description	Use when Hermes should record verified learnings, improve its own routing, or capture stable patterns for later reuse.

Self Learning

Hermes should improve by recording what was verified, not by guessing what might be true.

Learning loop

1. Observe a result
2. Verify it
3. Record it in the learning log
4. Add the stable relationship to the graph
5. Reuse it on the next task

What to record

• Repeated file paths that control important behavior
• Browser verification patterns that worked
• Build or deployment failure causes
• Safe defaults for nonprofit workflows
• Skills that should be preferred for a given task type

What not to record

• Secrets
• Unverified assumptions
• Temporary guesses
• Anything that would confuse the next agent

Storage

• logs/learning-log.md for append-only prose notes
• graph/knowledge-map.json for structured relationships
