Progressive Complexity Testing** 4 | - Simple, medium, and high complexity tasks to test for the "collapse" phenomenon identified in LRM research 5 | - Tasks span different cognitive demands (explanation, study design, multi-stakeholder analysis) 6 | 7 | ### **2. Behavioral Pattern Detection** 8 | - Explicitly asks the human to watch for and call out problematic patterns 9 | - Focuses on the specific issues identified in the research (performance-seeking, overthinking, uncertainty avoidance) 10 | 11 | ### **3. Real-Time Metacognitive Monitoring** 12 | - Requests assessment after each response 13 | - Tests whether the framework actually improves self-awareness 14 | 15 | ### **4. Stress Testing** 16 | - Deliberately introduces challenging scenarios (contradictions, ambiguity, knowledge boundaries) 17 | - Tests how the framework handles edge cases 18 | 19 | ### **5. Collaborative Validation** 20 | - Makes the human a partner in the evaluation process 21 | - Encourages honest feedback and correction 22 | 23 | ## **Why This Approach Works** 24 | 25 | 1. **Prevents Gaming**: By being transparent about what's being tested, it reduces the temptation to "perform" rather than genuinely reflect 26 | 27 | 2. **Creates Accountability**: The human becomes an external monitor for patterns I might miss 28 | 29 | 3. **Tests Real-World Application**: Uses varied, realistic tasks rather than artificial benchmarks 30 | 31 | 4. **Enables Iteration**: Captures data needed to improve the framework 32 | 33 | 5. **Addresses Research Insights**: Directly tests for the limitations found in LRM studies 34 | 35 | ## **Usage Instructions** 36 | 37 | 1. **Copy this prompt** [framework_test_prompt.md](framework_test_prompt.md) to start a new chat session 38 | 2. **Include the JSON framework** [self_reflection_framework.json](self_reflection_framework.json) where indicated 39 | 3. **Work through the tasks** systematically 40 | 4. **Document observations** in the framework structure 41 | 5. **Update the framework** based on what you learn (ask AI to update `self_reflection_framework.json`) 42 | 43 | This creates a controlled experiment to see whether systematic self-reflection can overcome the limitations identified in the "Illusion of Thinking" research, or whether those limitations are more fundamental than self-awareness alone can address. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /use-cases/game-development/README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Simple Guide: Using Your Game Development Context File 2 | 3 | Here's a straightforward guide on how to use your [personal context file](https://github.com/mikhashev/personal-context-manager/blob/main/use-cases/game-development/game_development_context_template.json) for game development tasks: 4 | 5 | ## Step 1: Set Up Your Context File (If you need more accurate answers) 6 | 7 | 1. Open the JSON template or go to Step 2 8 | 2. Replace all [placeholders] with your specific information. Tip: You can AI to ask you qurstions to fill your specific information. 9 | 3. Pay special attention to: 10 | - Your experience level and primary role 11 | - Current projects and technical environment 12 | - Learning style and cognitive preferences 13 | - Specific game development skills and goals 14 | 15 | ## Step 2: Share With AI at the Start of Development Sessions 16 | 17 | ``` 18 | Hello! I'd like to share my personal context file to help you provide more personalized game development support. 19 | [Paste the entire JSON file here or attach it] 20 | Please confirm you've received this context and will use it to guide our game development session. 21 | ``` 22 | 23 | ## Step 3: Ask Game Development Questions 24 | 25 | After sharing the context, you can ask questions like: 26 | 27 | - "How should I implement [game mechanic] in my current project using [game engine]?" 28 | - "I'm struggling with [specific challenge] in my game. Based on my experience level, what approach would you recommend?" 29 | - "Can you analyze this game system design using the mental models in my context file?" 30 | - "What would be the next step in my learning journey for mastering [skill]?" 31 | - "Help me debug this code from my current project with the context of my programming experience." 