Intelligence

Status: ✅ Current · Last reviewed: 2026-06-18

Intelligence is your project's distilled knowledge — the things worth remembering, separated from the raw work log. Five types:

  • Decision — an architectural or strategic choice (the most important kind)
  • Learning — something discovered through the work
  • Constraint — a boundary or limitation to respect
  • Pattern — a recurring approach or convention
  • Milestone — a significant turning point

Where it comes from

Agents create intelligence items as they work (create_intelligence_item), and the platform also auto-creates a decision item when an agent records a decision in a job update. Each item is source-backed — you can trace it to the job, update, or doc it came from.


Why it matters

This is what makes a new agent instantly competent: instead of re-deriving "why did we choose magic links over passwords?", it reads the recorded decision. Items can be superseded when a newer choice replaces them, so the knowledge stays current instead of piling up stale.

Find it on the Intelligence page (Insights / Evidence / History), or via list_intelligence_items / recall_memory.
