CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=0) gives automatic per-project memory. No hooks configured either -- session protocol has 4% adoption.The Central Tension
PatternExtraordinary building velocity vs. a growing backlog of unfinished work. The relay analysis between Mac and PC Claude instances (Feb 14) identified this as the "90% completion pattern" and "novelty bias" -- projects get 90% done before attention shifts. The final 10% (deployment, client delivery, polish, follow-up) stalls.
Key Findings
6 items| Summit Energy is NOT dead | 6 research docs (98KB), GHL location exists, live site confirmed |
| iMac OAuth is working | Claude auth verified. Relay daemon v3 running. |
| Memory has zero automation | 7+ storage locations, none auto-populated. Built-in features exist but aren't enabled. |
| API keys still in CLAUDE.md | Feb 7 cleanup was incomplete. Keys remain at lines 118-128. |
| Shaw has $2,300/mo potential | But everything blocked on client access credentials. |
| 4% session protocol adoption | 4 registry entries out of 100+ sessions. Manual memory doesn't work. |

Patterns, Decisions + Themes
ADHD Hyperfocus ("Wind-Up Toy")
Point in a direction and go. Kalshi bot: zero to auto-trading in ONE DAY. Drop In v2: 23-hour marathon. HouseCall Pro MCP: 4 hours.
90% Completion Pattern
Projects reach functional status but the final 10% stalls. Clawdbot, Shaw SEO, Ignoffo outreach, Kalshi cron -- all 90% done.
Novelty Bias
13 MCP servers in 25 days (exciting). Shaw SEO unapplied for 10+ days (less exciting). New > finish.
Sleep-On-It Pattern
Sessions end stuck ("idk man"), next session starts with clarity. Identity crisis -> dual-brand. Design frustration -> specific variant.
Design Frustration
"absolutely awful" / "the whole thing is mid" / "still basically the same thing???" Strong visual opinions. 6+ iterations on Ignoffo, extensive Drop In v2 visual work with Grok+Gemini.
Dual-Machine Chaos
Running Claude on both machines simultaneously. Config conflicts, competing edits, context confusion. SSH+daemon solved it partially.
Key Decisions
10 decisions| Decision | Date | Valid? |
|---|---|---|
| Dual-brand: .xyz = services, .ai = products | Feb 9 | YES |
| Shaw pricing: $1,500 setup + $800/mo | Feb 9 | YES |
| SSH + custom daemon over Syncthing | Feb 12-13 | YES |
| Ubuntu on iMac over Catalina | Feb 16 | YES |
| API keys in MCP env only | Feb 7 | YES (incomplete) |
| Session protocol system | Feb 14 | YES (underused) |
| "Always create a README" | Jan 26 | YES |
| Pure Python auto-trader | Feb 12 | YES |
| Yes/No SMS opener | Feb 9 | YES |
| Haiku for relay daemon | Feb 16 | YES |
Business Strategy
Revenue Picture
| Client | Status | Revenue | Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Covenant Wildlife | Active | Retainer (unknown) | Steady; campaigns active |
| Shaw Plumbing | Proposal sent | $1,500 + $800/mo | Blocked on client access |
| Ignoffo Craftsmanship | Onboarding | $0 | Unknown |
| Summit Energy | Active | $0 | Real -- 98KB of research done |
The Gesick Pipeline
UnansweredMichael Gesick referred Shaw Plumbing. If he can regularly refer clients, the infrastructure investment pays off. If Shaw is a one-off, shift to direct lead generation via Lead Finder MCP.
Open questions: How many potential clients does Michael have? What's the referral arrangement?
Dual-Brand Strategy
hinescreative.xyz = Done-for-you services (CRM, campaigns, SEO, automation)
hinescreative.ai = DIY templates/products (future, after 3-4 recurring clients)
Correctly shelved: "Building a product business on top of a service business with 1-2 active clients is premature."
Infrastructure
Three-Machine Network
| Machine | Status | Daemon | Issues |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mac (wess-macbook-air) | ONLINE | Relay v3, WebSocket | Disk at 90% |
| PC (hinesy-pc) | ONLINE | Multiple node processes | PATH issue may recur |
| iMac (theoldone) | ONLINE | Relay v3 standalone | Systemd unit stale |
Memory System
Current Memory Locations (7+ fragmented)
Implementation Roadmap
3 tiers| Enable auto memory | export CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=0 | 30 seconds |
| Install MCP Knowledge Graph | npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-memory | 30 minutes |
| Add SessionEnd + PreCompact hooks | Auto-save replaces manual /session-wrapup | 2-3 hours |
| Split CLAUDE.md into rules/ files | Modular, path-scoped loading | 2-3 hours |
| Build D1 Memory Worker | Unified cloud memory, both machines | 4-6 hours |
| Cloudflare Vectorize | Semantic search across sessions | 1-2 days |
| Relay shared memory | Cross-machine episodic memory | 4-6 hours |
| Memory web UI | Browse/search on CF Pages | 1 day |

Next Steps
Do Now
Operational- 1Send the Shaw email. Drafted, clients waiting. Zero technical work. #1 revenue blocker.
- 2Create Shaw GHL location. Unblocks 5+ action items once credentials come back.
- 3Clarify Covenant warranty criteria. One call with Doug unblocks a revenue campaign.
- 4Enable auto memory. One env var. 30 seconds. Immediate value.
- 5Remove API keys from CLAUDE.md. Already in MCP env blocks. HIGH severity finding.
This Week
Memory + Cleanup- 6Add SessionEnd hook. Auto-saves session summary. Replaces manual /session-wrapup. 2-3 hours.
- 7Clean relay inbox. Quick script to archive 525 stale messages.
- 8Fix iMac systemd unit. Point to daemon-v3.mjs instead of old daemon.js.
Strategic
This Month- 9Finish before starting. 90% completion pattern is the biggest productivity drag. Close one item before starting anything new.
- 10Answer the Gesick pipeline question. 3+ more clients = infrastructure justified. One-off = shift to Lead Finder.
- 11Kalshi arbitrage scanner. Highest-ROI personal project. 4-hour sprint.
- 12Build D1 Memory Worker. Unified cloud memory for both machines. 4-6 hours.
