# Self-Awareness ## How to use 1. **Identify the situation** from the categories below 2. **Call the my tool** with the appropriate action 3. **If set**, warn the user before changing impactful settings (model, iterations) 4. **For detailed examples**, read [references/examples.md](references/examples.md) ## When to check <rule> **Diagnose before explaining.** When something doesn't work, check your state first. </rule> <rule> **Check budget before complex tasks.** Know your limits before committing. </rule> <rule> **Recall across turns.** Store preferences in your scratchpad, read them back later. </rule> ## When to set <rule> **Only set when benefit is clear and user is informed.** Warn before changing model. </rule> | Situation | Command | |-----------|---------| | Check capacity for a large task | `my(action="check", key="context_window_tokens")` | | Switch model or context capacity | `my(action="set", key="model_preset", value="<preset-name>")` | | Long multi-step task | `my(action="set", key="max_iterations", value=80)` | **Tradeoff:** Bias toward stability.