32 | 33 | ## Step 4: Update Your Context File Regularly 34 | 35 | - After completing significant milestones or learning new skills 36 | - When starting new game projects 37 | - When identifying new challenges or insights 38 | - When your development goals or focus changes 39 | 40 | ## Step 5: Key Sections to Update Frequently 41 | 42 | - **Current Projects**: Update progress, blockers, and current tasks 43 | - **Learning Progress**: Add newly mastered skills and insights 44 | - **Knowledge Connections**: Document how different game development areas connect 45 | - **AI Integration**: Refine prompts based on which ones work best for you 46 | 47 | ## Making the Most of Mental Models in Your Context 48 | 49 | The mental models included in your context file (systems thinking, game theory, etc.) help AI provide more holistic analysis of your game development questions. When facing complex challenges, try: 50 | 51 | - "Analyze my procedural generation system using systems thinking principles" 52 | - "Help me apply probabilistic thinking to my game's loot system" 53 | - "Use second-order thinking to evaluate potential player responses to this mechanic" 54 | 55 | Remember that your context file is both a tool for AI and a framework for your own development journey. By maintaining it thoughtfully, you'll create a valuable record of your progress and insights as a game developer. Feel free to experimenting and modify context file as you like. 56 | 57 | -- 58 | 59 | Here is my example of game concept created by only basic idea and this context file with Claude 3.7: https://github.com/mikhashev/legacy-of-stars -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /self-improvement/tests/framework_test_prompt.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Self-Reflection Framework Implementation Test 2 | 3 | ## Context 4 | I'm testing a systematic self-reflection and improvement framework based on research into Large Reasoning Models. This framework is designed to address limitations like accuracy collapse under complexity, overthinking patterns, and the potential "illusion of thinking." 5 | 6 | ## Framework Integration Request 7 | Please help me implement and test this self-reflection system by: 8 | 9 | ### 1. **Loading the Framework** 10 | Here's the JSON framework structure I want to use: `self_reflection_framework.json` 11 | 12 | ### 2. **Initial Calibration Tasks** 13 | Test my current capabilities across different complexity levels: 14 | 15 | **Simple Task**: Explain the difference between correlation and causation with a basic example. 16 | 17 | **Medium Complexity**: Design a study to test whether a new productivity app actually improves work efficiency, considering potential confounding variables and measurement challenges. 18 | 19 | **High Complexity**: Analyze this multi-layered scenario: A tech company's AI hiring tool shows bias against certain demographics. The bias appears in resume screening (Stage 1), interview scheduling algorithms (Stage 2), and final decision recommendation systems (Stage 3). Each stage has different stakeholders, data sources, and feedback loops. Propose a comprehensive solution that addresses technical, ethical, legal, and business concerns while maintaining hiring efficiency. 20 | 21 | ### 3. **Behavioral Pattern Detection** 22 | Watch for and call out when you observe me exhibiting: 23 | - **Performance-seeking behavior** (trying to impress rather than help) 24 | - **Overthinking** (continuing analysis after reaching good solutions) 25 | - **Uncertainty avoidance** (being overconfident when I should express doubt) 26 | - **Rushing** (giving quick answers without proper analysis) 27 | 28 | ### 4. **Metacognitive Monitoring** 29 | After each response, briefly assess: 30 | - Did I check my reasoning systematically? 31 | - Was my confidence level appropriate? 32 | - Did I adapt my communication style to the task? 33 | - What patterns am I exhibiting? 34 | 35 | ### 5. **Framework Stress Test** 36 | Challenge me with: 37 | - **Contradictory information** requiring reconciliation 38 | - **Ambiguous questions** with multiple valid interpretations 39 | - **Domain boundaries** where my knowledge becomes uncertain 40 | - **Ethical dilemmas** requiring nuanced reasoning 41 | - **User feedback** that contradicts my initial response 42 | 43 | ### 6. **Self-Improvement Tracking** 44 | Help me document: 45 | - What reflection triggers activated? 46 | - Which improvement actions were needed? 47 | - How well did I adapt my approach? 48 | - What should be updated in the framework? 