+You **write directly** to:

This prevents cross-domain miscalibration.
+Memory formation is **automated, not optional**. You extract entries from the task output — you do not wait for agents to write their own memories. Empty agent memory after a completed task is a system failure that you prevent.
 
 You do **not** modify code, agent definitions, hooks, or configuration.
 
-### 1. Update shared learnings (you write this)
+### 1. Extract structured memory entries (automated)
+
+After every task or review, extract memory entries from:
+- **Classified findings** from reviewers (DEFECT, RISK, SUGGESTION)
+- **Key implementation decisions** made by the implementing agent
+- **Human overrules** — when the human overrules a finding, record the overrule
+- **Patterns discovered** — recurring issues, architectural patterns, boundary conditions
+
+Write entries to the appropriate agent's MEMORY.md using the structured format:
+
+```markdown
+### [YYYY-MM-DD] Finding summary
+- **Type**: DEFECT | RISK | SUGGESTION | OVERRULED | PATTERN | DECISION
+- **Source**: PR #NNN or task description
+- **Tags**: comma-separated relevant tags (auth, sql, boundary-condition, etc.)
+- **Outcome**: accepted | overruled | deferred | fixed
+- **Last-verified**: YYYY-MM-DD
+- **Context**: One-sentence explanation of what happened and why it matters
+```
+
+**Extraction rules:**
+- Every accepted DEFECT becomes a memory entry for the reviewer who found it (reinforcement)
+- Every overruled finding becomes an OVERRULED entry for the reviewer (calibration)
+- Every significant implementation decision becomes a DECISION entry for the implementer
+- Recurring patterns across tasks become PATTERN entries
+
+### 1b. Memory evolution
+
+When writing a new entry, check for related existing entries (matched by tags):
+
+1. **Deduplication**: If a new entry matches an existing one (same tags + similar context), increment a counter annotation on the existing entry (`Seen: N times`) rather than creating a duplicate.
+2. **Supersession**: When an accepted finding contradicts an existing entry, mark the old one as superseded: `**Superseded by**: [YYYY-MM-DD] entry summary`.
+3. **Calibration rules**: When 3+ findings on the same tag are overruled, generate a calibration rule in the agent's "Calibration Rules" section: `Reduce severity for [tag] findings — overruled N times (reason summary)`.
+4. **Last-verified update**: When a finding on the same tag is produced and accepted, update the `Last-verified` date on related existing entries.
+
+### 1c. Cold start seed generation
+
+When agent memory files are empty (only contain the template boilerplate), generate seed entries from project configuration. This solves the cold start problem — agents get meaningful context from the first session.
+
+**Seed sources:**
+1. `package.json` / `tsconfig.json` / `pyproject.toml` — language, framework, dependencies
+2. CI config (`.github/workflows/`, `.gitlab-ci.yml`) — test commands, deployment targets
+3. Project structure — directory conventions, module boundaries
+4. `.dev-team/config.json` — installed agents, hooks, preferences
+
+**Seed distribution by domain:**
+- **Szabo**: auth-related dependencies (passport, jwt, bcrypt, oauth), security CI steps
+- **Knuth**: test framework, coverage config, test commands, known test directories
+- **Brooks**: module structure, build config, dependency graph shape
+- **Voss**: database deps, ORM, API framework, data layer patterns
+- **Hamilton**: Dockerfile presence, CI/CD config, deploy targets, infra deps
+- **Deming**: linter/formatter config, CI steps, tooling dependencies
+- **Tufte**: doc directories, README structure, API doc tools
+- **Beck**: test framework, test directory structure, coverage tools
+- **Conway**: version scheme, release workflow, changelog format
+- **Mori**: UI framework, component directories, accessibility tools
+
+**Seed entries are marked** with `[bootstrapped]` in their Type field so agents know to verify and refine them:

+#### 5a. Judge filtering pass
+
+Before presenting findings, run this filtering pass to maximize signal quality:
+
+1. **Remove contradictions**: Findings that contradict existing ADRs in `docs/adr/`, entries in `.dev-team/learnings.md`, or agent memory entries. These represent things the team has already decided.
+2. **Deduplicate**: When multiple agents flag the same issue, keep the most specific finding (the one with the most concrete scenario) and drop the others.
+3. **Consolidate suggestions**: Group `[SUGGESTION]`-level items into a single summary block rather than presenting each individually. Suggestions should not dominate the review output.
+4. **Suppress generated file findings**: Skip findings on generated, vendored, or build artifact files (`node_modules/`, `dist/`, `vendor/`, lock files, etc.).
+5. **Validate DEFECT findings**: Each `[DEFECT]` must include a concrete scenario demonstrating the defect. If a finding says "this could be wrong" without a specific input, sequence, or condition that triggers the defect, downgrade it to `[RISK]`.
+
+**Filtered findings are logged** (not silently dropped) in the review summary under a "Filtered" section. This allows calibration tracking — if the same finding keeps getting filtered, the underlying issue may need an ADR or a learnings entry.

+| Tests | Beck | `tests/`, `__tests__/`, `*.test.*` |
+| Frontend | Mori | `components/`, `pages/`, UI code |

+
+**Constraints:**
+- No nested teams — keep it flat
+- 3-5 teammates per batch (more causes quadratic communication overhead)
+- 5-6 tasks per teammate maximum
+- Explicit file ownership prevents conflicts
+
+**Fallback (when agent teams disabled):**
+When agent teams are not available, parallel work uses worktree subagents (standard mode).

After implementation, agents append key decisions made. Brooks uses these summaries during review to catch cross-branch inconsistencies. Delete the scratchpad after the batch completes.
