- description
- Capture errors, corrections, and recurring patterns into structured
.learnings/logs, then promote durable guidance into workspace memory files. Use when commands fail, users correct output, missing capabilities are requested, or new best practices should be preserved across sessions.
Self-Improving Agent
Use this skill to turn execution feedback into reusable operational knowledge.
Quick workflow
- Detect signal: error, correction, capability gap, or repeated workaround.
- Log to
.learnings/with the right entry type. - Resolve or promote high-value patterns into durable workspace files.
- Reuse scripts/hooks to keep capture consistent.
Use bundled resources
- Entry examples and formats:
references/examples.md - Hook setup for reminders/error detection:
references/hooks-setup.md - OpenClaw workspace integration:
references/openclaw-integration.md - Reminder hook script:
scripts/activator.sh - Command-error detector:
scripts/error-detector.sh - Skill extraction scaffold:
scripts/extract-skill.sh - Environment checks:
scripts/check_env.sh - Log templates:
assets/LEARNINGS.md,assets/SKILL-TEMPLATE.md
Log targets
.learnings/LEARNINGS.md: corrections, knowledge gaps, best practices.learnings/ERRORS.md: command/tool/runtime failures.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md: requested capabilities not yet supported
Promotion rules
Promote broadly reusable learnings out of .learnings/:
- behavior/style ->
SOUL.md - workflow/orchestration ->
AGENTS.md - tool constraints/gotchas ->
TOOLS.md
Update original entries with status transitions (resolved, promoted, wont_fix) and references.
