patterns skillB

patterns is agent-read markdown (skill) from chan4lk/specclaw: Inspect the cross-change pattern registry. Track recurring errors and learnings across changes; promote patterns with 3+ occurrences to prevention rules. Use to see what keeps happening before planning a new change..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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.
