SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Self-improvement for AI agents through proactive self-reflection, self-criticism, and memory-organized learning to improve performance over time.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Self-reflection and self-criticism to identify and fix mistakes in outputs.
  • Local, tiered memory management (HOT/WARM/COLD) with a corrections log and persistent patterns.
  • Proactive learning and rule maintenance across domains and projects, triggered by corrections or user feedback.

Quick Start

Before starting any non-trivial task, load the relevant memory and apply the smallest necessary domain or project file to guide your work.

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an AI agent learn from past mistakes and user corrections?

To make an AI agent learn from past mistakes, you use a self-improvement mechanism that captures user corrections and reflections into local memory. This allows the agent to review feedback, identify errors, and adapt its behavior for future non-trivial tasks.

What is tiered memory management for autonomous AI agents?

Tiered memory management for autonomous AI agents organizes stored reflections and corrections into HOT, WARM, and COLD levels. This structure prioritizes recent feedback and persistent patterns, ensuring the agent applies the most relevant context before starting new work.

Can I implement self-reflection for an AI agent using only local memory?

Yes, you can implement self-reflection using local memory by storing corrections and persistent patterns in a dedicated directory like ~/self-improving. The agent logs feedback to files like Corrections.md, enabling proactive learning and rule maintenance across domains without external databases.

When should an AI agent trigger proactive self-reflection?

An AI agent should trigger proactive self-reflection before starting any non-trivial work and immediately after receiving user feedback. This ensures the agent loads relevant memory files to guide its current task and logs new corrections to refine future outputs.

Best way to maintain consistent AI agent behavior across different projects?

The best way to maintain consistent AI agent behavior across different projects is to apply a continuous self-improvement process with cross-domain memory management. By logging corrections and persistent patterns in local files, the agent proactively applies learned rules to new tasks.
