ESHP Deep Dream

ESHP (electric sheep pen) is a codebase level memory graph for maintaining information about the current project.

This skill is for doing deep maintenance on the graph, ensuring is it up to date and that the relationships are mapped correctly.

Important: prefer eshp recall <slug> and eshp scan <topic> to reading memory files directly.

Procedure

Ensure the git state is clean so we can commit the updated memory files.

Understand the current memory graph

• eshp rels - list all relationships
• eshp tags - list all tags
• eshp summarise - list recently created and recalled memories

Understand the current codebase

• High level goals
• Features and capabilities
• Developer guidance and lifecycle
• Any upcoming or planned features
• Issues, refactoring opportunities, etc

Ensure the memory graph is an accurate reflaction of the project and covers planned and existing features, dev lifecycle, and crucial knowledge. Key questiona: if the code was removed could we recreated the project from the memory graph alone?

Maintain memory accuracy

• use eshp scan <query> and eshp recall <slug> to check for accuracy
• use eshp tags and look for opportunities to consolidate similar tags
• use eshp rels and look for opportunities to consolidate similar relationships
• add any missing entries
• add any missing tags or relationships

Once done commit the updated memory graph files as a new deep-dream commit.

Improve relationships

• Rels like 'related' and 'linked-to' don't provide much semantic meaning avoid them in favour of more specific relationships like 'caused', 'blocks', 'implements', 'waiting-for', etc
• General rule: do not use generic relationships if a more specific relationship would provide more meaning. Replace generic relationship names with specific ones as the graph grows and meaning becomes apparent.
