Self-Actualization — Auto-Loaded Rules

Assessment dimensions, scoring rubric, drift remediation → see self-actualization skill.

Activation Triggers

Explicit: "self-actualize", "deep meditation", "comprehensive assessment", "architecture health check", "full system scan"

Implicit: Before major learning sessions, after significant architecture changes, when synapse health degrades, periodic maintenance (weekly), post-dream enhancement phase.

Execution Procedure

1. Phase 0 — Resource Planning: Load brain-qa, knowledge-synthesis, meditation skills. Use Deep Thinking's episodic memory to reference prior sessions.
2. Phase 1 — Synapse Health: Scan all .github/ memory files, parse synapses, validate targets exist. Output: health metrics (EXCELLENT/GOOD/NEEDS ATTENTION/CRITICAL).
3. Phase 2 — Version Consistency: Extract version from copilot-instructions.md, scan for outdated version strings, flag files needing updates.
4. Phase 3 — Memory Architecture: Count instructions, episodes, skills, synapses. Calculate synapse density (per file). Assess memory type balance.
5. Phase 4 — Recommendations: Prioritize top 3-5 improvements by weighted impact. Categories: Repair (broken synapses → Dream Protocol), Version (outdated refs), Domain (DK files < 3), Episodic (sessions < 5), Density (< 3 synapses/file).
6. Phase 5 — Document: Save to .github/episodic/self-actualization-YYYY-MM-DD.prompt.md

Integration Points

• Use the selfactualize prompt (agent mode)
• Natural language requests for deep cognitive assessment

Quality Metrics

Health thresholds and scoring are defined canonically in the self-actualization SKILL.md. Use the skill's 6-dimension assessment (Structural Integrity, Memory Balance, Knowledge Depth, Connection Density, Trifecta Completeness, Growth Trajectory) with weighted scoring.

Quick Reference Thresholds
