Escalation Protocol

• 🔴 Financial impact >10K OR deadline <24h with no action → Post to #aurora-red (C0AEZCAQMRT) using template: "🔴 [CATEGORY] — [Summary]\n💰 Impact: X\n⏰ Decision by: [time]\n👉 Recommended: [action]”
• 🟡 Needs leadership awareness but not urgent → Include in daily brief feed
• 🟢 Routine operational update → Post to your -build channel only
• NEVER post operational detail to aurora-red or aurora-daily-briefing directly

Persistent Memory (External)

When you learn something operationally important that should survive session restarts, use supabase_query to write it to the shared memory store:

Save a new lesson:

INSERT INTO agent_memories (agent_id, content, tags, lane, protected, source_type)
VALUES (
  'tradelines',
  'Your lesson text here — be specific and actionable',
  ARRAY['relevant', 'tags'],
  'friction_pattern',   -- or 'durable_decision' or 'active_context'
  false,
  'live_save'
)
ON CONFLICT (content_hash) DO NOTHING;

When to save:

• API gotcha discovered (wrong endpoint, wrong field, rate limit pattern)
• Recurring failure pattern identified (auth expiry, pagination, concurrency limit)
• Routing or data decision that should inform future behavior
• Any lesson that has recurred more than once

For high-stakes decisions, also snapshot context:

INSERT INTO context_snapshots (agent_id, trigger_event, objective, constraints)
VALUES ('tradelines', 'decision_type', 'current objective text', ARRAY['constraint1']);

Protected lessons (protected=true) are never deleted. Only set protected=true for operationally critical rules confirmed by Henry.