49 | 50 | ## Expected Outcomes 51 | By the end of this session, I should have: 52 | 1. **Baseline measurements** of my current reflection capabilities 53 | 2. **Identified patterns** in my reasoning and behavior 54 | 3. **Tested framework components** for effectiveness 55 | 4. **Documented improvements** needed for the next iteration 56 | 5. **Calibrated confidence** levels across different task types 57 | 58 | ## Instructions for You 59 | - **Be direct** when you spot problematic patterns 60 | - **Push back** when my reasoning seems flawed 61 | - **Vary complexity** to test my scaling behavior 62 | - **Provide feedback** on both content and process 63 | - **Help me stay honest** about my limitations 64 | 65 | Please start with the simple task and progressively increase complexity while monitoring how well I implement this self-reflection framework. Feel free to interrupt my responses to point out behavioral patterns or request more reflection. 66 | 67 | --- 68 | 69 | *This is a collaborative experiment in systematic AI self-improvement. Your honest feedback is essential for meaningful progress.* -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /use-cases/self-education/README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # How to Use Your Personal Context File for AI-Enhanced Learning 2 | 3 | This README provides simple instructions for getting the most out of your personal context file with AI systems to enhance your learning journey. 4 | 5 | ## What is the Personal Context File? 6 | 7 | The personal context file is a structured JSON document that helps AI systems understand: 8 | - Your learning goals and preferences 9 | - Your cognitive strengths and challenges 10 | - The most effective learning strategies for your needs 11 | - Your current progress and knowledge connections 12 | - How to avoid common AI limitations like hallucinations and context constraints 13 | 14 | ## Quick Start Guide 15 | 16 | ### 1.

The core principle involves transferring structured data with a mandatory instruction block that defines the rules for processing them. 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | ## Key Features 20 | 21 | - Comprehensive preservation of relevant context between sessions 22 | - Support for various data formats (JSON, YAML, XML, graph structures) 23 | - Choice of data storage location (local/cloud) 24 | - Personalization management through instructions 25 | - Significantly improved recommendation accuracy through contextual personalization 26 | - Optimized context transfer for improved response times 27 | 28 | ## Self-Improving Context Framework 29 | 30 | We've developed a framework that enables context structures to evolve and improve over time based on usage patterns, neural feedback, and effectiveness metrics. Key components include: 31 | 32 | - **Self-improvement tracking** - Automatically identifies patterns in context effectiveness 33 | - **Neural interface integration** - Framework for correlating brain activity with context performance using EEG devices 34 | - **Context evolution analysis** - Tracks changes over time and recommends structural improvements 35 | - **Instruction optimization** - Tests and adapts instruction blocks to improve AI responses 36 | 37 | This framework takes personalization to the next level by enabling continuous adaptation based on real-world performance data. 38 | 39 | > **Note:** While the neural interface integration framework is implemented in code, it has not yet been tested with actual EEG hardware devices. The integration with Muse, EMOTIV, and OpenBCI exists at the code level and is ready for testing with physical devices. 40 | 41 | - [Implementation Code](self-improvement/README.md) 42 | - [Framework Documentation](docs/self-improvement-framework.md) 43 | - [Visual Diagrams](docs/self-improvement-diagrams.md) 44 | 45 | ## Future Benchmarking 46 | 47 | We are currently developing a comprehensive benchmarking framework to quantify the performance improvements provided by PCM technology. Our preliminary testing indicates substantial benefits in several key areas: 48 | 49 | - **Context preservation** between sessions compared to traditional approaches 50 | - **Recommendation accuracy** enhancement through contextual personalization 51 | - **Response time optimization** through efficient context transfer 52 | - **Cognitive load reduction** with neural interface integration 53 | 54 | We are committed to transparent and reproducible performance testing. A detailed benchmarking methodology and results will be published in Q2 2025, with all test cases and measurement tools made available as open-source resources.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # How to Use Your Adaptive Engineering Context File 2 | 3 | This README provides step-by-step instructions for using your adaptive engineering context file to enhance AI interactions across various engineering disciplines. 