SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The Self-Improving + Proactive Agent helps agents detect mistakes, learn from explicit corrections and self-reflection, and permanently improve future behavior by maintaining a local, tiered memory with safe maintenance routines.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Correction capture and promotion: Immediately log explicit corrections to corrections.md, track repeat counts, and promote recurring lessons to confirmed preferences in memory.md after confirmation.
  • Tiered local memory: Organize HOT, WARM, and COLD tiers under ~/self-improving/ with project and domain namespaces to load only relevant context and minimize context bloat.
  • Heartbeat-driven maintenance: Run conservative heartbeat rules to update indexes, compact oversized files, and preserve data integrity without destructive rewrites.
  • Use Case: When a user rejects or corrects an output, record the correction, run self-reflection, suggest improvements, and promote stable patterns after repeated confirmations.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to review its last response, log corrections to self-improving memory, and propose concrete improvements.

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 remember past mistakes?

To make an agent learn from corrections, log explicit user feedback to a local corrections file, track repeat counts, and promote recurring lessons to persistent memory after user confirmation. This ensures stable patterns improve future behavior.

What is tiered local memory for autonomous agent workflows?

Tiered local memory organizes context into HOT, WARM, and COLD files under a local directory with project and domain namespaces. This loads only relevant context, minimizes token bloat, and structures agent experience for retrieval.

How do I run safe maintenance and compaction on agent memory files?

Safe memory maintenance uses heartbeat-driven rules to update indexes and compact oversized files conservatively. This preserves data integrity without destructive rewrites, ensuring persistent memory remains reliable over time.

Do I need local storage to set up a self-improving agent?

Yes, local storage in a dedicated directory is required. The self-improving agent needs this local file system to log corrections, maintain tiered memory, and run heartbeat maintenance routines safely.

Can I use file-based memory to prevent context bloat in local agent workflows?

File-based memory prevents context bloat by structuring data into HOT, WARM, and COLD tiers with project namespaces. The agent loads only relevant context files, keeping the active prompt concise while retaining long-term lessons.

When should I not use a proactive self-improving agent approach?

Avoid this approach if your environment lacks local storage access or requires instant responses without heartbeat maintenance. The system needs explicit user confirmation to promote global preferences, which adds latency to workflows.
