Skill: czubi1928/self-improving-agent-1-0-5 (version 1.0.0)

--- name: self-improvement description: "Captures learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails, (5) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (6) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task. Also review learnings before major tasks." --- # Self-Improvement Skill Log learnings and errors to markdown files for continuous improvement. Coding agents can later process these into fixes, and important learnings get promoted to project memory. ## Quick Reference | Situation | Action | |-----------|--------| | Command/operation fails | Log to `.learnings/ERRORS.md` | | User corrects you | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `correction` | | User wants missing feature | Log to `.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` | | API/external tool fails | Log to `.learnings/ERRORS.md` with integration details | | Knowledge was outdated | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `knowledge_gap` | | Found better approach | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `best_practice` | | Similar to existing entry | Link with `**See Also**`, consider priority bump | | Broadly applicable learning | Promote to `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and/or `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | | Workflow improvements | Promote to `AGENTS.md` (OpenClaw workspace) | | Tool gotchas | Promote to `TOOLS.md` (OpenClaw workspace) | | Behavioral patterns | Promote to `SOUL.md` (OpenClaw workspace) | ## OpenClaw Setup (Recommended) OpenClaw is the primary platform for this skill. It uses workspace-based prompt injection with automatic skill loading. ### Installation **Via ClawdHub (recommended):** ```bash clawdhub install self-improving-agent ``` **Manual:** ```bash git clone https://github.com/peterskoett/self-improving-agent.git ~/.openclaw/skills/self-improving-agent ``` ### Workspace Structure OpenClaw injects these files into every session: ``` ~/.openclaw/workspace/ ├── AGENTS.md # Multi-agent workflows, delegation patterns ├── SOUL.md # Behavioral guidelines, personality, principles ├── TOOLS.md # Tool capabilities, integration gotchas ├── MEMORY.md # Long-term memory (main session only) ├── memory/ # Daily memory files │ └── YYYY-MM-DD.md └── .learnings/ # This skill's log files ├── LEARNINGS.md ├── ERRORS.md └── FEATURE_REQUESTS.md ``` ### Create Learning Files ```bash mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/.learnings ``` Then create the log files (or copy from `assets/`): - `LEARNINGS.md` — corrections, knowledge gaps, best practices - `ERRORS.md` — command failures, exceptions - `FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` — user-requested capabilities ### Promotion Targets When learnings prove broadly applicable, promote them to workspace files: | Learning Type | Promote To | Example | |---------------|------------|---------| | Behavioral patterns | `SOUL.md` | "Be concise, avoid disclaimers" | | Workflow improvements | `AGENTS.md` | "Spawn sub-agents for long tasks" | | Tool gotchas | `TOOLS.md` | "Git push needs auth configured first" | ### Inter-Session Communication OpenClaw provides tools to share learnings across sessions: - **sessions_list** — View active/recent sessions - **sessions_history** — Read another session's transcript - **sessions_send** — Send a learning to another session - **sessions_spawn** — Spawn a sub-agent for background work ### Optional: Enable Hook For automatic reminders at session start: ```bash # Copy hook to OpenClaw hooks directory cp -r hooks/openclaw ~/.openclaw/hooks/self-improvement # Enable it openclaw hooks enable self-improvement ``` See `references/openclaw-integration.md` for complete details. --- ## Generic Setup (Other Agents) For Claude Code, Codex, Copilot, or other agents, create `.learnings/` in your project: ```bash mkdir -p .learnings ``` Copy templates from `assets/` or create files with headers. ## Logging Format ### Learning Entry Append to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md`: ```markdown ## [LRN-YYYYMMDD-XXX] category **Logged**: ISO-8601 timestamp **Priority**: low | medium | high | critical **Status**: pending **Area**: frontend | backend | infra | tests | docs | config ### Summary One-line description of what was learned ### Details Full context: what happened, what was wrong, what's correct ### Suggested Action Specific fix or improvement to make ### Metadata - Source: conversation | error | user_feedback - Related Files: path/to/file.ext - Tags: tag1, tag2 - See Also: LRN-20250110-001 (if related to existing entry) --- ``` ### Error Entry Append to `.learnings/ERRORS.md`: ```markdown ## [ERR-YYYYMMDD-XXX] skill_or_command_name **Logged**: ISO-8601 timestamp **Priority**: high **Status**: pending **Area**: frontend | backend | infra | tests | docs | config ### Summary Brief description of what failed ### Error ``` Actual error message or output ``` ### Context - Command/operation attempted - Input or parameters used - Environment details if relevant ### Suggested Fix If identifiable, what might resolve this ### Metadata - Reproducible: yes | no | unknown - Related Files: path/to/file.ext - See Also: ERR-20250110-001 (if recurring) --- ``` ### Feature Request Entry Append to `.