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:
- •User Preferences - Working style, communication preferences, tool preferences
- •Agent Failure Patterns - Mistakes Claude made, misunderstandings, approaches that didn't work
- •Project Technical Patterns - Code patterns, architecture decisions, project-specific conventions
- •Reusable Workflows - Multi-step procedures that could become skills
- •Reference Knowledge - Architectural decisions, domain knowledge, API behaviors
Step 2: Categorize by Destination
Map each learning to its appropriate destination:
| Learning Type | Destination | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| User preferences | ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md | Applies across all projects |
| Agent failure patterns | ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md | Prevents repeating mistakes globally |
| Project technical patterns | Project CLAUDE.md | Project-specific guidance |
| Reusable workflows | New skill | Procedural knowledge for reuse |
| Reference knowledge | Project docs/ folder | Documentation for future reference |
Step 3: Check for Conflicts
Before presenting findings, check if any learning contradicts existing content:
- •Read the target file (user CLAUDE.md, project CLAUDE.md, or relevant docs)
- •Identify any conflicts between new learnings and existing content
- •Flag conflicts explicitly for user decision
Step 4: Present Findings
Present findings grouped by destination. For each group:
- •State the destination file path
- •List each learning with a brief description (1-2 sentences)
- •If conflicts exist, show:
- •The existing content
- •The proposed new content
- •Ask user to choose: keep existing, replace with new, or merge
Format:
code
## 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:
- •For CLAUDE.md files: Append to appropriate section, or create section if needed
- •For docs/: Create or update the markdown file
- •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"
