Agent Learning Log

**Priority: P1 (HIGH)**

Write structured mistake entry to `AGENTS_LEARNING.md` in project root before retrying any corrected action.

Protocol

1. **Detect signal** — identify which surface triggered this skill:

  • `Pre-write violation` — `common-feedback-reporter` violation block emitted with `Auto-fixed: YES`
  • `User correction` — user used correction language mid-session
  • `Session retrospective` — correction loop found during `common-session-retrospective`

2. **Read `AGENTS_LEARNING.md`** — count existing `## Agent Learning Log: Iteration` headers → N 3. **Append entry** — write Iteration #(N+1) using format in [Log Entry Format](references/log-format.md) 4. **Continue** — proceed with corrected action (non-blocking)

Guidelines

  • **One entry per correction event** — not one per file or per task
  • **Concrete mistakes only** — name specific file, rule, or action that wrong
  • ** "Better Approach" must actionable** — state what to , not what to avoid
  • **Create file if missing** — bootstrap with header from [Log Entry Format](references/log-format.md)
  • **Never skip for "minor" corrections** — all corrections learning signals

Anti-Patterns

  • **No vague mistakes**: `"I made a mistake"` → name specific pattern or rule violated
  • **No skipping log**: Even if already in hurry to fix, append entry first (it takes <10 seconds)
  • **No duplicate entries**: One correction event = one entry, even if multiple files affected
  • **No overwriting**: Always append to bottom; never edit past entries

References

  • [Log Entry Format](references/log-format.md) — full entry template + AGENTS_LEARNING.md bootstrap