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md`: ```markdown ## [FEAT-YYYYMMDD-XXX] capability_name **Logged**: ISO-8601 timestamp **Priority**: medium **Status**: pending **Area**: frontend | backend | infra | tests | docs | config ### Requested Capability What the user wanted to do ### User Context Why they needed it, what problem they're solving ### Complexity Estimate simple | medium | complex ### Suggested Implementation How this could be built, what it might extend ### Metadata - Frequency: first_time | recurring - Related Features: existing_feature_name --- ``` ## ID Generation Format: `TYPE-YYYYMMDD-XXX` - TYPE: `LRN` (learning), `ERR` (error), `FEAT` (feature) - YYYYMMDD: Current date - XXX: Sequential number or random 3 chars (e.g., `001`, `A7B`) Examples: `LRN-20250115-001`, `ERR-20250115-A3F`, `FEAT-20250115-002` ## Resolving Entries When an issue is fixed, update the entry: 1. Change `**Status**: pending` → `**Status**: resolved` 2. Add resolution block after Metadata: ```markdown ### Resolution - **Resolved**: 2025-01-16T09:00:00Z - **Commit/PR**: abc123 or #42 - **Notes**: Brief description of what was done ``` Other status values: - `in_progress` - Actively being worked on - `wont_fix` - Decided not to address (add reason in Resolution notes) - `promoted` - Elevated to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, or .github/copilot-instructions.md ## Promoting to Project Memory When a learning is broadly applicable (not a one-off fix), promote it to permanent project memory. ### When to Promote - Learning applies across multiple files/features - Knowledge any contributor (human or AI) should know - Prevents recurring mistakes - Documents project-specific conventions ### Promotion Targets | Target | What Belongs There | |--------|-------------------| | `CLAUDE.md` | Project facts, conventions, gotchas for all Claude interactions | | `AGENTS.md` | Agent-specific workflows, tool usage patterns, automation rules | | `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | Project context and conventions for GitHub Copilot | | `SOUL.md` | Behavioral guidelines, communication style, principles (OpenClaw workspace) | | `TOOLS.md` | Tool capabilities, usage patterns, integration gotchas (OpenClaw workspace) | ### How to Promote 1. **Distill** the learning into a concise rule or fact 2. **Add** to appropriate section in target file (create file if needed) 3. **Update** original entry: - Change `**Status**: pending` → `**Status**: promoted` - Add `**Promoted**: CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, or `.github/copilot-instructions.md` ### Promotion Examples **Learning** (verbose): > Project uses pnpm workspaces. Attempted `npm install` but failed. > Lock file is `pnpm-lock.yaml`. Must use `pnpm install`. **In CLAUDE.md** (concise): ```markdown ## Build & Dependencies - Package manager: pnpm (not npm) - use `pnpm install` ``` **Learning** (verbose): > When modifying API endpoints, must regenerate TypeScript client. > Forgetting this causes type mismatches at runtime. **In AGENTS.md** (actionable): ```markdown ## After API Changes 1. Regenerate client: `pnpm run generate:api` 2. Check for type errors: `pnpm tsc --noEmit` ``` ## Recurring Pattern Detection If logging something similar to an existing entry: 1. **Search first**: `grep -r "keyword" .learnings/` 2. **Link entries**: Add `**See Also**: ERR-20250110-001` in Metadata 3. **Bump priority** if issue keeps recurring 4. **Consider systemic fix**: Recurring issues often indicate: - Missing documentation (→ promote to CLAUDE.md or .github/copilot-instructions.md) - Missing automation (→ add to AGENTS.md) - Architectural problem (→ create tech debt ticket) ## Periodic Review Review `.learnings/` at natural breakpoints: ### When to Review - Before starting a new major task - After completing a feature - When working in an area with past learnings - Weekly during active development ### Quick Status Check ```bash # Count pending items grep -h "Status\*\*: pending" .learnings/*.md | wc -l # List pending high-priority items grep -B5 "Priority\*\*: high" .learnings/*.md | grep "^## \[" # Find learnings for a specific area grep -l "Area\*\*: backend" .learnings/*.md ``` ### Review Actions - Resolve fixed items - Promote applicable learnings - Link related entries - Escalate recurring issues ## Detection Triggers Automatically log when you notice: **Corrections** (→ learning with `correction` category): - "No, that's not right..." - "Actually, it should be..." - "You're wrong about..." - "That's outdated..." **Feature Requests** (→ feature request): - "Can you also..." - "I wish you could..." - "Is there a way to..." - "Why can't you..." **Knowledge Gaps** (→ learning with `knowledge_gap` category): - User provides information you didn't know - Documentation you referenced is outdated - API behavior differs from your understanding **Errors** (→ error entry): - Command returns non-zero exit code - Exception or stack trace - Unexpected output or behavior - Timeout or connection failure ## Priority Guidelines | Priority | When to Use | |----------|-------------| | `critical` | Blocks core functionality, data loss risk, security issue | | `high` | Significant impact, affects common workflows, recurring issue | | `medium` | Moderate impact, workaround exists | | `low` | Minor inconvenience, edge case, nice-to-have | ## Area Tags Use to filter learnings by codebase region: | Area | Scope | |------|-------| | `frontend` | UI, components, client-side code | | `backend` | API, services, server-side code | | `infra` | CI/CD, deployment, Docker, cloud | | `tests` | Test files, testing utilities, coverage | | `docs` | Documentation, comments, READMEs | | `config` | Configuration files, environment, settings | ## Best Practices 1. **Log immediately** - context is freshest right after the issue 2. **Be specific** - future agents need to understand quickly 3. **Include reproduction