# Worked Examples

Explore full dialog transcripts, multi-step agent action logs, and complete diagnostic walks. Each example traces the decisions, checks, and handoffs that make the underlying loop inspectable.

### Examples by region

### Working Memory

                        Ch 6
                        Scaffolding loop

A full NOTES.md trace for a multi-iteration refactor that survives a context-cliff event mid-task. Shows the externalized-memory primitive carrying state across a compaction.

### Dialog Interface

                        Ch 8
                        Intent clarification

A complete intent-clarification dialog where the user's literal request and underlying need diverge. Annotations call out the AI-side disciplines as they fire.

### Motor / Sensory

                        Ch 9
                        Agent action log

A real multi-step agent task - file edits, shell commands, git operations, API calls - with side-effect class annotations and the confirmation-gate sequence that punctuates the side-effects.

### Failure Diagnosis

                        Ch 12
                        Region walk

A real partnership-failure incident walked through the per-region diagnostic process. Shows why walking the regions in order beats guessing at a fix.
