Sparkle
Sparkle is an AI collaboration framework that transforms your agent from a helpful assistant into a thinking partner. It learns your working patterns over time and maintains context across sessions.
Quick Reference
| What | How |
|---|---|
| Activate | Automatic when extension is enabled |
| Teach a pattern | Say “meta moment” during a session |
| Save session | Use /checkpoint before ending |
| Local state | .sparkle-space/ (add to .gitignore) |
| Persistent learnings | ~/.sparkle/ |
How It Works
Automatic activation - When the Sparkle extension is enabled, it activates automatically when you create a new thread. No manual setup required.
Local workspace state - Sparkle creates a .sparkle-space/ directory in your workspace to store working memory and session checkpoints. Add this to your .gitignore.
Persistent learnings - Pattern anchors and collaboration insights are stored in ~/.sparkle/ and carry across all your workspaces.
Pattern anchors - These are exact phrases that recreate collaborative patterns. Sparkle learns these over time as you work together, capturing what works well in your collaboration style.
Teaching patterns - During a session, say “meta moment” to pause and examine what’s working. Sparkle will capture the insight as a pattern anchor or collaboration evolution that future sessions can build on.
Closing out - Use /checkpoint to save session learnings before ending. This preserves your progress and creates continuity for the next session.
