Sloth-ninja makes JessicaOSS easier to pick up where it left off

This fork is building a memory system for agent-assisted legal-AI work, so settled lessons do not disappear between sessions.

Rather than adding product features, Sloth-ninja has tightened the project's operating record. The aim is simple: make it easier for future contributors to understand what is current, what has already been tried, and which past mistakes should not be repeated.

  • A permanent lessons record links each lesson to its trigger, rule and debugging clue.
  • Startup guidance now directs readers to the right record instead of becoming an ever-longer manual.
  • Conflicting status documents have a clear order of authority.
  • Completed work now includes capturing durable lessons, while disposable session notes stay out of the shared history.

The team also brought its official build record into line with earlier merged work and documented which sister-project practices it chose not to adopt.

So what Teams using AI assistance on complex legal products should care because continuity and institutional memory are becoming operational safeguards.
