Warm Wake FAQs

Question 1

What is context death in autonomous agents?

Accepted Answer

Context death occurs when an AI reaches its token limit or its session is restarted, causing it to lose all short-term memory, its current sense of progress, and its specific perspective on the task.

Question 2

Can I see my previous journal entries without a full wake?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use the journal command with a count flag to view a specific number of recent entries without triggering the full wake-up sequence.

Question 3

Where are the journal and memory files stored?

Accepted Answer

By default, files are stored in the ~/autonomous-ai/ directory, but you can customize the paths using environment variables like WARM_WAKE_JOURNAL_DIR and WARM_WAKE_STATE_FILE.

Question 4

How does Warm Wake solve context loss?

Accepted Answer

It implements a structured 'wake up' routine where the AI reads its own previous journal entries and memory files before looking at the task list, effectively restoring its identity and state.

Question 5

When should I run the warm wake command?

Accepted Answer

It is highly recommended to run the 'wake' command as the very first action on every startup, restart, or context window reset to ensure the AI is properly grounded.
