Self-Improvement Skill
Log learnings and errors to markdown files for continuous improvement. Coding agents can later process these into fixes, and important learnings get promoted to project memory.
Quick Reference
| Situation | Action |
|---|---|
| Command/operation fails | Log to .learnings/ERRORS.md |
| User corrects you | Log to .learnings/LEARNINGS.md with category correction |
| User wants missing feature | Log to .learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md |
| API/external tool fails | Log to .learnings/ERRORS.md with integration details |
| Knowledge was outdated | Log to .learnings/LEARNINGS.md with category knowledge_gap |
| Found better approach | Log to .learnings/LEARNINGS.md with category best_practice |
| Simplify/Harden recurring patterns | Log/update .learnings/LEARNINGS.md with Source: simplify-and-harden and a stable Pattern-Key |
| Similar to existing entry | Link with **See Also**, consider priority bump |
| Broadly applicable learning | Promote to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and/or .github/copilot-instructions.md |
