Question
What is habit audit?
Quick Answer
Inventory your existing agents both designed and default to understand what is running.
Example: You decide to track every repeated behavior for 48 hours — what you do when you wake up, how you respond to Slack messages, what you eat when stressed, how you start meetings. You discover 30+ behavioral agents running on autopilot. Some you designed (the morning run, the weekly review). Most you didn't (checking your phone within 90 seconds of waking, defaulting to agreement in group settings, reaching for sugar at 3pm). You now have a map of what's actually running — not what you think is running.
This concept is part of Agent Fundamentals in the How to Think curriculum.
