self-improvement
Captures learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails, (5) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (6) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task. Also review learnings before major tasks.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill self-improving-agent-yongjianwan-agentskill --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Self-Improvement Skill Log learnings and errors to markdown files for continuous improvement. Coding agents can later process these into fixes, and important learnings get promoted to project memory. ## Quick Reference | Situation | Action | |-----------|--------| | Command/operation fails | Log to `.learnings/ERRORS.md` | | User corrects you | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `correction` | | User wants missing feature | Log to `.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` | | API/external tool fails | Log to `.learnings/ERRORS.md` with integration details | | Knowledge was outdated | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `knowledge_gap` | | Found better approach | Log to `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` with category `best_practice` | | Similar to existing entry | Link with `**See Also**`, consider priority bump | | Broadly applicable learning | Promote to `CLAUDE.md`, `AGENTS.md`, and/or `.github/copilot-instructions.md` | | Workflow improvements | Promote to `AGENTS.md` (OpenClaw workspace) | | Tool gotchas | Promote to `TOOLS.md` (OpenClaw workspace) | | Behavioral patterns | Promote to `SOUL.md` (OpenClaw workspace) | ## OpenClaw Setup (Recommended) OpenClaw is the prima

What does the self-improvement skill do?
Captures learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails, (5) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (6) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill self-improving-agent-yongjianwan-agentskill --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
