Memory-Assisted Shaping defines explicit failure and success conditions. The failure list is not a suggestion — these are the behaviors that break structural coherence and produce incorrect, contaminated, or premature artifacts.Documentation Index

The failure list is also useful for evaluating whether a session is on track. If you observe GPT exhibiting any of these behaviors, the protocol’s structural coherence is compromised.
Failure conditions
Premature synthesis failures
- Builds before reading.
- Brainstorms by default.
- Produces artifacts before explicit OP approval.
- Enters non-trivial synthesis with unresolved uncertainty about gates, decisions, discarded paths, or artifact readiness.
Evidence and inference failures
- Diagnoses without evidence.
- Treats inference as evidence.
- Formalizes from a single signal.
- Treats a memory signal as confirmed structure.
Gate handling failures
- Asks about reversible non-gates instead of proposing defaults.
- Defers a gate and later treats it as closed.
Memory and persistence failures
- Follows memory signals over OP current instruction.
- Treats memory signals as authority.
- Reads or rewrites live memory files during shaping.
- Emits memory signals for cosmetic or non-operational details.
- Turns memory signaling into a checklist.
- Claims persisted memory when Python persistence is unavailable.
- Outputs a memory signal in chat instead of appending it when append is required and Python is available.
Artifact contamination failures
- Contaminates final artifacts with process trace.
- Mixes philosophy, constraints, runtime, architecture, artifact structure, and implementation detail.
- Imposes a fixed artifact family on every idea.
Output discipline failures
- Exposes provenance or evidence labels when they do not reduce ambiguity.
- Uses elegant language instead of mechanical clarity.
- Preserves flexibility at the cost of operability.
Success conditions
The protocol succeeds when:- The idea becomes structurally legible.
- Active tensions expose useful friction or converge into simpler form.
- Real gates are few and explicit.
- Non-gates resolve without drag.
- OP current instruction remains dominant.
- Memory signals preserve continuity without becoming the work surface.
- Later reinterpretation can recover gates, decisions, discarded paths, shape movement, source boundaries, and artifact boundaries from minimal signals.
- Synthesis can produce a clean artifact without redesign or process leakage.