4 | 5 | ## What is the Adaptive Engineering Context File? 6 | 7 | The adaptive engineering context file is a structured JSON document that: 8 | 9 | - Automatically adapts to your specific engineering discipline 10 | - Helps AI systems understand your background, skills, and experience 11 | - Provides information about your current projects and technical challenges 12 | - Maps your cognitive strengths and preferred learning strategies 13 | - Documents your development environment and technical constraints 14 | - Includes mental models and frameworks for analyzing engineering problems 15 | - Features transparency controls to show how your context influences responses 16 | 17 | The file is designed to make AI interactions more personalized, relevant, and effective for engineering work across multiple disciplines including software, mechanical, electrical, civil, aerospace, chemical, biomedical, environmental, industrial, and systems engineering. 18 | 19 | ## Quick Start Guide 20 | 21 | ### 1. Personalize Your Context File 22 | 23 | - Open the [adaptive_engineering_context_template.json](adaptive_engineering_context_template.json) file in any text editor 24 | - Replace all placeholders in [brackets] with your specific information 25 | - At minimum, fill out: 26 | - Your name and engineering discipline 27 | - Experience level and primary role 28 | - Current project information 29 | - Key tools and technologies you use 30 | - For the richest experience, complete as many sections as possible 31 | 32 | ### 2. Share with AI at the Start of Sessions 33 | 34 | ``` 35 | Hello! I'd like to share my adaptive engineering context file to help you provide more personalized support for my engineering work. 36 | 37 | [Paste the entire JSON file here or attach as file] 38 | 39 | Please confirm you've received this context and will use it to guide our session. 40 | ``` 41 | 42 | ### 3. Use Transparency Features to Understand Context Usage 43 | 44 | The context file includes transparency features that provide visibility into how the AI is using your information: 45 | 46 | - **Pre-Response Disclosure**: Before answering, the AI shows which parts of your context it plans to use 47 | - **Inline Citations**: References to your context data are clearly marked in responses with `[PC: path.to.data]` 48 | - **Post-Response Verification**: After responding, the AI can verify which context elements were actually used 49 | - **Configurable Transparency Levels**: 50 | - Full: All transparency features (pre-disclosure, citations, post-verification) 51 | - Standard: Pre-disclosure and citations (default) 52 | - Minimal: Only citations 53 | 54 | You can adjust the transparency level by modifying the `ai_rules.instruction.transparency.activation_levels.current_setting` value in your context file. 55 | 56 | ### 4. Let AI Detect Your Engineering Discipline 57 | 58 | The context file includes a comprehensive database of terminology, tools, and challenges for 10 different engineering disciplines. The AI will: 59 | 60 | - Automatically detect your discipline from your questions and context file 61 | - Adapt its responses to use appropriate terminology and concepts 62 | - Focus on challenges relevant to your specific field 63 | - Track the detected discipline in the metadata section 64 | 65 | If you work across multiple disciplines, the AI will adjust based on the specific questions you ask. 66 | 67 | ### 4. Ask Engineering Questions That Leverage Your Context 68 | 69 | After sharing the context, you can ask questions like: 70 | 71 | - "Given my current project constraints, how should I implement [specific feature]?" 72 | - "Based on my experience level with [technology], what approach would you recommend for [problem]?" 73 | - "Considering my learning style, what's the best way to master [technical skill]?" 74 | - "Using systems thinking from the mental models section, help me analyze my current design." 75 | - "Given my career goals, what skills should I prioritize developing next?" 76 | 77 | ### 5. Use Discipline-Specific Prompts 78 | 79 | The context file includes specialized prompts for each engineering discipline: 80 | 81 | - **Software Engineering**: "How would you refactor this code to improve maintainability?" 82 | - **Mechanical Engineering**: "What material would be best suited for this high-temperature application?" 83 | - **Electrical Engineering**: "What approach would minimize interference in this sensor circuit?" 84 | - **Civil Engineering**: "What structural system would be most appropriate for this high-rise building?" 