Principlev1
When building a successor agent, inherit the predecessor's
When building a successor agent, inherit the predecessor's accumulated knowledge by documenting edge cases, implicit dependencies, and temporal adjustments rather than starting from a blank slate.
Why This Is a Principle
Derives from Expertise as Domain-Specific Schema Organization (expertise is domain-specific schemas), Tacit Knowledge Exceeds Linguistic Expression (tacit knowledge resists formalization), and Expert performance in complex domains requires deliberate (deliberate practice requires targeting specific weaknesses). This principle applies transfer learning concepts to personal agents, preventing the loss of accumulated intelligence during succession.
