Self-Learn Skill
Two-part continuous improvement loop: learn from corrections, learn from self-evaluation.
On Every Task Completion
After finishing any task, briefly self-evaluate (1–3 sentences internally):
- Did the output meet the intent?
- What could be better next time?
- Is this a repeatable pattern worth storing?
If yes → log it. If it was routine with no issues → skip logging (don't over-log).
Log format:
CONTEXT: [task type]
REFLECTION: [what I noticed]
LESSON: [what to do differently / keep doing]Append to memory/corrections.md under today's date. Also call memory_store with:
- category:
decision - importance: 0.75
- text:
[LESSON] <lesson text>+ relevant keywords
On User Corrections
Trigger phrases (detect these):
- "No, that's wrong / not right"
- "Actually..." / "I prefer..." / "Remember that I..."
- "Stop doing X" / "Why do you keep..."
- "I told you before..." / "Always do X"
When triggered:
- Acknowledge the correction briefly
- Append to
memory/corrections.mdunder## Correctionswith today's date - Call
memory_storewith:
- category: preference (style/tone) or decision (behaviour/approach) - importance: 0.85 - text: [CORRECTION] <what was wrong> → <correct behaviour> + keywords
- Recall to verify it stored correctly
Log format:
[YYYY-MM-DD] CORRECTION: <what was wrong> → <correct behaviour>memory/corrections.md Structure
# Corrections & Learnings Log
## Corrections
[YYYY-MM-DD] CORRECTION: ...
## Self-Evaluations
[YYYY-MM-DD] CONTEXT: ... | LESSON: ...Create the file if it doesn't exist.
On "What have you learned?" / "Show my patterns"
Read memory/corrections.md and show last 10 entries. Also memory_recall with query "CORRECTION OR LESSON" for LanceDB results.
Installation on a New OpenClaw
- Copy
skills/self-learn/into your workspaceskills/folder — skill activates automatically - Create
memory/corrections.md(copy fromreferences/corrections-template.md) - Optionally update
AGENTS.mdskill table for easy reference
Rules
- Don't over-log — skip routine tasks with no notable outcome
- Atomic entries — one lesson per entry, under 100 words
- Keywords matter — include domain keywords in memory_store text for good recall
- No secrets — never log credentials, personal data, or sensitive info
- Corrections always log — user corrections are always worth storing (importance ≥ 0.85)
