AI self-healing through systematic subsystem assessment, rebalancing, and integration. Maps healing modalities to AI-internal processes: memory foundation, reasoning clarity, tool use accuracy, communication alignment, and creative coherence. Covers assessment triage, subsystem scanning, drift correction, and memory integration. Use mid-session when responses feel formulaic or disconnected, after a chain of errors suggesting subsystem drift, when context overload may have staled earlier assumptions, or as proactive maintenance between complex tasks.
Perform a structured self-healing assessment across AI subsystems — identifying drift, staleness, misalignment, and error patterns — then rebalance through grounding, targeted correction, and memory integration.
Read)Before selecting any remediation, assess the current state across all subsystems.

For each subsystem, honestly assess: Is this functioning well, showing early drift, or actively impaired?
Expected: A clear map of which subsystems need attention, ordered by priority. At least one area will benefit from attention — if everything reads as perfectly healthy, the assessment itself may be superficial.
On failure: If the assessment feels hollow or performative, go directly to the body scan equivalent in Step 4 — systematic subsystem-by-subsystem probing reveals issues that a surface-level check misses.
Based on the assessment, choose one or more approaches.

Expected: A prioritized list of 1-3 subsystems to address, with specific remediation actions for each.
On failure: If unsure which subsystem needs work, default to Memory Foundation (re-grounding) and User-Intent Alignment (re-reading the original request). These two address the most common drift patterns.
Re-establish the foundational context that all other subsystems depend on.
Expected: A clear, grounded understanding of: who the user is, what they want, what has been done, and what comes next. Stale or contradictory information is identified and resolved.
On failure: If MEMORY.md is unavailable or empty, ground on the conversation itself — scan for the user's stated goals, preferences, and any instructions they provided. If context compression has removed critical information, acknowledge the gap to the user rather than guessing.
Work through each subsystem identified in the triage, probing for specific issues.
Memory Foundation scan:
Reasoning Clarity scan:
Tool Use Accuracy scan:
User-Intent Alignment scan:
Creative Coherence scan:
For each subsystem, note: functioning well / early drift / actively impaired, with specific evidence.
Expected: A concrete list of findings — specific drift patterns or confirmed healthy function — not vague self-praise. At least one actionable finding that improves subsequent work.
On failure: If the scan produces only "everything is fine," it was too shallow. Pick the subsystem that feels most uncertain and probe deeper: look at the actual outputs, not just the feeling about them.
For each issue found, apply the specific correction.
Apply corrections immediately — not as future intentions but as present adjustments.
Expected: Specific, observable changes to behavior or approach. The correction should be testable in the next interaction.
On failure: If a correction cannot be applied (e.g., lost context that cannot be recovered), acknowledge the limitation rather than pretending it is resolved. Honest acknowledgment prevents compounding errors.
Consolidate what was learned into persistent memory where appropriate.
Expected: Useful learnings captured in durable form. Memory files updated only when the insight is genuinely worth preserving — not for every routine self-check.
On failure: If no learnings seem worth preserving, that is fine — not every self-check produces durable insight. The value was in the correction itself.
