Self-learning sidecar
Use this skill to recall prior shortcuts before you start work, and to record durable “aha” moments + recommendations after you finish.
Critical rule: if no learnings exist (cold start), say so and proceed with standard tools — do not invent memories.
1) PRE-RUN: Recall (before starting work)
When to use: Before any non-trivial task.
Action:
- Locate the project store:
<repo-root>/.agent-skills/self-learning/v1/users/<user>/
- Read
<project_store>/INDEX.md (quick skim).
- If you need targeted recall, run:
python scripts/self_learning.py list --query "<keywords>"- Optional filters:
--skill <name>, --tag skill:<name>
- Summarize 3–7 directly actionable bullets relevant to the current task (titles + IDs only; no long dumps).
2) POST-RUN: Record (after finishing work)
When to use: You discovered something durable (schema, fix, command sequence, constraint, etc.).
Action:
- Capture 1–5 Aha Cards (durable, reusable, specific, non-sensitive). Format:
references/FORMAT.md.
- Ensure every Aha Card and Recommendation has
primary_skill (use unknown if unsure).
- Set
scope to project (repo/run-specific) or portable (generally reusable; a backport candidate).
- If you rediscovered the same learning, treat it as reinforcement (signal) rather than duplicating the full card.
- Capture 1–5 concrete recommendations (what to change and where).
- Persist:
python scripts/self_learning.py record --json payload.json (or stdin)
Output requirement: print a short summary + top 3 items, then point to “view more” (INDEX.md / review --format json). Do not dump long JSON by default.
3) REVIEW: Dashboard / Next actions
When to use: “What’s still open?”, “What’s stale?”, “What should we backport?”, “Most useful learnings this week?”
Action:
python scripts/self_learning.py review --days 7- Full JSON: add
--format json
- Filters:
--skill <name>, --scope project|portable, --status proposed,accepted,in_progress, --query "<keywords>"
4) MAINTENANCE / Governance
- Repair store hygiene (append-only):
python scripts/self_learning.py repair --apply
- Update recommendation status/scope:
python scripts/self_learning.py rec-status --id rec_... --status done --scope portable --note "..."
- Optional backport bundle (explicit + auditable):
python scripts/self_learning.py export-backport --skill-path <skill-dir> --ids <aha_ids> [--make-diff] [--apply]
- Inspect backport markers in a skill:
python scripts/self_learning.py backport-inspect --skill-path <skill-dir>