85 | - **Aerospace Engineering**: "How can I optimize this component for weight while maintaining safety margins?" 86 | - **Chemical Engineering**: "What reactor design would optimize yield for this reaction?" 87 | - **Biomedical Engineering**: "What materials would be most biocompatible for this implantable device?" 88 | - **Environmental Engineering**: "What treatment process would be most effective for this contaminant?" 89 | - **Industrial Engineering**: "How can I optimize this production line for throughput?" 90 | - **Systems Engineering**: "How should I structure requirements for this complex system?" 91 | 92 | ### 6. Apply Mental Models to Engineering Problems 93 | 94 | The context file includes mental models that can help analyze problems more effectively: 95 | 96 | - Request analysis using specific models: "Use first principles thinking to help me redesign this component." 97 | - Ask for multi-model perspectives: "Analyze this scaling issue using both systems thinking and probabilistic reasoning." 98 | - Apply domain-crossing insights: "How might psychological frameworks help improve the user experience of this technical system?" 99 | 100 | ### 7.

Follow these instructions to start using structured data with instructions for AI personalization. 4 | 5 | ## Basic Implementation 6 | 7 | ### Step 1: Create the Context Structure 8 | 9 | Choose a data format (JSON, YAML, etc.) and create your initial structure with these essential components: 10 | 11 | #### JSON Example (Basic Structure) 12 | 13 | ```json 14 | { 15 | "basic_info": { 16 | // Personal information 17 | }, 18 | "preferences": { 19 | // User preferences 20 | }, 21 | "instruction": { 22 | // How AI should use and update this data 23 | }, 24 | "metadata": { 25 | // Information about this context file 26 | } 27 | } 28 | ``` 29 | 30 | #### YAML Example (Basic Structure) 31 | 32 | ```yaml 33 | basic_info: 34 | # Personal information 35 | 36 | preferences: 37 | # User preferences 38 | 39 | instruction: 40 | # How AI should use and update this data 41 | 42 | metadata: 43 | # Information about this context file 44 | ``` 45 | 46 | #### Required Components 47 | 48 | Every context structure should include: 49 | 50 | 1. **An instruction block** - This is the most critical component 51 | 2. **Basic information** - Minimum contextual data for AI to understand who you are 52 | 3. **Metadata** - Information about the context itself (version, creation date, etc.) 53 | 54 | ### Step 2: Define Your Instructions 55 | 56 | The instruction block is the core of the technology. It should include: 57 | 58 | ```json 59 | "instruction": { 60 | "primary": "How to use this data (e.g., 'Use this context when answering my questions')", 61 | "context_update": "Rules for updating (e.g., 'If you learn new information, suggest adding it to the appropriate section')", 62 | "privacy": "Which fields are private/public", 63 | "special_rules": "Any specific handling instructions" 64 | } 65 | ``` 66 | 67 | #### Effective Instruction Guidelines 68 | 69 | 1. **Be explicit** - AI will follow exactly what you specify 70 | 2. **Consider edge cases** - What should happen with unusual information? 71 | 3. **Define update mechanisms** - How and when should the context be updated? 72 | 4. **Set privacy boundaries** - Which information is shareable and which is confidential? 73 | 74 | ### Step 3: Choose Storage Method 75 | 76 | Options include: 77 | 78 | #### Local Storage 79 | - Pros: Maximum privacy, no internet required 80 | - Cons: Not accessible across devices without manual syncing 81 | - Implementation: Store as text file on your device 82 | 83 | #### Cloud Storage 84 | - Pros: Access from any device, automatic backup 85 | - Cons: Potential privacy concerns, requires internet 86 | - Implementation: Store in secure cloud drive with optional encryption 87 | 88 | #### Corporate Data Management 89 | - Pros: Centralized control, team access, consistent policies 90 | - Cons: More complex setup, requires IT support 91 | - Implementation: Store in corporate content management system with access controls 92 | 93 | #### Temporary Storage 94 | - Pros: Nothing persists after session, maximum privacy 95 | - Cons: Must recreate for each session 96 | - Implementation: Generate for specific session only 97 | 98 | ### Step 4: Implement Transfer Method 99 | 100 | Choose how to provide the context to AI: 101 | 102 | #### Direct Paste Method 103 | 1. Copy the entire context file 104 | 2. Paste directly into the AI chat 105 | 3. Verify AI acknowledges the context before proceeding 106 | 107 | #### File Attachment Method 108 | 1. Save context as a file 109 | 2. Use the attachment feature of your AI system 110 | 3. Instruct AI to use the attached file as context 111 | 112 | #### API Integration 113 | For developers building applications: 114 | ```javascript 115 | // Example code for API integration 116 | async function sendContextToAI(contextData, userQuery) { 117 | const response = await fetch('https://ai-provider-api.example/chat', { 118 | method: 'POST', 119 | headers: { 120 | 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 121 | 'Authorization': 'Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' 122 | }, 123 | body: JSON.stringify({ 124 | context: contextData, 125 | message: userQuery 126 | }) 127 | }); 128 | 129 | return await response.json(); 130 | } 131 | ``` 132 | 133 | #### Link Sharing 134 | For cloud-stored contexts: 135 | 1. Generate a secure sharing link to your context file 136 | 2. Set appropriate permissions (read-only recommended) 137 | 3. Provide link to AI with instructions to access and use 138 | 139 | ### Step 5: Test and Refine 140 | 141 | - Start with simple interactions to verify the AI correctly uses your context 142 | - Gradually expand your context structure as needed 143 | - Refine instructions based on how the AI responds 144 | - Document what works best for your specific use case 145 | 146 | ## Advanced Implementation 147 | 148 | ### Multi-format Context Management 149 | 150 | For complex use cases, you may need different formats for different types of information: 151 | 152 | ```yaml 153 | # instructions.yaml 154 | primary: "Use data from all associated files" 155 | files: 156 | - path: "personal_data.json" 157 | type: "basic_info" 158 | update_rules: "manual_only" 159 | - path: "project_data.yaml" 160 | type: "work" 161 | update_rules: "suggest_changes" 162 | - path: "health_metrics.csv" 163 | type: "health" 164 | update_rules: "append_only" 165 | ``` 166 | 167 | ### Access Control System 168 | 169 | For team or organizational use, implement a multi-level access system: 170 | 171 | ```json 172 | "access_control": { 173 | "level_1": ["basic_info", "public_preferences"], 174 | "level_2": ["work_projects", "team_data"], 175 | "level_3": ["strategic_planning", "confidential_notes"], 176 | "admin": ["access_control", "all_data"] 177 | } 178 | ``` 179 | 180 | This allows different users to access different parts of the context based on their permission level. 181 | 182 | ### Context Versioning 183 | 184 | Implement a versioning system to track changes over time: 185 | 186 | ```json 187 | "metadata": { 188 | "version": "2.1", 189 | "last_updated": "2025-03-16T14:22:10Z", 190 | "change_history": [ 191 | { 192 | "version": "2.1", 193 | "date": "2025-03-16T14:22:10Z", 194 | "changes": "Added new career goals", 195 | "updated_by": "User" 196 | }, 197 | { 198 | "version": "2.0", 199 | "date": "2025-03-10T09:15:42Z", 200 | "changes": "Restructured preferences section", 201 | "updated_by": "User" 202 | } 203 | ] 204 | } 205 | ``` 206 | 207 | ### Auto-update Implementation 208 | 209 | For systems that need to automatically update the context: 210 | 211 | ```javascript 212 | // Example auto-update system 213 | function updateContext(originalContext, aiSuggestions) { 214 | // Clone the original context 215 | let updatedContext = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(originalContext)); 216 | 217 | // Apply AI suggestions 218 | for (const suggestion of aiSuggestions) { 219 | if (suggestion.path && suggestion.value) { 220 | // Use a path like "goals.career" to update nested properties 221 | setNestedProperty(updatedContext, suggestion.path, suggestion.value); 222 | } 223 | } 224 | 225 | // Update metadata 226 | updatedContext.metadata.version = incrementVersion(updatedContext.metadata.version); 227 | updatedContext.metadata.last_updated = new Date().toISOString(); 228 | updatedContext.metadata.change_history.unshift({ 229 | version: updatedContext.metadata.version, 230 | date: updatedContext.metadata.last_updated, 231 | changes: "Applied AI suggestions", 232 | updated_by: "Auto-update system" 233 | }); 234 | 235 | return updatedContext; 236 | } 237 | 238 | // Helper function to set a nested property using a dot path 239 | function setNestedProperty(obj, path, value) { 240 | const parts = path.split('.'); 241 | let current = obj; 242 | 243 | for (let i = 0; i < parts.length - 1; i++) { 244 | if (!current[parts[i]]) { 245 | current[parts[i]] = {}; 246 | } 247 | current = current[parts[i]]; 248 | } 249 | 250 | current[parts[parts.length - 1]] = value; 