 "title": "Trace which strategy edits Phil kept or reverted",
 "page_title": "How to trace which strategy edits Phil kept or reverted with Phil",
 "summary": "Read the strategy commit history and daily retros to see what the agent learned and reverted.",
 "who": "A researcher studying agent self-improvement who needs concrete examples of edits, reverts, and lessons.",
 "problem": "Claims about agent learning are hard to check without seeing each change the agent made and why.",
 "outcome": "A list of strategy edits with the retro reasoning for keeping, sharpening, or reverting each one.",
 "steps": [
  "`git clone https://github.com/bennyjo/phil.git`",
  "`cd phil`",
  "`git log --oneline -- strategy/` to list strategy commits. (inferred, check the README)",
  "Open `journal/retros/` and find the daily deep-retro entries that audit those edits.",
  "Compare each kept or reverted edit with the settled bets it cites."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Clone https://github.com/bennyjo/phil, list commits that touch strategy/, and match each to a retro in journal/retros/. Output a table of edit, decision (keep, sharpen, or revert), and the evidence cited. Verify that every row cites a retro file that exists.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "30 minutes",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The README says the git log is the record of lessons, but a single edit's effect on results is hard to isolate from the other changes made in the same period.",
