Session Learner

Analyze the current session to extract learnings and persist them to appropriate locations.

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Session

Review the entire conversation to identify learnings in these categories:

  1. User Preferences - Working style, communication preferences, tool preferences
  2. Agent Failure Patterns - Mistakes Claude made, misunderstandings, approaches that didn't work
  3. Project Technical Patterns - Code patterns, architecture decisions, project-specific conventions
  4. Reusable Workflows - Multi-step procedures that could become skills
  5. Reference Knowledge - Architectural decisions, domain knowledge, API behaviors

Step 2: Categorize by Destination

Map each learning to its appropriate destination:

Learning TypeDestinationRationale
User preferences~/.claude/CLAUDE.mdApplies across all projects
Agent failure patterns~/.claude/CLAUDE.mdPrevents repeating mistakes globally
Project technical patternsProject CLAUDE.mdProject-specific guidance
Reusable workflowsNew skillProcedural knowledge for reuse
Reference knowledgeProject docs/ folderDocumentation for future reference

Step 3: Check for Conflicts

Before presenting findings, check if any learning contradicts existing content:

  1. Read the target file (user CLAUDE.md, project CLAUDE.md, or relevant docs)
  2. Identify any conflicts between new learnings and existing content
  3. Flag conflicts explicitly for user decision

Step 4: Present Findings

Present findings grouped by destination. For each group:

  1. State the destination file path
  2. List each learning with a brief description (1-2 sentences)
  3. If conflicts exist, show:
    • The existing content
    • The proposed new content
    • Ask user to choose: keep existing, replace with new, or merge

Format:

## Learnings for ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

1. [Brief description of learning]
2. [Brief description of learning]

⚠️ CONFLICT: [description]
   Existing: [current content]
   Proposed: [new content]
   Keep existing / Replace / Merge?

## Learnings for [project]/CLAUDE.md

1. [Brief description of learning]

## Learnings for [project]/docs/

1. [Brief description] → docs/[filename].md

## Potential New Skill

1. [Workflow name]: [brief description]

Step 5: Apply Approved Learnings

After user approves (or modifies) findings:

  1. For CLAUDE.md files: Append to appropriate section, or create section if needed
  2. For docs/: Create or update the markdown file
  3. For new skills: Offer to create using the skill-creator skill

Guidelines

  • Keep learnings concise and actionable
  • Prefer specific examples over abstract principles
  • Do not duplicate information already in target files
  • When uncertain about destination, ask the user to choose
  • Learnings should be evergreen - no temporal references like "today we learned"
