet's recorded status in Glob; they cannot recall text you already copied or shared elsewhere.
