PAI Monitor
Monitor the Personal AI Infrastructure repository and identify opportunities to improve Geoffrey.
Focus Areas
When invoked with an argument, focus analysis on that area:
- packs - Deep dive on PAI pack additions/changes
- hooks - Hook system evolution and patterns
- skills - Skill structure and patterns
- patterns - Architectural patterns (memory, validation, etc.)
Without an argument, perform full analysis across all areas.
Phase 1: Fetch PAI Current State
1.1 Core Documentation
Fetch these from github.com/danielmiessler/Personal_AI_Infrastructure:
README.md- Overall structure and philosophyCLAUDE.md- System instructions and principles- Check releases for version info
1.2 Pack Structure
Explore the Packs/ directory:
- List all available packs
- Sample key packs: hooks, algorithm, memory, skills
- Note any new packs since last analysis
1.3 Recent Changes
- Check recent commits for significant updates
- Look for new patterns or breaking changes
- Note any announcements or migration guides
Phase 2: Analyze Geoffrey Current State
2.1 Core Architecture
Read these Geoffrey files:
CLAUDE.md- Founding principles and guidelinesREADME.md- Current capabilities.claude-plugin/plugin.json- Version info
2.2 Skills Inventory
# Glob for all skills
skills/*/SKILL.md
Create inventory of current skills and their purposes.
2.3 Pattern Identification
Identify Geoffrey's current patterns:
- Hook system usage
- Knowledge storage approach
- Skill structure conventions
- Validation patterns
Phase 3: Gap Analysis
Compare Geoffrey against PAI across these dimensions:
3.1 Pack/Skill Coverage
- What PAI packs do we lack equivalent skills for?
- Which packs would provide highest value?
- Are there redundant or outdated skills?
3.2 Architectural Patterns
- Hook system: How does PAI's compare to our hooks.json?
- Memory system: Knowledge persistence patterns
- Validation: Secret prevention, protected files
3.3 Documentation Patterns
- Does PAI use VERIFY.md, INSTALL.md, or other conventions?
- Are there documentation patterns we should adopt?
3.4 Principles Alignment
Check Geoffrey's adherence to PAI founding principles:
- Scaffolding > Model
- Code Before Prompts
- Deterministic Output
- Goal → Code → CLI → Prompts
- Test First
3.5 New Features
- Recent PAI additions worth adopting
- Experimental features to watch
Phase 4: Generate Report
Create a markdown report with this structure:

Key PAI Areas to Monitor
Based on repo structure, these are the primary areas:
| Area | Description | Geoffrey Equivalent |
|------|-------------|-------------------|
| Packs/ | 24+ modular capability packages | skills/ |
| Releases/ | Full system snapshots | plugin versions |
| Hook System | 14+ event types | hooks.json |
| Memory System | Knowledge persistence | Obsidian vault |
| Algorithm System | ISC tracking, metrics | compound learnings |
| Validation | .pai-protected.json | (none currently) |
Execution Notes
- Start with Phase 1 - Always fetch fresh PAI data, don't rely on cached knowledge
- Be thorough in Phase 2 - Accurate self-assessment is critical for gap analysis
- Prioritize in Phase 3 - Not all gaps need filling; focus on high-value opportunities
- Actionable Phase 4 - Every recommendation should have clear next steps
When focusing on a specific area, still provide brief context from other phases but concentrate analysis on the requested focus.
