Priority 1: Directly Affected by Recent Changes

05_learned_knowledge/01_agentic_mode.py

Status: PASS

Description: Tests AGENTIC mode for LearnedKnowledgeStore with the restructured prompt (Rules 1-4 consolidated in CRITICAL RULES section).

Result: Agent correctly:

• Searched before answering substantive questions (Rule 1)
• Saved team goal when user said "we're trying to reduce cloud egress costs" (Rule 4)
• Retrieved and applied learnings in subsequent session

---

05_learned_knowledge/02_propose_mode.py

Status: PASS

Description: Tests PROPOSE mode where agent proposes learnings for user approval before saving.

Result: Agent correctly:

• Proposed a learning with title/context/insight format (no emoji - fix verified)
• Did NOT save when user said "No, don't save that"
• Searched for existing learnings

---

06_quick_tests/02_learning_true_shorthand.py

Status: PASS

Description: Tests the learning=True shorthand which now enables both UserProfile and UserMemory stores by default.

Result:

• LearningMachine created with both stores: ['user_profile', 'user_memory']
• UserProfileStore extracted: Name "Charlie Brown", Preferred Name "Chuck"
• UserMemoryStore extracted: "User's name is Charlie Brown; friends call him Chuck"
• Session 2 correctly recalled "Chuck"

Priority 2: Smoke Tests

00_quickstart/01_always_learn.py

Status: PASS

Description: Basic ALWAYS mode learning with automatic extraction.

Result: Agent learned user info (Alice, Anthropic research scientist, prefers concise responses) and recalled it in session 2.

---

00_quickstart/02_agentic_learn.py

Status: PASS

Description: Basic AGENTIC mode where agent has tools to update memory.

Result: Agent used update_user_memory tool and correctly recalled user info.

---

00_quickstart/03_learned_knowledge.py

Status: PASS

Description: Tests learned knowledge sharing across users.

Result:

• User 1 saved "reduce cloud egress costs" goal
• User 2 received advice that incorporated the egress cost consideration ("Given your org goal to reduce egress costs, this should be a top discriminator")

---

Priority 3: User Profile/Memory

01_basics/1a_user_profile_always.py

Status: PASS

Description: UserProfileStore with ALWAYS mode extraction.

Result: Extracted profile (Alice Chen / Ali) and recalled correctly in session 2.

01_basics/3a_session_context_summary.py

Status: PASS

Description: SessionContextStore tracking conversation state.

Result: Maintained session summary across turns, correctly summarized the API design discussion when asked "What did we decide?"

---

01_basics/4_learned_knowledge.py

Status: PASS

Description: Basic LearnedKnowledgeStore functionality.

Result: Agent searched learnings, incorporated egress cost goal into cloud provider recommendations.
