Extract reusable patterns from sessions and save them as learned skills for future use.
## How It Works
This skill analyzes the session transcript to identify extractable patterns:
1. **Session Evaluation**: Checks if session has enough messages (default: 10+)
2. **Pattern Detection**: Identifies error resolutions, workarounds, debugging techniques
3. **Skill Extraction**: Saves useful patterns to `~/.claude/skills/learned/`
## When to Use
- At end of long sessions with multiple problem-solving cycles
- After resolving complex errors that might recur
- When you develop project-specific conventions
## Invocation
Use `/learn` command or invoke directly:
```
/continuous-learning
```
## Configuration
Edit `config.json` to customize:
```json
{
“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”
]
}
```
## 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 |
## Learned Skills Format
Extracted skills are saved as markdown files:
```
~/.claude/skills/learned/
├── fix-marimo-import-error.md
├── debug-pixi-environment.md
└── wrds-connection-pattern.md
```
Each learned skill follows standard SKILL.md format with:
- Name and description
- Problem context
- Solution pattern
- Example usage
## Integration
The skill reads from `CLAUDE_TRANSCRIPT_PATH` (JSON conversation transcript)
which is automatically set by Claude Code during sessions.