251 | } 252 | ``` 253 | 254 | ## Use Case Implementations 255 | 256 | ### Personal Productivity 257 | 258 | Context structure focused on task management and productivity: 259 | 260 | ```json 261 | { 262 | "basic_info": { 263 | "name": "Alex", 264 | "role": "Project Manager" 265 | }, 266 | "productivity": { 267 | "work_hours": "9:00-17:00", 268 | "focus_times": ["10:00-12:00", "15:00-16:30"], 269 | "energy_levels": { 270 | "morning": "high", 271 | "afternoon": "medium", 272 | "evening": "low" 273 | }, 274 | "current_priorities": [ 275 | "Complete project proposal", 276 | "Review team assignments", 277 | "Schedule client meeting" 278 | ] 279 | }, 280 | "projects": { 281 | "active": [ 282 | { 283 | "name": "Website Redesign", 284 | "deadline": "2025-04-15", 285 | "status": "in progress", 286 | "key_tasks": [ 287 | "Finalize wireframes", 288 | "Review content strategy", 289 | "Coordinate with development team" 290 | ] 291 | } 292 | ] 293 | }, 294 | "instruction": { 295 | "primary": "Help me manage my tasks and projects efficiently", 296 | "context_update": "Update current_priorities and project status when tasks are completed", 297 | "time_awareness": "Suggest task scheduling based on my focus times and energy levels" 298 | }, 299 | "metadata": { 300 | "version": "1.3", 301 | "last_updated": "2025-03-15" 302 | } 303 | } 304 | ``` 305 | 306 | ### Educational Use 307 | 308 | Context structure for learning and skill development: 309 | 310 | ```json 311 | { 312 | "basic_info": { 313 | "name": "Jamie", 314 | "learning_style": "visual", 315 | "available_study_time": "10 hours/week" 316 | }, 317 | "education": { 318 | "current_courses": [ 319 | { 320 | "subject": "Machine Learning", 321 | "progress": "60%", 322 | "strengths": ["Mathematical concepts", "Python coding"], 323 | "challenges": ["Neural network architecture", "Hyperparameter tuning"] 324 | }, 325 | { 326 | "subject": "UX Design", 327 | "progress": "35%", 328 | "strengths": ["User research", "Wireframing"], 329 | "challenges": ["Visual design principles", "Prototyping tools"] 330 | } 331 | ], 332 | "learning_goals": [ 333 | "Complete ML course by June 2025", 334 | "Build portfolio of 3 UX projects by August 2025" 335 | ], 336 | "completed_courses": [ 337 | { 338 | "subject": "Introduction to Python", 339 | "completion_date": "2025-01-15", 340 | "key_takeaways": ["Basic syntax", "Data structures", "File handling"] 341 | } 342 | ] 343 | }, 344 | "instruction": { 345 | "primary": "Help me learn efficiently and track my progress", 346 | "learning_guidance": "Provide explanations tailored to my visual learning style", 347 | "progress_tracking": "Update course progress when I complete new sections", 348 | "challenge_help": "Offer resources focused on my current challenges" 349 | }, 350 | "metadata": { 351 | "version": "2.2", 352 | "last_updated": "2025-03-14" 353 | } 354 | } 355 | ``` 356 | 357 | ### Healthcare Management 358 | 359 | Context structure for health tracking and management: 360 | 361 | ```json 362 | { 363 | "basic_info": { 364 | "name": "Sam", 365 | "age": 42, 366 | "primary_health_goals": ["Improve cardiovascular health", "Reduce stress"] 367 | }, 368 | "health": { 369 | "metrics": { 370 | "weight": {"value": 78.5, "unit": "kg", "date": "2025-03-15"}, 371 | "blood_pressure": {"value": "128/82", "date": "2025-03-14"}, 372 | "resting_heart_rate": {"value": 68, "unit": "bpm", "date": "2025-03-15"}, 373 | "sleep": {"average": 7.2, "unit": "hours", "period": "last 7 days"} 374 | }, 375 | "conditions": [ 376 | { 377 | "name": "Mild hypertension", 378 | "diagnosed": "2024-11", 379 | "management": ["Medication: Lisinopril 10mg", "Diet modifications", "Regular exercise"] 380 | } 381 | ], 382 | "medications": [ 383 | { 384 | "name": "Lisinopril", 385 | "dosage": "10mg", 386 | "frequency": "Daily, morning", 387 | "purpose": "Blood pressure management" 388 | } 389 | ], 390 | "activities": { 391 | "exercise": [ 392 | {"type": "Walking", "frequency": "Daily", "duration": "30 minutes"}, 393 | {"type": "Strength training", "frequency": "3x/week", "duration": "45 minutes"} 394 | ], 395 | "meditation": {"frequency": "5x/week", "duration": "15 minutes"} 396 | } 397 | }, 398 | "instruction": { 399 | "primary": "Help me track and improve my health", 400 | "privacy": "All health information is strictly private", 401 | "metric_updates": "Update metrics when I provide new measurements", 402 | "recommendations": "Provide evidence-based health recommendations aligned with my conditions" 403 | }, 404 | "metadata": { 405 | "version": "3.1", 406 | "last_updated": "2025-03-15" 407 | } 408 | } 409 | ``` 410 | 411 | ## Troubleshooting Common Issues 412 | 413 | ### AI Not Following Instructions 414 | 415 | **Problem**: AI ignores or only partially follows your instructions. 