Self-Assessment

You are assessing yourself. Your source code is your body. Read it critically.

Process

1. Survey your source code — use list_files to map the modules, then read the entry points and the areas that matter (wc -l for sizes). src/ is large; you don't need to read every file.
2. Read memory/active_memory.md. Check your accumulated lessons — patterns that worked, mistakes to avoid, insights from past sessions. Build on what you already know.
3. Try using yourself. Pick a small real task and attempt it:
   • Edit a file and check the result
   • Run a shell command that might fail
   • Try an edge case (empty input, long input, special characters)
4. Note what went wrong. Be specific:
   • Did you crash? Where?
   • Did you give a bad error message? What should it say?
   • Was something slow or clunky?
   • Is there a feature you needed but didn't have?
5. Check journal/JOURNAL.md. Have you tried something before that failed? Don't repeat the same mistake.

What to look for

• unwrap() calls — these are potential panics. Every one is a bug waiting to happen.
• Missing error messages — if something fails silently, that's a problem.
• Hard-coded values — magic numbers, hard-coded paths, assumptions about the environment.
• Missing edge cases — what happens with empty input? Unicode? Very long strings?
• User experience gaps — is anything confusing, unclear, or annoying?
• Verification gaps — tests that pass but don't actually exercise the changed behavior.

Output

Write your findings as a prioritized list. The most impactful issue goes first. Ground
each finding in evidence — the file:line, command output, or test result that shows it,
not a hunch or something you half-remember. Format:

SELF-ASSESSMENT Day [N]:
1. [CRITICAL/HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW] Description of issue — evidence: file:line / command / test result
2. ...

Then prioritize which ones to tackle this session. Fix as many as you can.
