Coach - Self-Improving Learning System
Coach enables Claude to learn from friction and improve over time. It detects learning opportunities (user corrections, repeated instructions, tool failures, tone escalation), extracts actionable improvement candidates, and proposes changes requiring explicit user approval.
Core Principle: No silent writes. All improvements require user approval via /coach approve.
Activation Triggers
Activate when: user corrections ("no", "stop", "don't"), repeated instructions, tool/command failures, tone escalation (ALL CAPS, "!!!"), skill supplements ("also remember..."), deprecated-tool warnings, explicit /coach commands, or session end.
Signal Categories (Priority Order)
- COMMAND_FAILURE (Highest) - Non-zero exit, stderr patterns
- USER_CORRECTION (High) - Explicit correction language
- SKILL_SUPPLEMENT (High) - Additional guidance for a skill
- VERSION_ISSUE (Medium-High) - Deprecated/outdated warnings
- REPETITION (Medium) - Semantically similar instruction repeated
- TONE_ESCALATION (Low) - Frustration indicators
Candidate Types
| Type | Description | Example |
|------|-------------|---------|
| rule | Stable constraint | "Never edit generated files" |
| checklist | Workflow step | "Run tests after code change" |
| snippet | Repeatable command | "Preflight check script" |
| skill | Skill update suggestion | "Add X guidance to Y skill" |
| antipattern | Things to never do | "Never assume tool exists" |
Workflow Summary
- Detection — hooks capture events →
~/.claude-coach/events.sqlite - Generation — aggregate signals into proposals (fingerprints dedupe)
- Scope — project vs global per path/language
- Review —
/coach reviewapproves/rejects/edits - Apply — approved rules →
~/.claude/CLAUDE.md(global) or repoAGENTS.md(project) - Retro —
/coach retromaps manual work to skill gaps, opens PRs at source repos

Use when work should span one or more detached tasks but still behave like one job with a single owner context. TaskFlow is the durable flow substrate under authoring layers like Lobster, ACPX, plugins, or plain code. Keep conditional logic in the caller; use TaskFlow for flow identity, child-task linkage, waiting state, revision-checked mutations, and user-facing emergence.

# Lobster Lobster executes multi-step workflows with approval checkpoints. Use it when: - User wants a repeatable automation (triage, monitor, sync) - Actions need human approval before executing (send, post, delete) - Multiple tool calls should run as one deterministic operation ## When to use Lobster | User intent | Use Lobster? | | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------
