Gladiator Plugin
Continuous learning. Observes tool failures and prompts reflection to evolve rules, hooks, and skills.
Hooks
| Hook | When | Action |
|---|
| PostToolUseFailure(Bash/Edit) | After tool failure | Nudges you to call gladiator_observe() — you must call it, not automatic |
| Stop | Session ending | Prompts gladiator_reflect() if >= 10 unprocessed observations |
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|
/review-gladiator [topic] | Batch learn from accumulated observations and session history |
Workflows
Observe (manual — hooks only nudge)
After a tool failure, the hook nudges you. YOU must call gladiator_observe() — it is NOT automatic. After fixing an error, record what worked:
gladiator_observe(
summary: "<what failed and how it was fixed>",
context: {error, tool, before, after},
tags: ["error", "<tool_name>"]
)
Reflect
gladiator_reflect() — cluster observations into recommendations- For each recommendation: read the existing artifact (if overlap detected)
- Propose UPDATE to existing artifact, not a new duplicate
- Present to user with reasoning
- Apply changes one at a time after approval
Batch Review (/review-gladiator)
- Review accumulated observations across sessions
gladiator_reflect() to cluster all observations- Present recommendations to user
- Apply updates to existing rules/skills/hooks
