SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? AI agents repeat the same mistakes across sessions because they lack persistent memory of user corrections and preferences. This Skill gives the agent a structured, self-organizing memory so it learns from corrections, self-reflection, and repeated patterns instead of starting from zero every time. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Tiered Memory Architecture: Stores learnings in hot (memory.md), warm (projects/, domains/), and cold (archive/) layers under ~/self-improving/, with automatic promotion and demotion based on usage frequency. - Correction & Preference Learning: Detects explicit correction signals ("no, do X instead", "I told you before..."), logs them to corrections.md, and promotes patterns to confirmed rules after three repetitions with user confirmation. - Self-Reflection Workflow: After significant work, the agent evaluates results against intent and logs lessons in a structured format for future retrieval. - Safety Boundaries: Never stores credentials, financial data, medical info, or third-party information, and supports full memory export and wipe on request. - Use Case: A user repeatedly corrects the agent to use SQLite instead of Postgres for MVP projects; after three corrections the agent asks for confirmation, then permanently applies the preference and cites its source when used. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to set up the self-improving memory system and start learning from your corrections and preferences.

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 remember my corrections across sessions?

This Skill stores corrections in a local ~/self-improving/ directory with tiered markdown files. Explicit corrections are logged immediately, and patterns repeated three times are promoted to permanent preferences after your confirmation.

How does the self-improving memory tier system work?

Memory is split into hot (memory.md, always loaded, max 100 lines), warm (projects/ and domains/, loaded on context match), and cold (archive/) tiers. Patterns unused for 30 days demote to warm, and 90 days to cold storage.

What data does the self-improving skill never store?

It never stores credentials, API keys, financial data, medical information, biometrics, third-party personal data, or location patterns. It also never infers preferences from silence or single occurrences.

Can I export or delete everything the agent has learned about me?

Yes. Saying "export memory" packages all files into a ZIP archive, and "forget everything" exports the current memory, wipes all learned data, and confirms the reset with no residual behavior patterns.

Does the self-improving skill require external APIs or credentials?

No. It requires no credentials, no extra binaries, and makes no network requests. All state lives in local markdown files under ~/self-improving/, with an optional Proactivity companion skill installed only with consent.