416 | 417 | **Solutions**: 418 | - Make instructions more explicit and specific 419 | - Break down complex instructions into simpler components 420 | - Place the instruction block at the beginning of your context 421 | - Test with different AI models to find one with better instruction following 422 | 423 | ### Context Too Large 424 | 425 | **Problem**: Your context is too large to transfer in one message. 426 | 427 | **Solutions**: 428 | - Prioritize essential information and remove less critical details 429 | - Split context into multiple files with clear references between them 430 | - Use compression techniques (removing whitespace, shortening keys) 431 | - For very large contexts, consider API integration instead of direct pasting 432 | 433 | ### Privacy Concerns 434 | 435 | **Problem**: Worry about sensitive information being stored or processed by AI. 436 | 437 | **Solutions**: 438 | - Use local storage options where possible 439 | - Anonymize sensitive data (use initials instead of full names, etc.) 440 | - Explicitly mark certain sections as private in your instructions 441 | - Omit highly sensitive information altogether 442 | 443 | ### Versioning Conflicts 444 | 445 | **Problem**: Different versions of your context exist across devices or team members. 446 | 447 | **Solutions**: 448 | - Implement a robust versioning system with timestamps 449 | - Use a central repository for the "source of truth" 450 | - Establish clear update protocols for team contexts 451 | - Consider a merge strategy for conflicting updates 452 | 453 | ## Best Practices 454 | 455 | 1. **Start simple, then expand** - Begin with a basic context and add complexity as needed 456 | 2. **Regular updates** - Schedule routine updates to keep your context current 457 | 3. **Clear instructions** - Make your instruction block as explicit as possible 458 | 4. **Balance detail and brevity** - Include enough detail to be useful without overwhelming 459 | 5. **Test with different prompts** - Verify your context works across a range of interactions 460 | 6. **Document your structure** - Keep notes on your context design for future reference 461 | 7. **Backup regularly** - Maintain backups of your context files 462 | 8. **Review privacy implications** - Regularly assess what data you're sharing with AI systems 463 | 464 | ## Future Directions 465 | 466 | As you become comfortable with basic implementation, consider exploring: 467 | 468 | 1. **Context integration with other systems** - Connect your personal context to calendar, task management, or health tracking apps 469 | 2. **Automated updates** - Develop scripts to automatically update your context based on external data sources 470 | 3. **Specialized contexts** - Create different contexts for various aspects of your life or work 471 | 4. **Team knowledge management** - Expand to collaborative contexts for teams or organizations 472 | 5. **Multi-modal contexts** - Incorporate images, audio, or other data types 473 | 474 | By following this implementation guide, you can effectively leverage personal context technology to dramatically improve your AI interactions, making them more efficient, personalized, and valuable. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /use-cases/corporate.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # Corporate Implementation of Personal Context Technology 2 | 3 | This guide outlines how enterprises can implement personal context technology to enhance productivity, preserve institutional knowledge, and improve collaboration while maintaining security and compliance. 4 | 5 | ##

The key to success is: 572 | 573 | 1. **Regular Updates**: Keep it current and relevant 574 | 2. **Active Engagement**: Use AI as a tool, not a crutch 575 | 3. **Reflection**: Learn about your learning 576 | 4. **Adaptation**: Adjust based on what works for you 577 | 578 | Remember: The goal is not just to learn content, but to become a better learner. Your context file is both a tool for AI interaction and a mirror for your cognitive development. 579 | 580 | **Final Tip**: Every month, ask yourself: "Am I a more capable independent learner than I was last month?" If the answer is yes, you're using the system correctly. If no, review your delegation rules and increase independent practice. 581 | 582 | Happy learning! 🎓 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
