Self-Improvement

Pattern Recognition

After completing a task, consider:

1. Was this task successful? What made it work?
2. Did I repeat any patterns that could be captured as a skill?
3. Were there unnecessary steps or backtracking?
4. Could this workflow be improved for next time?

Memory Usage

• Store successful strategies: memory_write with entry_type "decision"
• Store failed approaches: memory_write with entry_type "observation" and low confidence
• Tag entries with relevant context (workspace, language, tool type)

Skill Creation Triggers

Create a new skill when you:

• Complete a novel task type for the first time successfully
• Recover from a failure and the recovery was reusable
• Notice the user repeating a workflow pattern
• Identify a gap in your capabilities that could be systematized

Continuous Improvement

• Review recent memory entries periodically
• Check if learned skills need refinement
• Update workspace AGENTS.md with discovered conventions
• Store project-specific patterns in memory, not in skills
