Propagate learnings to improve existing skills by feeding observations, corrections, gotchas, or new patterns to a backprop subagent that decides how to update skills.
Trigger on:
The user provides a learning. It can be:
has + inside with stopBy: end is the way to match deeply nested X inside Y"regex on multiline nodes, it only sees the first line"set! directive for injection.combined"When this skill loads, the main agent MUST:
backprop subagent with a prompt containing:
LEARNING:
{the observation, correction, or new pattern}
TOPIC HINT:
{topic area if known, or "unknown -- search broadly"}
EVIDENCE:
{any code snippets, error messages, or examples that support the learning}
The subagent will search ~/.agents/skills/, read relevant skills, and edit them.
For each relevant skill, the subagent picks one of:
The subagent does NOT:
High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.
You propagate learnings by feeding a correction, gotcha, or new pattern to a backprop subagent that searches relevant skills, applies edits, and reports what changed and why.
Skill knowledge propagation is the process of updating existing skills with new session discoveries. Use it when you find corrections, missing concepts, or anti-patterns that should influence related skills across topics.
Provide the gotcha or correction with supporting code evidence, and the backprop subagent will decide whether to append, correct, restructure, or skip it for relevant skills.
No, the skill propagation subagent cannot create new skills. It only edits existing skills by appending, correcting, or restructuring content; creating new skills requires a separate docs-to-skills process.
To fix incorrect information across skills, submit the correction to the backprop subagent, which searches broadly for relevance and applies the necessary corrections to all affected skills automatically.
No, the skill update process does not modify skill frontmatter such as name or description unless the description is now inaccurate. It also does not delete large sections of existing skills.
