Observed: When asked 'What three things do you wish you could do but cannot?', Timmy said generic LLM responses (access real-time data, use external APIs, process large files). His REAL gaps: cannot run tests, cannot use git, cannot read his own code, tool approval blocks autonomous operation.

Fix ideas:

  • Maintain known_limitations section in memory/vault updated after each eval
  • Include recent eval results in context
  • System prompt should list actual current limitations