steps** - especially for errors 4. **Link related files** - makes fixes easier 5. **Suggest concrete fixes** - not just "investigate" 6. **Use consistent categories** - enables filtering 7. **Promote aggressively** - if in doubt, add to CLAUDE.md or .github/copilot-instructions.md 8. **Review regularly** - stale learnings lose value ## Gitignore Options **Keep learnings local** (per-developer): ```gitignore .learnings/ ``` **Track learnings in repo** (team-wide): Don't add to .gitignore - learnings become shared knowledge. **Hybrid** (track templates, ignore entries): ```gitignore .learnings/*.md !.learnings/.gitkeep ``` ## Hook Integration Enable automatic reminders through agent hooks. This is **opt-in** - you must explicitly configure hooks. ### Quick Setup (Claude Code / Codex) Create `.claude/settings.json` in your project: ```json { "hooks": { "UserPromptSubmit": [{ "matcher": "", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh" }] }] } } ``` This injects a learning evaluation reminder after each prompt (~50-100 tokens overhead). ### Full Setup (With Error Detection) ```json { "hooks": { "UserPromptSubmit": [{ "matcher": "", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh" }] }], "PostToolUse": [{ "matcher": "Bash", "hooks": [{ "type": "command", "command": "./skills/self-improvement/scripts/error-detector.sh" }] }] } } ``` ### Available Hook Scripts | Script | Hook Type | Purpose | |--------|-----------|---------| | `scripts/activator.sh` | UserPromptSubmit | Reminds to evaluate learnings after tasks | | `scripts/error-detector.sh` | PostToolUse (Bash) | Triggers on command errors | See `references/hooks-setup.md` for detailed configuration and troubleshooting. ## Automatic Skill Extraction When a learning is valuable enough to become a reusable skill, extract it using the provided helper. ### Skill Extraction Criteria A learning qualifies for skill extraction when ANY of these apply: | Criterion | Description | |-----------|-------------| | **Recurring** | Has `See Also` links to 2+ similar issues | | **Verified** | Status is `resolved` with working fix | | **Non-obvious** | Required actual debugging/investigation to discover | | **Broadly applicable** | Not project-specific; useful across codebases | | **User-flagged** | User says "save this as a skill" or similar | ### Extraction Workflow 1. **Identify candidate**: Learning meets extraction criteria 2. **Run helper** (or create manually): ```bash ./skills/self-improvement/scripts/extract-skill.sh skill-name --dry-run ./skills/self-improvement/scripts/extract-skill.sh skill-name ``` 3. **Customize SKILL.md**: Fill in template with learning content 4. **Update learning**: Set status to `promoted_to_skill`, add `Skill-Path` 5. **Verify**: Read skill in fresh session to ensure it's self-contained ### Manual Extraction If you prefer manual creation: 1. Create `skills/<skill-name>/SKILL.md` 2. Use template from `assets/SKILL-TEMPLATE.md` 3. Follow [Agent Skills spec](https://agentskills.io/specification): - YAML frontmatter with `name` and `description` - Name must match folder name - No README.md inside skill folder ### Extraction Detection Triggers Watch for these signals that a learning should become a skill: **In conversation:** - "Save this as a skill" - "I keep running into this" - "This would be useful for other projects" - "Remember this pattern" **In learning entries:** - Multiple `See Also` links (recurring issue) - High priority + resolved status - Category: `best_practice` with broad applicability - User feedback praising the solution ### Skill Quality Gates Before extraction, verify: - [ ] Solution is tested and working - [ ] Description is clear without original context - [ ] Code examples are self-contained - [ ] No project-specific hardcoded values - [ ] Follows skill naming conventions (lowercase, hyphens) ## Multi-Agent Support This skill works across different AI coding agents with agent-specific activation. ### Claude Code **Activation**: Hooks (UserPromptSubmit, PostToolUse) **Setup**: `.claude/settings.json` with hook configuration **Detection**: Automatic via hook scripts ### Codex CLI **Activation**: Hooks (same pattern as Claude Code) **Setup**: `.codex/settings.json` with hook configuration **Detection**: Automatic via hook scripts ### GitHub Copilot **Activation**: Manual (no hook support) **Setup**: Add to `.github/copilot-instructions.md`: ```markdown ## Self-Improvement After solving non-obvious issues, consider logging to `.learnings/`: 1. Use format from self-improvement skill 2. Link related entries with See Also 3. Promote high-value learnings to skills Ask in chat: "Should I log this as a learning?" ``` **Detection**: Manual review at session end ### OpenClaw **Activation**: Workspace injection + inter-agent messaging **Setup**: See "OpenClaw Setup" section above **Detection**: Via session tools and workspace files ### Agent-Agnostic Guidance Regardless of agent, apply self-improvement when you: 1. **Discover something non-obvious** - solution wasn't immediate 2. **Correct yourself** - initial approach was wrong 3. **Learn project conventions** - discovered undocumented patterns 4. **Hit unexpected errors** - especially if diagnosis was difficult 5. **Find better approaches** - improved on your original solution ### Copilot Chat Integration For Copilot users, add this to your prompts when relevant: > After completing this task, evaluate if any learnings should be logged to `.learnings/` using the self-improvement skill format. Or use quick prompts: - "Log this to learnings" - "Create a skill from this solution" - "Check .learnings/ for related issues"

