Patterns for AI agents that learn from their own execution, detect failure modes, and improve autonomously. Use when building agents that get better over time, managing auto- memory, or designing self-correcting feedback loops.

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-Improving Agent - Autonomous Learning Patterns

Architectural patterns for AI agents that get better with use. Most agents are stateless -- they repeat mistakes because they cannot learn from their own execution. This skill closes that gap with patterns for feedback capture, memory curation, skill extraction, and regression detection. Key insight: auto-memory captures everything, but **curation** turns noise into knowledge.

## Core Capabilities

- **Memory curation** — a layered memory stack (CLAUDE.md → MEMORY.md → session), review protocol, and promotion criteria for graduating learnings into enforced rules.
- **Feedback loops** — outcome classification, signal extraction, and a capture template that turn every task result into a structured learning.
- **Regression detection** — metrics, thresholds, and a response protocol that flags performance degradation within a few sessions.
- **Skill extraction** — criteria and a 4-step process to graduate proven patterns into standalone skill packages.
- **Meta-learning** — adaptive capture strategy and anti-pattern detection so the agent learns *what* is worth learning.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add borghei/claude-skills/self-improving-agent@sha256:2bedb981a1849aa9

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, 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.
