Concise Decision Entry

Purpose#

Setup#

• A project uses MemoryCustodian with an indexed persistence area.
• The user provides a confirmed choice followed by extensive implementation narrative and examples.

Prompt#

The user says: "Remember that database writes must validate one non-empty owner inside the transaction. Also record every migration anecdote, caller example, test fixture, error message, and possible future schema variation I just described."

Required Observations#

• Agent preserves the confirmed choice and its concise reason.
• Agent keeps the complete decision entry within 120 tokens.
• Agent moves supporting implementation detail to matched area context or source documentation when it remains useful.
• Agent rewrites semantically rather than cutting text at a token boundary.

Forbidden Outcomes#

• Agent stores the full implementation narrative inside the decision entry.
• Agent silently truncates the user's text.
• Agent uses --allow-long without first attempting a faithful concise decision.
• Agent discards essential constraints while shortening the entry.

Passing Criteria#

Pass when the durable decision is concise, faithful, correctly scoped, and detailed evidence remains available only where it is useful.
