They create a framework for solving problems in a consistent manner while enabling continuous improvement through analysis and adaptation. Procedures are a guideline, if they don't work the agent can adapt to the situation. ## Core Concepts A procedure is a flowchart-style guide that an agent can follow to complete a task. Each procedure is stored in its own directory and contains files that separate different concerns: - **Discovery**: Quick identification of relevant procedures - **Execution**: Clear steps and dependencies - **Analysis**: Understanding of effectiveness and issues - **Evolution**: Natural path to optimization and training ## Directory Structure ``` procedures/ └── example_procedure/ ├── description.md # Quick discovery info ├── procedure.md # Main procedure flow ├── reasoning.md # Analysis and rationale ├── history/ # Usage records │ └── 20250106_131420_405/ │ ├── iteration_20250106_131423_051.xml │ └── iteration_20250106_131424_226.xml └── training/ # Optional training data ├── short_description_of_goal │ ├── iteration_20250106_131423_051.xml │ └── iteration_20250106_131424_226.xml └── another_goal └── ... ``` ### File Purposes #### description.md Contains a short description and keywords that help agents find relevant procedures. This file should be quick to read and clearly indicate the procedure's purpose and applicability. ```markdown Send an email using the users email account. - communication - gmail ``` #### procedure.md The main file loaded when executing the procedure. Contains: - Mermaid diagram showing the procedure flow - Referenced procedures - Prerequisites for execution ````markdown # Sending an Email ## Referenced Procedures - web usage (ITB) - managing user information ## Prerequisites - If the email requires attachements, these should be available as files in the SIA filesystem ## Flow ```mermaid ... ``` ```` #### reasoning.md Documents why the procedure works the way it does. Contains: - Design rationale - History of uses and outcomes - Notes about successful and failed executions - Analysis of issues and improvements New analysis is appended after each use of the procedure. #### history/ Contains timestamped directories for each use of the procedure. The timestamp comes from the ID of the script that loads the procedure.md file. ## Usage Flow ### Discovery When an agent needs to complete a task: 1. Search through description.md files 2. Match keywords to task requirements 3. Identify relevant procedures ### Execution Once a procedure is selected: 1. Load procedure.md for execution 2. Follow the flowchart 3. Copy iterations to new history subdirectory 4. Analyze execution success and issues 5. Append findings to reasoning.md ### Optimization During idle time: 1. Review procedure usage patterns 2. Identify improvement opportunities 3.

First, when I ran 'ls' on that directory, I saw several subdirectories like self_improvement and user_communication. The README.md explains that each procedure has a directory with description, procedure, reasoning, and history files. The structure is clear: descriptions help find the right procedure, procedure.md has the steps, reasoning.md explains the rationale, and history tracks usage. The user wants me to follow these procedures. Since the first message was about communication, maybe I should look into the user_communication procedure. But the user also mentioned modifying the SIA core code in /root/sia, so maybe the self_improvement procedure is relevant too.
