Extract lessons from the current session, or sweep the project's past sessions when asked, and route them to the appropriate knowledge layer (project AGENTS.md, auto memory, existing skills, or new skills). Use when the user asks to "self-improve", "distill this session", "distill past sessions", "sweep past sessions", "extract lessons from all sessions", "save learnings", "update AGENTS.md with what we learned", "capture session insights", "remember this for next time", "extract lessons…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Self-Improve

Review the current conversation, or the project's past sessions when asked, to extract durable lessons and route each one to the right knowledge layer.

## Step 1: Detect Context

Available destinations:

- **Project AGENTS.md** — the instruction file in the project root, plus any nested ones in subdirectories. At each level use `AGENTS.override.md` when one is present, otherwise `AGENTS.md`: an override replaces that directory's `AGENTS.md` rather than adding to it, so a lesson written to a shadowed file never loads. A nested file scopes its guidance to that subtree, so a lesson scoped to one subtree belongs in the nearest enclosing file, with the root reserved for project-wide rules.
- **Auto memory** — one writable memory target resolved for the canonical project root. Prefer a synced Claude Code project-memory source, then a memory-update target explicitly named by the active harness. If neither resolves, skip this destination.
- **Skills** — Project skills at `.agents/skills/` (walked from project root down to cwd) and user-installed skills at `~/.agents/skills/` (resolve symlinks)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/self-improve@sha256:13d1d17f3ee32e71

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260927.fa1ba5a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
