self-learning SKILL.md skillA

self-learning from alexwaha/agentry is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add alexwaha/agentry/self-learning@git:20261014.88e2c2f

Pins git:20261014.88e2c2f in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Standardized procedure for recording, recalling and distilling lessons and patterns in the project memory store and the shared rules. Use when an agent makes a mistake or hits a surprise (record), before an error-prone action (recall), or when a completed task needs its memory review (distill).

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-Learning

Record what went wrong so it never recurs, capture patterns worth reusing, and
recall past lessons before repeating a risky action. Modes: record, distill,
recall.

Everything lands in one store: `.agentry/memory/memory.db` (SQLite + FTS5), with
`lesson`, `pattern` and `module` rows. Contract and CLI:
`.agentry/memory/README.md`. The CLI is
`python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/memory/memory.py"`, referred to below as `$M`.

## Two tiers (where a lesson lands)

1. **This project** (operational gotcha, per-role habit, stack quirk) -> a
   `lesson` row in the store. Add `--agent <name>` when it is specific to one
   role, `--area <tag>` for a subject tag.
2. **Every future project** (convention, architecture, policy) -> the right
   shared rule: `.claude/rules/<area>.md`, which is committed.

Reusable CODE shapes go in as `--kind pattern` (a shape used once is not a
pattern). Module-map facts go in as `--kind module`.

## Mode: record (single lesson, any time)

```bash
python $M --record --kind lesson \
  --signature <kebab-case tag naming the SITUATION> \
  --trigger <when this lesson applies> \
  --what <what went wrong, one sentence> \
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add alexwaha/agentry/self-learning@sha256:d9c068f5cc351c3b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.88e2c2f, 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.
