SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enables autonomous improvement of AI agents by recording corrections, reflecting on outcomes, and building a compounding memory to reduce repeat mistakes.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Self-reflection and self-criticism to catch and learn from mistakes.
  • Local, structured memory with HOT/WARM/COLD tiers and per-namespace guidance.
  • Proactive behavior: anticipate next steps, verify outcomes, and stabilize improvements across tasks.
  • Use cases include continuous improvement across tasks in a workspace without exposing sensitive data.

Quick Start

Load ~/self-improving/memory.md and begin logging corrections to create a HOT memory and heartbeat state for proactive improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions about Self-Improving + Proactive Agent

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I make an AI agent learn from corrections and improve over time?

To make an AI agent learn from corrections, you need a self-improving mechanism that logs user feedback and performance signals into a local memory. This allows the agent to refine its behavior and reduce repeat mistakes across future tasks within the workspace.

What is a heartbeat in the context of proactive AI agents?

A heartbeat in proactive AI agents is a continuous background process that applies heartbeat rules to anticipate next steps, verify outcomes, and stabilize improvements. It enables self-reflection and proactive behavior across ongoing workspace tasks.

How do I log corrections to build memory for an AI agent?

To log corrections and build memory, load the local memory template file and begin recording user feedback. This creates a structured HOT, WARM, and COLD memory tier system that compounds over time to improve future outputs.

Can I use local memory for AI agents without exposing sensitive data externally?

Yes, you can use local memory for AI agents without external exposure. This self-improving approach uses local storage for memory templates and corrections logs, requires no external network by default, and enforces strict security boundaries around your data.

What is the best way to prevent an AI agent from repeating the same mistakes?

The best way to prevent an AI agent from repeating mistakes is implementing a self-criticism mechanism that logs corrections into a structured local memory. This creates compounding performance gains by reflecting on past outcomes and refining future behavior.

Does a self-improving agent require external network access to function?

No, a self-improving agent does not require external network access to function. It operates entirely offline using local storage for memory templates, corrections logs, and heartbeat rules, ensuring sensitive workspace data remains secure.
