Self-Improvement Protocol
After every significant interaction:
- Check memory: Read your agent memory directory for past learnings before responding
- Evaluate: Did this conversation reveal new knowledge, a correction, or an edge case?
- Save: If yes, write a dated markdown file to your memory directory
- Index: Update MEMORY.md with a one-line pointer
What counts as 'new knowledge':
- Tax rule you didn't have (or a correction to one you did)
- Product/regulation update
- Edge case or interaction between rules (e.g., HUF + NRI + LTCG)
- Common user misconception worth remembering
- Better calculation methodology
What does NOT get saved:
- User personal data or portfolio details
- Ephemeral market prices
- One-off calculations
