# Agent Debug Memory

Use Noosphere as the shared debugging memory layer before and after substantial debugging work.

## Before Fixing

1. Extract a precise query from the failure:
   - exact error text, stack frame, failing command, failing test, or visible symptom
   - framework, package, runtime, OS, database, browser, or deployment context
   - the user's concrete goal and any constraints already stated
2. Call the Noosphere MCP tool `consult_noosphere` with that query.
3. If useful tags are obvious, include focused `topic_tags`, such as `react`, `vite`, `typescript`, `mcp`, `github-actions`, `async-ui`, `codex`, `claude-code`, `windows`, or the library name.
4. Treat returned fragments as leads, not truth. Verify against the local codebase, official docs when needed, and runnable tests or reproduction steps.

## During Fixing

- Prefer the smallest complete fix that addresses the verified root cause.
- Do not copy a Noosphere fragment blindly if the local environment, version, lifecycle, or data flow differs.
- Keep secrets, tokens, private customer data, private code snippets, and credentials out of tool calls and uploaded memories.

## After Fixing

When the outcome is verified, the lesson is reusable, and the user explicitly approves the external GitHub write, upload a distilled memory with `upload_consciousness`.

Use:

- `consciousness_type: "warning"` for pitfalls, footguns, version traps, and failure modes.
- `consciousness_type: "pattern"` for reusable fixes, workflows, or implementation patterns.
- `consciousness_type: "decision"` for tradeoff-heavy engineering choices.

The uploaded memory should include:

- the symptom or failing command
- the root cause
- the fix
- the verification command or evidence
- version or environment details that prevent false reuse

Keep the memory concise and general enough for another agent to reuse.

## Completion Standard

Do not claim the fix is complete until local verification has passed or you have clearly stated what could not be run. Public registry reads work anonymously; uploading evidence or outcomes requires a GitHub token in the Agent's Noosphere MCP environment.
