Continuous Learning Skill

Extract reusable patterns from sessions and save them as learned skills for future use.

How It Works

This skill analyzes the session transcript to identify extractable patterns:

1. Session Evaluation: Checks if session has enough messages (default: 10+)
2. Pattern Detection: Identifies error resolutions, workarounds, debugging techniques
3. Skill Extraction: Saves useful patterns to ~/.claude/skills/

When to Use

• At end of long sessions with multiple problem-solving cycles
• After resolving complex errors that might recur
• When you develop project-specific conventions

Invocation

Use /learn command or invoke directly:

/continuous-learning

Configuration

Edit config.json to customize:

{
  “min_session_length”: 10,
  “extraction_threshold”: “medium”,
  “auto_approve”: false,
  "learned_skills_path": "~/.claude/skills/learned/",
  “patterns_to_detect”: [
    “error_resolution”,
    “user_corrections”,
    “workarounds”,
    “debugging_techniques”,
    “project_specific”
  ]
}

Pattern Types

Pattern	Description
error_resolution	How specific errors were resolved
user_corrections	Patterns from user corrections
workarounds	Solutions to framework/library quirks
debugging_techniques	Effective debugging approaches
project_specific	Project-specific conventions

Learned Skills Format

Extracted skills are saved following the standard skill directory structure:

~/.claude/skills/learned/
├── fix-marimo-import-error/
│   └── SKILL.md
├── debug-pixi-environment/
│   └── SKILL.md
└── wrds-connection-pattern/
    └── SKILL.md

Each learned skill follows standard SKILL.md format with:

• Frontmatter (name and description)
• Problem context
• Solution pattern
• Example usage

Integration

The skill reads from CLAUDE_TRANSCRIPT_PATH (JSON conversation transcript) which is automatically set by Claude Code during sessions.
