363 Process Improvement Learnings

363: Process Improvement Learnings

This chunk captures key learnings from the “Workspace Integrity and Tooling Resilience” project.

1. Tooling is Not Enough; Process Integration is Key

Simply creating a new tool is insufficient. To ensure adoption and prevent process drift, new tools designed to replace faulty ones must be explicitly and mandatorily integrated into the core process documentation, and the old methods must be clearly deprecated.

2. Automated Enforcement Trumps Documented Compliance

Relying on agents to remember and adhere to documented rules is not a reliable mechanism for ensuring process conformance. Where possible, critical process rules should be enforced through automation at key points in the agent lifecycle (e.g., bootstrap, checkpointing).

3. Meta-Work Must Be Proactive

The gemini-thinker persona is most effective when it not only plans and executes meta-projects but also seizes opportunities to correct process drift as it occurs.
