Agent self-improvement
Steering corrections → promotion skill
On user steering, remember this, or a process mistake worth preserving:
- Open and follow steering-correction-promotion same turn.
- If brain files changed, run quick agent-brain-refresh.
Journal = receipt
| Step | Action |
|---|
| 1 | Artifact per promotion skill |
| 2 | Prepend JRN with Artifact path |
| 3 | Confirm artifact + journal id in chat |
Journal-only entries are incomplete (except explicit user deferral).
When to run
Immediately: steering correction, remember this, costly mistake, durable fix.
Periodically: after discrete tasks with process lessons; before switching task areas.
Session end: catch missed artifact + JRN pairs; run agent-brain-refresh if brain files changed.
JRN format
See steering-correction-promotion § JRN receipt and self-journal.md.
Do not
- Store research findings in the journal (use EXPERIMENT_LOG / DISCUSSION_NOTES)
- Create skills in
~/.cursor/skills-cursor/ (Cursor internal)
