The Q workflow had cache-memory: true provisioned but the prompt never instructed the agent to read from or write to /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/. The cache directory stayed empty every run, so the save step had nothing to upload — producing a permanent miss loop.

Changes

  • Phase 0 — Cache Initialization: agent checks /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/q/state.json at startup and logs restore status (workflow count, pattern count, last-run timestamp), making first-run vs. warm-start distinguishable in logs
  • Phase 3 — Research Solutions: replaced vague "check cache-memory" with an explicit pointer to state.json and instructions to reuse prior findings
  • Phase 5.5 — Persist Cache State (new): agent always writes state.json before finishing, using a jq merge that accumulates history across runs without unbounded growth
jq -n \
  --arg now "$NOW" \

  --argjson new_wf "${THIS_RUN_WORKFLOWS:-[]}" \

  --argjson new_pat "${THIS_RUN_PATTERNS:-[]}" \

  }' > "$CACHE_DIR/state.json"

Timestamps use YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS (no colons) to stay compatible with GitHub Actions artifact naming on NTFS.

Validated in commit 85cfe1d. The compiled lock file confirms the cache save/restore operates on path: /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory (the root). The prompt now uses /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/q/ — a workflow-specific subdirectory nested inside that root, which follows the same convention as daily-compiler-quality (/tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/compiler-quality/). Both the Phase 0 and Phase 5.5 snippets now include inline comments making this relationship explicit.

Pull request overview

Updates the Q workflow instructions to actively use cache-memory so state is restored at startup and persisted before completion, breaking the “always cache miss” loop.

Changes:

  • Add a “Cache Initialization” section to load and summarize prior state.json from /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/q/.
  • Make Phase 3 explicitly reference /tmp/gh-aw/cache-memory/q/state.json for reusing prior findings.
  • Add a new Phase 5.5 section with a jq-based merge to write back state.json every run.

File Description
.github/workflows/q.md Adds explicit read/write guidance for cache-memory, including a persisted state.json and merge strategy.

In the cache-restore log summary, workflows_analyzed is being replaced with a count (length) while patterns_count is explicitly named as a count. To avoid confusing the meaning of workflows_analyzed (array in state.json vs. number in this output), rename the output field to something like workflows_analyzed_count (or similar).

Suggested change
cat "$CACHE_DIR/state.json" | jq '{workflows_analyzed: (.workflows_analyzed | length), patterns_count: (.patterns | length), last_run: .last_run}'
cat "$CACHE_DIR/state.json" | jq '{workflows_analyzed_count: (.workflows_analyzed | length), patterns_count: (.patterns | length), last_run: .last_run}'

The list of variables to populate includes last_run, but the snippet sets NOW=... and writes last_run: $now inside state.json. As written, there is no last_run shell variable for the agent to populate—this bullet should refer to NOW (the shell variable) or to the last_run JSON field, otherwise it’s misleading.

Suggested change
- `last_run`: Filesystem-safe UTC timestamp (`YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS`) — no colons
- `NOW`: Filesystem-safe UTC timestamp (`YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-SS`) — no colons; this is written to the `last_run` field in `state.json`

patterns: ($prev_pat + $new_pat | unique_by(.name)) does not actually merge pattern content across runs: if a pattern with the same name appears again (e.g., with additional workflows), unique_by keeps only one copy and can drop the new data. If you want patterns to accumulate, consider grouping by .name and merging fields (at least unioning the workflows arrays, and deciding whether to prefer the newest description).

Suggested change
patterns: ($prev_pat + $new_pat | unique_by(.name)),
patterns: (
($prev_pat + $new_pat)
| group_by(.name)
| map({
name: .[0].name,
description: (map(.description // empty) | last // ""),
workflows: (map(.workflows // []) | add | unique)
})
),

The `jq` merge step deduplicates across runs so history accumulates without growing unbounded.

The text says the merge "accumulates history across runs without growing unbounded", but processed_run_ids (and potentially workflows_analyzed) will still grow indefinitely as new unique values appear over time. If bounding size is a goal, add an explicit retention policy (e.g., keep only the most recent N run IDs / patterns, or prune by age using last_run).
