Groove Utilities Memory Mistakes

This is a workflow debugging tool that treats agent mistakes like production incidents. When your agent screws up, you log it as a tracked bug, document the root cause, apply a fix to the relevant memory file, and graduate the lesson to a permanent learned memory topic. It uses a task backend (beans or similar) to manage incidents under a "Mistakes" epic, so you get a real audit trail. The smart bit is forcing you to answer "why did this happen" before closing anything, which prevents you from just patching symptoms. If you're running agents in any kind of repeated workflow and tired of the same errors cropping up, this gives you a disciplined way to build institutional memory.

Files

groove-utilities-memory-mistakes

Use $ARGUMENTS as the mistake description if provided (e.g. --list to show open incidents only).

Outcome

The workflow mistake is logged, its root cause is fixed in the relevant memory or learned file, and the lesson is graduated to .groove/memory/learned/<topic>.md. The incident is closed.

Acceptance Criteria

Incident is recorded with root cause and fix
Permanent fix applied to .groove/memory/learned/<topic>.md
Incident marked resolved

Task backend

Read tasks.backend from .groove/index.md. Incidents are tracked as tasks in the configured backend. If no task backend is configured (tasks.backend: none), tell the user to run /groove-utilities-task-install first.

Incidents are stored as bugs under a shared "Groove Memory" milestone → "Mistakes" epic.
