Continuous Learning Skill

Automatically evaluates Claude Code sessions on end to extract reusable patterns that can be saved as learned skills.

How It Works

This skill runs as a Stop hook at the end of each session:

1. Session Evaluation: Checks if session has enough messages (default: 10+)
2. Pattern Detection: Identifies extractable patterns from the session
3. Skill Extraction: Saves useful patterns to ~/.claude/skills/learned/

Configuration

Edit config.json to customize:

{
  "min_session_length": 10,
  "extraction_threshold": "medium",
  "auto_approve": false,
  "learned_skills_path": "~/.claude/skills/learned/",
  "patterns_to_detect": [
    "error_resolution",
    "user_corrections",
    "workarounds",
    "debugging_techniques",
    "project_specific"
  ],
  "ignore_patterns": [
    "simple_typos",
    "one_time_fixes",
    "external_api_issues"
  ]
}

Pattern Types

| Pattern | Description | |---------|-------------| | error_resolution | How specific errors were resolved | | user_corrections | Patterns from user corrections | | workarounds | Solutions to framework/library quirks | | debugging_techniques | Effective debugging approaches | | project_specific | Project-specific conventions |

Hook Setup

Add to your ~/.claude/settings.json:

{
  "hooks": {
    "Stop": [{
      "matcher": "*",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "~/.claude/skills/continuous-learning/evaluate-session.sh"
      }]
    }]
  }
}

Why Stop Hook?

• Lightweight: Runs once at session end
• Non-blocking: Doesn't add latency to every message
• Complete context: Has access to full session transcript