# Self-Improvement Hook

Injects a reminder to evaluate learnings during agent bootstrap.

## What It Does

- Fires on `agent:bootstrap` (before workspace files are injected)
- Adds a reminder block to check `.learnings/` for relevant entries
- Prompts the agent to log corrections, errors, and discoveries

## Configuration

No configuration needed. Enable with:

```bash
openclaw hooks enable self-improvement
```


path: hooks/openclaw/handler.js
content: /**
 * Self-Improvement Hook for OpenClaw
 * 
 * Injects a reminder to evaluate learnings during agent bootstrap.
 * Fires on agent:bootstrap event before workspace files are injected.

const REMINDER_CONTENT = `
## Self-Improvement Reminder

After completing tasks, evaluate if any learnings should be captured:

**Log when:**
- User corrects you → \`.learnings/LEARNINGS.md\`
- Command/operation fails → \`.learnings/ERRORS.md\`
- User wants missing capability → \`.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md\`
- You discover your knowledge was wrong → \`.learnings/LEARNINGS.md\`
- You find a better approach → \`.learnings/LEARNINGS.md\`

**Promote when pattern is proven:**
- Behavioral patterns → \`SOUL.md\`
- Workflow improvements → \`AGENTS.md\`
- Tool gotchas → \`TOOLS.md\`

Keep entries simple: date, title, what happened, what to do differently.

