The user corrected an answer about a video — "no, it actually says X", "that's the wrong timestamp", "you misread the error code" — or asks why a video answer was wrong. Use this to record the correction as a lesson so future answers on similar questions improve, and to show what the system has learned and saved.
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
# Learning from mistakes When a video answer turns out wrong, the correction is worth more than an apology. Report it and Watch Skill learns locally — the mistake is classified, stored as a lesson, injected into future similar questions, and where possible the original question is immediately re-asked to confirm the lesson actually fixes it. ## Report a correction The moment the user corrects a video answer, run: ```bash watch-skill lessons add <video_id> "<question>" "<the wrong answer>" "<the correction>" ``` The output includes the lesson (`error_class`, `guidance`) and, when the question was re-asked, whether the corrected answer now comes back — tell the user which it was. Nothing is uploaded; lessons live in `~/.watch-skill/`. ## See what has been learned ```bash watch-skill lessons list ``` ## The savings meter ```bash watch-skill stats ``` Lifetime token economics: what text-first answering and the semantic cache have saved versus stuffing raw frames into context. Quote real numbers from it when the user asks whether any of this is worth it.

How to install
mdr add oxbshw/watch-skill/learning-from-mistakes@sha256:ebe0e78c74d7b8e5The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.4.3, 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.
