How do I practice new habit fragility?

The most direct way to practice new habit fragility is through a focused exercise: Identify one agent you've deployed in the last 30 days — a habit, a decision rule, a review practice, anything you explicitly designed and started running. Write down: (1) How many times you've actually executed it. (2) What situations caused you to skip or override it. (3) Whether it has a scheduled check-in or is relying on your memory to keep it alive. If you don't have a recent agent, that's your answer — your deployment pipeline has an infant mortality problem.

Common pitfall: Treating a newly deployed agent like an established one. You assume that because you designed it well and it worked the first few times, it will keep running on its own. It won't. New agents don't have the neural grooves, the environmental cues, or the social reinforcement that established agents rely on. Without deliberate support in the first month, even well-designed agents quietly stop executing — and you won't notice until the problem they were solving reappears.

This practice connects to Phase 30 (Agent Lifecycle) — building it as a repeatable habit compounds over time.