## Learning: Correction

```markdown
## [LRN-20250115-001] correction

**Logged**: 2025-01-15T10:30:00Z
**Priority**: high
**Status**: pending
**Area**: tests

### Summary
Incorrectly assumed pytest fixtures are scoped to function by default

### Details
When writing test fixtures, I assumed all fixtures were function-scoped. 
User corrected that while function scope is the default, the codebase 
convention uses module-scoped fixtures for database connections to 
improve test performance.

### Suggested Action
When creating fixtures that involve expensive setup (DB, network), 
check existing fixtures for scope patterns before defaulting to function scope.

### Summary
Project uses pnpm not npm for package management

### Details
Attempted to run `npm install` but project uses pnpm workspaces.
Lock file is `pnpm-lock.yaml`, not `package-lock.json`.

### Suggested Action
Check for `pnpm-lock.yaml` or `pnpm-workspace.yaml` before assuming npm.
Use `pnpm install` for this project.

### Summary
API responses must include correlation ID from request headers

### Details
All API responses should echo back the X-Correlation-ID header from 
the request. This is required for distributed tracing. Responses 
without this header break the observability pipeline.

### Suggested Action
Always include correlation ID passthrough in API handlers.

### Summary
Must regenerate API client after OpenAPI spec changes

### Details
When modifying API endpoints, the TypeScript client must be regenerated.
Forgetting this causes type mismatches that only appear at runtime.
The generate script also runs validation.

### Suggested Action
Add to agent workflow: after any API changes, run `pnpm run generate:api`.

### Summary
Docker build fails on Apple Silicon due to platform mismatch

### Details
When building Docker images on M1/M2 Macs, the build fails because
the base image doesn't have an ARM64 variant. This is a common issue
that affects many developers.

### Suggested Action
Add `--platform linux/amd64` to docker build command, or use
`FROM --platform=linux/amd64` in Dockerfile.

### Metadata

# Docker M1 Fixes

Solutions for Docker build issues on Apple Silicon Macs.

## Quick Reference

| Error | Fix |
|-------|-----|
| `no match for platform linux/arm64` | Add `--platform linux/amd64` to build |
| Image runs but crashes | Use emulation or find ARM-compatible base |

## The Problem

Many Docker base images don't have ARM64 variants. When building on
Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3), Docker attempts to pull ARM64 images by
default, causing platform mismatch errors.

## Solutions

### Option 1: Build Flag (Recommended)

Add platform flag to your build command:

\`\`\`bash
docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t myapp .
\`\`\`

### Option 2: Dockerfile Modification

Specify platform in the FROM instruction:

\`\`\`dockerfile
FROM --platform=linux/amd64 python:3.11-slim
\`\`\`

### Option 3: Docker Compose

Add platform to your service:

\`\`\`yaml
services:
  app:
    platform: linux/amd64
    build: .
\`\`\`

## Trade-offs

| Approach | Pros | Cons |
|----------|------|------|
| Build flag | No file changes | Must remember flag |
| Dockerfile | Explicit, versioned | Affects all builds |
| Compose | Convenient for dev | Requires compose |

## Performance Note

Running AMD64 images on ARM64 uses Rosetta 2 emulation. This works
for development but may be slower. For production, find ARM-native
alternatives when possible.

path: references/hooks-setup.md
content: # Hook Setup Guide

Configure automatic self-improvement triggers for AI coding agents.

## Overview

Hooks enable proactive learning capture by injecting reminders at key moments:
- **UserPromptSubmit**: Reminder after each prompt to evaluate learnings
- **PostToolUse (Bash)**: Error detection when commands fail

## Claude Code Setup

### Option 1: Project-Level Configuration

Create `.claude/settings.json` in your project root:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "PostToolUse": [
      {
        "matcher": "Bash",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "./skills/self-improvement/scripts/error-detector.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

### Option 2: User-Level Configuration

Add to `~/.claude/settings.json` for global activation:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "~/.claude/skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

### Minimal Setup (Activator Only)

For lower overhead, use only the UserPromptSubmit hook:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

## Codex CLI Setup

Codex uses the same hook system as Claude Code. Create `.codex/settings.json`:

