SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It addresses the need for agents to improve their own instructions and capabilities over time rather than relying on one-off, static skill definitions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Meta-learning loop (stub): Supports a future workflow where an agent updates its own skill files based on performance outcomes.
  • Registry-driven activation (planned): Links activation and governance to a centralized registry entry so the skill can be discovered and promoted safely.
  • Promotion checklist (planned): Enforces a build-and-validation process before the skill becomes usable.

Quick Start

Treat this as a non-invokable stub and follow the build checklist by writing the full, non-[STUB] SKILL.md only after reading the canonical detail card in Cyclone-SS/skills-registry.md §3.

FAQPage Schema
How does meta-learning work for updating agent instructions based on task outcomes?

Meta-learning for updating agent instructions works by creating an iterative loop where agents analyze task outcomes to modify and evolve their own skill files. This enables self-governing behaviors to improve automatically across repeated runs instead of relying on static definitions.

How do I set up a validation checklist for promoting self-improving agent skills?

To set up a validation checklist for promoting self-improving agent skills, you must enforce a mandatory build process. This requires writing a complete SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter and verifying correctness against a registry entry before the skill becomes deployable.

Do I need a skill registry to manage agent governance and activation?

Yes, you need a centralized skill registry to manage agent governance and activation safely. Linking the skill to a registry entry ensures that the meta-learning workflow enforces validation and promotes correct behaviors before the skill becomes usable.

What is the best way to automate agent capability upgrades from task outcomes?

The best way to automate agent capability upgrades from task outcomes is implementing an iterative meta-learning loop. This approach updates skill instructions dynamically based on performance results, ensuring the agent evolves its behaviors continuously without manual intervention.

What are the limitations of using a stub for self-improving agent workflows?

The limitation of using a stub for self-improving agent workflows is that it is currently non-invokable. You must follow the full promotion checklist and replace the stub with a complete SKILL.md file before the automation and instruction updating capabilities can function.
