How does your agent "dream"?
Anthropic's "dreaming" is a feedback loop: between sessions, the agent rereads what happened, fixes notes that drifted, and archives what expired.
My instructions file had grown to 441 lines, with three contest deadlines in it that had already passed. Now a pass runs at 3am to catch everything I usually miss.
Not everything needs a nightly pass. Match the schedule to how fast the context changes. Your wallet and token budget will thank you for it.
What are your feedback loops?

Expired deadlines in an instructions file are a useful example of context drift. In healthcare workflows, I would keep clinical rules separate from agent-maintained notes and require a named reviewer before changing them. How do you decide which notes the nightly pass can edit without approval?

Good idea to clear out expired notes.