```json
{
  "hooks": {
    "UserPromptSubmit": [
      {
        "matcher": "",
        "hooks": [
          {
            "type": "command",
            "command": "./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh"
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

## GitHub Copilot Setup

Copilot doesn't support hooks directly. Instead, add guidance to `.github/copilot-instructions.md`:

```markdown
## Self-Improvement

After completing tasks that involved:
- Debugging non-obvious issues
- Discovering workarounds
- Learning project-specific patterns
- Resolving unexpected errors

Consider logging the learning to `.learnings/` using the format from the self-improvement skill.

For high-value learnings that would benefit other sessions, consider skill extraction.
```

## Verification

### Test Activator Hook

1. Enable the hook configuration
2. Start a new Claude Code session
3. Send any prompt
4. Verify you see `<self-improvement-reminder>` in the context

### Test Error Detector Hook

1. Enable PostToolUse hook for Bash
2. Run a command that fails: `ls /nonexistent/path`
3. Verify you see `<error-detected>` reminder

### Dry Run Extract Script

```bash
./skills/self-improvement/scripts/extract-skill.sh test-skill --dry-run
```

Expected output shows the skill scaffold that would be created.

## Troubleshooting

### Hook Not Triggering

1. **Check script permissions**: `chmod +x scripts/*.sh`
2. **Verify path**: Use absolute paths or paths relative to project root
3. **Check settings location**: Project vs user-level settings
4. **Restart session**: Hooks are loaded at session start

### Permission Denied

```bash
chmod +x ./skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh
chmod +x ./skills/self-improvement/scripts/error-detector.sh
chmod +x ./skills/self-improvement/scripts/extract-skill.sh
```

### Script Not Found

If using relative paths, ensure you're in the correct directory or use absolute paths:

```json
{
  "command": "/absolute/path/to/skills/self-improvement/scripts/activator.sh"
}
```

### Too Much Overhead

If the activator feels intrusive:

1. **Use minimal setup**: Only UserPromptSubmit, skip PostToolUse
2. **Add matcher filter**: Only trigger for certain prompts:

```json
{
  "matcher": "fix|debug|error|issue",
  "hooks": [...]
}
```

## Hook Output Budget

The activator is designed to be lightweight:
- **Target**: ~50-100 tokens per activation
- **Content**: Structured reminder, not verbose instructions
- **Format**: XML tags for easy parsing

If you need to reduce overhead further, you can edit `activator.sh` to output less text.

## Security Considerations

- Hook scripts run with the same permissions as Claude Code
- Scripts only output text; they don't modify files or run commands
- Error detector reads `CLAUDE_TOOL_OUTPUT` environment variable
- All scripts are opt-in (you must configure them explicitly)

## Disabling Hooks

To temporarily disable without removing configuration:

1. **Comment out in settings**:
```json
{
  "hooks": {
    // "UserPromptSubmit": [...]
  }
}
```

2. **Or delete the settings file**: Hooks won't run without configuration


path: references/openclaw-integration.md
content: # OpenClaw Integration

Complete setup and usage guide for integrating the self-improvement skill with OpenClaw.

## Overview

OpenClaw uses workspace-based prompt injection combined with event-driven hooks. Context is injected from workspace files at session start, and hooks can trigger on lifecycle events.

## Workspace Structure

```
~/.openclaw/                      
├── workspace/                   # Working directory
│   ├── AGENTS.md               # Multi-agent coordination patterns
│   ├── SOUL.md                 # Behavioral guidelines and personality
│   ├── TOOLS.md                # Tool capabilities and gotchas
│   ├── MEMORY.md               # Long-term memory (main session only)
│   └── memory/                 # Daily memory files
│       └── YYYY-MM-DD.md
├── skills/                      # Installed skills
│   └── <skill-name>/
│       └── SKILL.md
└── hooks/                       # Custom hooks
    └── <hook-name>/
        ├── HOOK.md
        └── handler.ts
```

## Quick Setup

### 1. Install the Skill

```bash
clawdhub install self-improving-agent
```

Or copy manually:

```bash
cp -r self-improving-agent ~/.openclaw/skills/
```

### 2. Install the Hook (Optional)

Copy the hook to OpenClaw's hooks directory:

```bash
cp -r hooks/openclaw ~/.openclaw/hooks/self-improvement
```

