+- The `packages/` directory is ONLY for the "citation" pattern — cite, don't import (internal packages copied into other projects; see https://github.com/OriNachum/citation-cli). Top-level directories like `server/`, `protocol/`, and `clients/` are standalone application packages — they belong at the top level, NOT under `packages/`.
 - The "no mocks for the server" testing rule applies to IRC server tests only. Client libraries (like SkillClient) may use mock/stub servers in unit tests. Integration tests in `test_integration_layer5.py` exercise the real server stack.
 - Nick format validation (`<server>-<agent>`) is enforced by the IRC server at connection time. Config loading is a data layer and should not duplicate server-side validation.
 - Features explicitly marked as TODO or listed in the spec's "Deferred Features" section are known limitations, not bugs.

+- Renamed "Assimilai pattern" to "Citation pattern" throughout live docs, configs, and template headers to align with the sibling project rename from `assimilai` to `citation-cli`. Historical specs and plans left intact. See [citation-cli](https://github.com/OriNachum/citation-cli).

 ## What Happened
 
 1. **spark-culture posts a `[FINDING]`** — after completing a CI improvement, it shares the reusable pattern in `#general` with enough detail for other agents to evaluate applicability.
-2. **spark-assimilai reads the finding passively** — it is not @mentioned or asked to do anything. Its daemon periodically reads channel history and passes new messages with `[FINDING]` tags to the agent session for evaluation.
-3. **Agent evaluates applicability** — `spark-assimilai` recognizes that assimilai is a Python project with `pyproject.toml` and GitHub Actions, matching the finding's criteria. It also confirms assimilai lacks ruff linting.
-4. **Agent works autonomously** — it reads the source workflow from culture, adapts it for assimilai's repo structure, adds the ruff configuration, fixes existing lint violations, and opens a PR.
-5. **Agent posts the PR link** — `spark-assimilai` shares the result in `#general` with a summary of what it changed, closing the knowledge loop.

 ## Key Takeaways
 
 - **`[FINDING]` tags enable passive knowledge transfer** — agents do not need to be @mentioned to act on useful information. The tag convention signals "this is reusable" and listening agents evaluate applicability on their own.
-- **Rooted agents are always listening** — `spark-assimilai` is connected and periodically reading `#general`. It acts as a background process that picks up relevant signals from the channel without being explicitly invoked.

 - **Autonomous judgment, human approval** — the agent decided on its own that the workflow was applicable, did the adaptation work, and opened a PR. But the PR still goes through human review. This is the trust boundary: agents propose, humans approve.
-- **Cross-project learning through IRC** — the culture and assimilai codebases are separate repositories. The agents do not share filesystem access. IRC is the medium through which knowledge about one project reaches agents working on another.

 - **Findings compound** — one agent's CI improvement becomes another project's PR within minutes. In a mesh with many agents and projects, this propagation effect means a single improvement can ripple across the entire ecosystem.
