# lessons output preview
## PART A: Task fit
- Use case: Record a lesson learned after a user correction, or review existing lessons at session start Manages the self-improvement loop. Use this skill when: All lessons live in .claude/lessons.local.md. runs entirely locally. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and 23 more..
- Inputs: target material, constraints, expected output, and acceptance criteria.
- Evidence boundary: follow “Lesson file / Workflow: Recording a Lesson / Step 1: Read the current lessons file” and do not present inference as author intent.
## PART B: Execution result
- **01** The card summarizes the use case; runtime output centers on “Record a lesson learned after a user correction, or review existing lessons at session start Manages the self-improvement loop. Use this skill when: All lessons live in .claude/lessons.local.md. runs entirely locally. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, Cline and 23 more.”.
- **02** When the source has headings, the agent prioritizes “Lesson file / Workflow: Recording a Lesson / Step 1: Read the current lessons file” so the result follows the author’s structure.
- **03** Typical output includes task judgment, concrete steps, required commands or file edits, validation, and follow-up options.
- **04** Risk context follows the fingerprint: read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
## Running Rules
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding scope.
- Return the result, validation criteria, and next iteration options. The source does not require a stable slash command. After installation, invoke the skill by name and describe the task.
Name target files or source material, expected output, forbidden changes, and whether network or shell access is allowed. Permission fingerprint: read files, write/modify files.
Start with a small task and check whether the result follows “Lesson file / Workflow: Recording a Lesson / Step 1: Read the current lessons file”. Inspect diffs, logs, previews, or tests before expanding scope.
Confirm the final output includes a concrete result, evidence, and next action. If it stays generic, tighten inputs, boundaries, and acceptance criteria.

# lessons
## When to use
- Record a lesson learned after a user correction, or review existing lessons at session start Manages the self-improvem…
- Use it when the task has clear inputs, repeatable steps, and validation criteria.
## What to provide
- Target material, scope, expected result, and forbidden changes.
- Whether network, commands, file writes, or external services are allowed.
## Execution rules
- Organize steps around “Lesson file / Workflow: Recording a Lesson / Step 1: Read the current lessons file” and keep inference separate from source facts.
- read files, write/modify files; mostly runs locally; usually needs no extra API key.
- Validate with a small sample before expanding the task.
## Output requirements
- Return the deliverable, key evidence, validation method, and next action.
- Mark missing information as unknown; do not invent commands, platforms, or dependencies. The author source anchors workflow facts; repository files anchor sources and commands; Fluxly only adds fit, limitations, and quality judgment.
skill "lessons" {
input -> user goal + target files + boundaries + acceptance criteria
context -> Lesson file / Workflow: Recording a Lesson / Step 1: Read the current lessons file
rules -> SKILL.md triggers / order / output contract
runtime -> no special runtime | read files, write/modify files | mostly runs locally
guardrails -> usually needs no extra API key + small-sample validation + diff/log review
output -> copyable result + checklist + next iteration
} Lessons Skill
Manages the self-improvement loop. Use this skill when:
- The user corrects a mistake or gives feedback that should change future behavior
- You want to review past lessons at the start of a session
- After completing a task, to capture any patterns worth preserving
Lesson file
All lessons live in .claude/lessons.local.md.
Workflow: Recording a Lesson
Step 1: Read the current lessons file
cat .claude/lessons.local.md
Step 2: Identify the lesson
From the user correction, extract:
- Mistake: What went wrong (be specific, not generic)
- Pattern: The concrete rule to apply going forward
- Trigger: The condition that should activate this rule
Step 3: Append the entry
Add a new entry at the bottom of .claude/lessons.local.md, above the closing comment:
## 2026-03-17 — [short title]
**Mistake**: [What went wrong]
**Pattern**: [Rule to apply going forward]
**Trigger**: [When to apply this rule]
Use absolute dates (YYYY-MM-DD), never relative ("today", "last week").
Step 4: Confirm
Report the new entry to the user briefly:
Lesson recorded: [short title]
Workflow: Reviewing Lessons
At the start of a session, or when asked:
- Read
.claude/lessons.local.md - Identify lessons relevant to the current task
- Internalize them — do not re-state them all back to the user unless asked
- Apply them silently
Workflow: Pruning Lessons
Lessons become stale when:
- They reference a pattern that's been fixed in the code
- They duplicate another lesson
- They're too generic to be actionable
When pruning, remove the entry entirely. Don't leave tombstones.
Rules
- Never invent a lesson that wasn't triggered by an actual correction
- Be specific: "always read the file before editing" is better than "be careful"
- One lesson per entry — don't bundle unrelated corrections together
- Update an existing lesson if a correction refines a known pattern rather than creating a duplicate
