Monthly Summary - December 2025

Generated: 2025-01-02 Files analyzed: 3 daily notes (2025-12-29, 2025-12-30, 2025-12-31)

Overview

The end of December focused heavily on Memory Loop development and documentation work for the digital garden. A clear theme emerged around articulating personal philosophy on AI collaboration and design choices.

Key Projects

Memory Loop

Active development continued throughout the period:

  • Added a task view to the Recall tab, fitting the Ground→Capture→Think→Recall cycle
  • Bug identified and recorded: send button sometimes disabled on Think tab despite text being present
  • Considered adding a “stop/abort” feature for the Think tab
  • Discussed removing the 50-turn limit and exploring permission hooks

Adventure Engine of Corvran

  • Screenshots and write-up planned

Digital Garden / Documentation

  • Considered expanding the Memory Loop page (vs. AI-generated content)
  • Planned write-up of CLAUDE.md files to express AI collaboration philosophy

Completed Tasks

From 2025-12-29:

  • Screenshots and write-up planning for Adventure Engine of Corvran
  • Memory Loop page expansion consideration
  • Naming conventions discussion (“because it’s fun”)
  • Color scheme rationale for Memory Loop (“keeps me from getting too serious”)
  • Stop/abort feature consideration for Think tab

From 2025-12-30:

  • Memory Loop bug recorded as GitHub issue
  • CLAUDE.md write-up planning
  • Image tweaking decision (road visibility)

Key Themes

Design Philosophy: “Because It’s Fun”

Two entries explicitly capture the reasoning behind unconventional choices:

  • Naming things: “Because it’s fun”
  • Memory Loop’s color scheme: “Because it’s fun and it keeps me from getting too serious about it. Also I can handle the noise or need it.”

AI Collaboration Observations

  • Claude’s tendency to add debug logs then delete them (noted as a training gap: “logging is good”)
  • Idea: have Claude audit a project file by file, though this raises the question “what does quality mean?”

Ground→Capture→Think→Recall Cycle

The task view addition explicitly maps to this established workflow pattern, with Recall having a sub-concept of Adjust.

Reflections / Questions Raised

  • Should the Memory Loop page be expanded, or is AI-generated content sufficient?
  • What does “quality” look like for a file-by-file project audit?
  • How to train AI assistants that logging is valuable (not something to clean up)?

Looking Ahead

  • February: Revisit “In what ways can you empower yourself to iterate, experiment, and change course more freely?” after Memory Loop sees real use
  • Potential tutorial creation for Memory Loop or Adventure Engine

Note: Only 3 daily notes were available for December 2025 (the final days of the month). This summary reflects a partial view of the month’s activities.
