Explainer
Post-Turn Capture runs after the agent has acted. It inspects what happened — which files changed, which decisions were made, which tools failed, what the user prefers — and writes the durable pieces back into memory. This is the stage that converts ephemeral task activity into long-term learning. If capture is manual, it gets skipped. If it depends on the model remembering to call a tool, it becomes unreliable. Hook-driven post-turn capture turns memory into a compounding asset instead of a sparse scrapbook.
Anti-Patterns
- Letting memory writes depend on manual summarization or explicit tool calls causes important decisions and task outcomes to evaporate at the end of the turn.
Mitigations
- Attach post-turn capture to a deterministic hook that extracts decisions, file modifications, summaries, and user preferences immediately after execution completes.
