name: continuous-learning description: Automatically extract reusable patterns from Claude Code sessions and save them as learned skills for future use.

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:

Session Evaluation: Checks if session has enough messages (default: 10+)
Pattern Detection: Identifies extractable patterns from the session
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
