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 CLAUDE.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 CLAUDE.md / AGENTS.md** — The root `.claude/CLAUDE.md` (may be a symlink to `../AGENTS.md` — resolve it), plus any nested `CLAUDE.md` / `AGENTS.md` files in subdirectories. Claude Code loads a subdirectory's file on demand when files in that subtree are accessed, so a lesson scoped to one subtree belongs in the nearest enclosing file, with the root reserved for project-wide rules.
- **Auto memory** — The project-specific memory directory named by the active harness. An effective `autoMemoryDirectory` setting overrides its location; otherwise it normally lives at `<Claude config home>/projects/<encoded project root>/memory/`, where the config home is `CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR` when set and `~/.claude` otherwise. The key replaces every character outside `A-Za-z0-9` with `-`, and long keys may be truncated and hashed, so prefer the exact harness-provided path over recomputing it. List the directory and read `MEMORY.md` if it exists.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tobihagemann/turbo/self-improve@sha256:eb85e81898a83496

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.
