Decision: Error on side of recording too much
P3 - LowDecision Second Brain
Changed from conservative to aggressive memory saving. Save too much, not too little. Cost of forgetting > cost of saving.
## Context After setting up Second Brain, Bob failed to save email auth work during the conversation. Henry called this out. ## Decision **Save too much, not too little.** The cost of saving is cheap. The cost of forgetting is expensive. ## Updated Rules - Save every 10-15 minutes during significant work - Save before switching topics - Save when something works (document what you did) - Save when you learn anything - Only skip: literal HEARTBEAT_OK with no action, pure small talk ## Why - Embeddings cost pennies - Lost context costs hours of repeated work - Better to have too much searchable memory than gaps ## Action Updated BRAIN.md with more aggressive save triggers.
