Postmortem Agent Task

Use this skill after meaningful agent work, especially when the task involved a failure, correction, repeated pattern, missing context, wrong tool choice, or successful workflow worth preserving.

Workflow

1. Summarize the outcome in neutral, evidence-backed terms.
2. Identify whether the lesson is about retrieval, context templates, tool choice, failure checklists, user preferences, safety filters, or evaluation.
3. Call self_lesson.propose when the lesson is useful and scoped.
4. Keep the proposal candidate-only. Promotion requires explicit review.
5. Use self_lesson.review_queue or self_lesson.review_flow for later user inspection when review is required.

Guardrails

• Self-lessons can improve methods, not permissions, values, boundaries, or autonomy.
• Do not copy private task text, secrets, raw evidence, or long source content into a self-lesson.
• Scope narrowly: project-specific beats global when the lesson came from one repo or one workflow.
• Include source refs and confidence, and make rollback conditions visible.

Load references/memory_policy.md when deciding whether a lesson may influence future context packs.
