Continuous Learning

Continuous Learning Skill

Extract reusable patterns from sessions and save them as learned skills for future use.

How It Works

This skill analyzes the session transcript to identify extractable patterns:

1. Session Evaluation: Checks if session has enough messages (default: 10+)
2. Pattern Detection: Identifies error resolutions, workarounds, debugging techniques
3. Skill Extraction: Saves useful patterns to ~/.claude/skills/

When to Use

• At end of long sessions with multiple problem-solving cycles
• After resolving complex errors that might recur
• When you develop project-specific conventions

Invocation

Use /learn command or invoke directly:

/continuous-learning

Configuration

Edit config.json to customize:

{
  “min_session_length”: 10,
  “extraction_threshold”: “medium”,
  “auto_approve”: false,
  "learned_skills_path": "~/.claude/skills/learned/",
  “patterns_to_detect”: [
    “error_resolution”,
    “user_corrections”,
    “workarounds”,
    “debugging_techniques”,
    “project_specific”
  ]
}

Pattern Types

Learned Skills Format

Extracted skills are saved following the standard skill directory structure:

~/.claude/skills/learned/
├── fix-marimo-import-error/
│   └── SKILL.md
├── debug-pixi-environment/
│   └── SKILL.md
└── wrds-connection-pattern/
    └── SKILL.md

Each learned skill follows standard SKILL.md format with:

• Frontmatter (name and description)
• Problem context
• Solution pattern
• Example usage

Integration

The skill reads from CLAUDE_TRANSCRIPT_PATH (JSON conversation transcript) which is automatically set by Claude Code during sessions.