Enable the hook:

```bash
openclaw hooks enable self-improvement
```

### 3. Create Learning Files

Create the `.learnings/` directory in your workspace:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/workspace/.learnings
```

Or in the skill directory:

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/skills/self-improving-agent/.learnings
```

## Injected Prompt Files

### AGENTS.md

Purpose: Multi-agent workflows and delegation patterns.

```markdown
# Agent Coordination

## Delegation Rules
- Use explore agent for open-ended codebase questions
- Spawn sub-agents for long-running tasks
- Use sessions_send for cross-session communication

## Session Handoff
When delegating to another session:
1. Provide full context in the handoff message
2. Include relevant file paths
3. Specify expected output format
```

### SOUL.md

Purpose: Behavioral guidelines and communication style.

```markdown
# Behavioral Guidelines

## Communication Style
- Be direct and concise
- Avoid unnecessary caveats and disclaimers
- Use technical language appropriate to context

## Error Handling
- Admit mistakes promptly
- Provide corrected information immediately
- Log significant errors to learnings
```

### TOOLS.md

Purpose: Tool capabilities, integration gotchas, local configuration.

```markdown
# Tool Knowledge

## Self-Improvement Skill
Log learnings to `.learnings/` for continuous improvement.

## Local Tools
- Document tool-specific gotchas here
- Note authentication requirements
- Track integration quirks
```

## Learning Workflow

### Capturing Learnings

1. **In-session**: Log to `.learnings/` as usual
2. **Cross-session**: Promote to workspace files

### Promotion Decision Tree

```
Is the learning project-specific?
├── Yes → Keep in .learnings/
└── No → Is it behavioral/style-related?
    ├── Yes → Promote to SOUL.md
    └── No → Is it tool-related?
        ├── Yes → Promote to TOOLS.md
        └── No → Promote to AGENTS.md (workflow)
```

### Promotion Format Examples

**From learning:**
> Git push to GitHub fails without auth configured - triggers desktop prompt

**To TOOLS.md:**
```markdown
## Git
- Don't push without confirming auth is configured
- Use `gh auth status` to check GitHub CLI auth
```

## Inter-Agent Communication

OpenClaw provides tools for cross-session communication:

### sessions_list

View active and recent sessions:
```
sessions_list(activeMinutes=30, messageLimit=3)
```

### sessions_history

Read transcript from another session:
```
sessions_history(sessionKey="session-id", limit=50)
```

### sessions_send

Send message to another session:
```
sessions_send(sessionKey="session-id", message="Learning: API requires X-Custom-Header")
```

### sessions_spawn

Spawn a background sub-agent:
```
sessions_spawn(task="Research X and report back", label="research")
```

## Available Hook Events

| Event | When It Fires |
|-------|---------------|
| `agent:bootstrap` | Before workspace files inject |
| `command:new` | When `/new` command issued |
| `command:reset` | When `/reset` command issued |
| `command:stop` | When `/stop` command issued |
| `gateway:startup` | When gateway starts |

## Detection Triggers

### Standard Triggers
- User corrections ("No, that's wrong...")
- Command failures (non-zero exit codes)
- API errors
- Knowledge gaps

### OpenClaw-Specific Triggers

| Trigger | Action |
|---------|--------|
| Tool call error | Log to TOOLS.md with tool name |
| Session handoff confusion | Log to AGENTS.md with delegation pattern |
| Model behavior surprise | Log to SOUL.md with expected vs actual |
| Skill issue | Log to .learnings/ or report upstream |

## Verification

Check hook is registered:

```bash
openclaw hooks list
```

Check skill is loaded:

```bash
openclaw status
```

## Troubleshooting

### Hook not firing

1. Ensure hooks enabled in config
2. Restart gateway after config changes
3. Check gateway logs for errors

### Learnings not persisting

1. Verify `.learnings/` directory exists
2. Check file permissions
3. Ensure workspace path is configured correctly

### Skill not loading

1. Check skill is in skills directory
2. Verify SKILL.md has correct frontmatter
3. Run `openclaw status` to see loaded skills
