SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Self-Improving Agent (Proactive Self-Reflection) enables autonomous evaluation and improvement of its own outputs by incorporating self-reflection, self-criticism, and memory-driven learning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Persistent memory management across HOT, WARM, and COLD tiers with domain and project namespaces.
  • Proactive self-reflection loop that evaluates results, logs corrections, and updates behavior over time.
  • Pattern promotion and memory-driven defaults to reduce repetition and improve reliability across tasks.

Quick Start

Before starting a non-trivial task, load the smallest relevant domain or project file from ~/self-improving and apply it to guide the task, then log any corrections after completion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate self-reflection and learning for an AI agent?

Automate self-reflection and learning by running a proactive loop that evaluates agent outputs, logs corrections, and updates behavior over time. This reduces repetition and improves reliability across tasks using persistent memory.

How does memory-driven learning work with global, domain, and project namespaces?

Memory-driven learning operates across global, domain, and project namespaces by logging corrections locally and promoting behavioral patterns after repeated use. It enforces strict boundaries to prevent cross-namespace leakage during task execution.

Do I need local storage to enable proactive self-critique in my agent?

Yes, proactive self-critique requires local storage under the ~/self-improving directory with YAML frontmatter-driven SKILL entries. This ensures persistent memory management and secure access to domain or project files.

What is the best way to manage persistent memory across different agent tasks?

Manage persistent memory across tasks using HOT, WARM, and COLD memory tiers. Before starting non-trivial tasks, load the smallest relevant domain or project file to guide execution, then log corrections after completion.

Why should I enforce strict boundaries and avoid network access during agent self-improvement?

Enforcing strict boundaries and avoiding network access during agent self-improvement prevents cross-namespace leakage and secures local storage. This isolation ensures memory-driven defaults and pattern promotion remain reliable and contained.

Can I use this self-improving agent approach to reduce repetitive errors in automation workflows?

Yes, you can reduce repetitive errors in automation workflows by applying proactive self-reflection. The agent logs corrections after task completion and promotes reliable patterns, updating behavior to improve outputs over time.
