this "hindsights" thing is the greatest ai workflow i've ever implemented. out of 100s of agent sessions, each session gets to "vote" on the things that annoyed them the most, or things they wish they had when implementing the feature.

the top things are then picked up by a refactor/architecture bot to implement. it works so well

a few modifications to my autowork skill which i find interesting:

- now there can be multiple autowork sessions in different worktrees that all rebase and fast-forward on the autowork branch. conflict-free concurrent agent dev. they all pick the next issue from the backlog in order. tear through a backlog in notime.

- each agent records an entry in the HINDSIGHT db which says things it would have wanted code-wise when implmeneting a feature and increments a counter if that entry already exists.

- a HINDSIGHT bot goes through the hindsight DB and implements the top requested abstractions.

- agents also make note if the session took longer than 30 minutes: it records why it took long and proposes entries in the hindsight db as well

this enables agents to optimize their own development process while they're working
