Use when the user wants to see recurring errors and learnings across changes.

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

# specclaw patterns

**First, run** `specclaw-ensure-init .specclaw` — idempotently creates `.specclaw/` if it doesn't exist (silent if already initialized; auto-inits using the current directory's basename as the project name).

Track recurring patterns across changes — errors and learnings that repeat become prevention rules.

**Scan a change for patterns:**
```bash
specclaw-detect-patterns .specclaw scan <change>
```
Reads `errors.md` and `learnings.md`, matches against existing patterns, creates new ones or increments existing.

**List all patterns:**
```bash
specclaw-detect-patterns .specclaw list [--min-recurrence N]
```

**Promote a pattern** to the repo-local knowledge base:
```bash
specclaw-detect-patterns .specclaw promote <pat-id>
```

Promote writes the prevention rule to `.specclaw/knowledge/agent-hints.md` — **never to the plugin itself**. The plugin stays versioned and generic; each repo builds its own knowledge over time.

**Auto-promotion:** patterns with 3+ occurrences are flagged ⚠️ — run `promote` to write their prevention rules into the local knowledge base so future build agents see them automatically.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/patterns@sha256:1bfd15756ea114e6

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.6b78134, 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.
