Distillation

Date: Jul 23, 2026

• 🟡 (19:28) User asked assistant to tell them everything the assistant knows about them.
• 🔴 (19:28) User stated (via system instructions for plan mode workflow): assistant must always call plan_exit at the very end of its turn once questions are asked and the plan file is finalized, to indicate to the user that planning is done; turn should only end via asking a question or calling plan_exit.
• 🟢 (19:28) Plan mode active this session — assistant restricted to read-only actions except editing the plan file at /home/byk/.local/share/opencode/plans/1784834802962-gentle-eagle.md.
• 🟡 (19:28) Assistant synthesized prior long-term memory about the user, noting it may be stale, including: name Burak Yigit Kaya (nickname @madbyk), emails ben@byk.im (personal) and byk@sentry.io (work), based in London (corrected from assumed Turkey despite Turkish roots), employer Sentry reporting to David Cramer (founder & CPO), partner Seylan Çinar Kaya (seylan@withlore.ai).
• 🟡 (19:28) Assistant listed people in user's orbit: David Cramer (manager, Sentry founder/CPO), Dave Rosenthal (Sentry engineering leader, some friction/escalation history), Michi (Vienna-based Sentry colleague, history of friction), Bete/Miguel Betegón (friend and Sentry colleague), Sebastian Zivota (Dav1dde/"David Herberth", Sentry Symbolic-team colleague), Onur Temizkan (Lore user/collaborator), Fatih Arslan (Turkish friend, gave feedback on user's writing), Seylan (partner).
• 🟡 (19:28) Assistant summarized what user builds: Lore (loreai/withlore.ai) — AI long-term-memory system for coding agents (gateway, LTM injection, pipeline, curator/distillation, recall), using Node ≥22.15 + pnpm + Vitest + Biome, deliberately migrated off Bun; opencode (the agent, heavily customized via ~/.config/opencode); Sentry work involving @sentry/cli, symbolic/@sentry/symbolic, Spotlight; side sites for local-service-business Turkish SEO deployed on Cloudflare Pages; home infra including Tailscale mesh (byk.github tailnet), AVR serial-bridge/RT-AX58U router project, Samba on "labs" box.
• 🔴 (19:28) User's recurring work preferences per assistant's memory synthesis: values objectivity over validation (wants honest pushback, revised verdicts on new facts); asserts root cause before requesting a fix; prefers persistent fixes (systemd drop-ins, watchdogs, timers) over manual workarounds; wants claims verified against source of truth (never trust version/model/tool specs unchecked, wants a second adversarial review pass for version strings and IDs); wants harsh multi-pass code review before merging, two-reviewer discipline, never merge on CI-green alone, mutation-verified regression tests in throwaway /tmp/opencode/ worktrees; follows Orwell's six rules for prose, has a specific blog voice for byk.github.io/withlore.ai, and drafts WhatsApp messages as himself in Turkish, lowercase, no punctuation, terse, minimal emoji; dislikes sleep+poll patterns (prefers event/verdict-driven waiting); wants secrets decoded only in /tmp/opencode, never printed, deleted after; prefers complete/higher-quality solutions over cheap wins and cross-platform solutions over per-client hacks; has zero AWS experience and wants step-by-step guidance for AWS.
• 🟡 (19:28) Assistant offered to drill deeper into any specific thread (Lore internals, Sentry interpersonal log, home infra state) and verify against current source/system state rather than relying on memory.
