SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill logs learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement across coding tasks by centralizing insights and fixes for future reuse.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Log learnings, errors, and corrections to markdown files within a project workspace (.learnings directory) for persistent reference.
  • Promote important learnings to project memory by surfacing validated patterns to central guidance files and by enabling cross-session knowledge sharing.
  • OpenClaw integration and first-use initialisation guidance ensure a consistent, repeatable setup across sessions and agents.
  • Optional references, assets, and scripts support automated prompts, hook triggers, and tooling for extended workflows.

Quick Start

Initialised the .learnings directory and log files, then start logging learnings, errors, and corrections as they occur.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I log coding errors and corrections for continuous improvement across sessions?

Log coding errors and corrections by writing them to markdown files within a project workspace `.learnings` directory, centralizing insights and fixes for persistent reference across sessions.

What is the best way to capture learnings when issues arise during development tasks?

The best way to capture learnings is by logging errors, corrections, and new capabilities to markdown files whenever issues arise, enabling validation and promotion to central guidance files for future reuse.

Can I use a YAML frontmatter SKILL.md to share knowledge across different projects and agents?

Yes, you can use a YAML frontmatter `SKILL.md` with a name and description to enable cross-session knowledge sharing and promote important learnings to central guidance files across projects and agents.

How do I set up a `.learnings` directory to start recording project memory?

Initialize the `.learnings` directory and log files on first use, guided by OpenClaw integration and initialization setup, ensuring a consistent, repeatable environment for recording project memory across sessions.

Does OpenClaw integration support automated prompts and hook triggers for logging corrections?

Yes, OpenClaw integration supports automated prompts and hook triggers through optional references, assets, and scripts, providing tooling for extended workflows when logging corrections and learnings.

When should I promote logged learnings to central guidance files instead of keeping them in the `.learnings` directory?

Promote logged learnings to central guidance files when patterns are validated and require cross-project knowledge sharing, elevating them from local markdown logs to persistent project memory for continuous improvement.
