What Does This Skill Do
One sentence: Let AI remember its mistakes and avoid repeating them.
OpenClaw self-improving-agent automatically records failures, user corrections, and better approaches to .learnings/LEARNINGS.md. Over time, your Agent learns your habits.
Installation
clawhub install self-improving-agentTrigger Conditions
- Command or operation fails unexpectedly
- User corrects AI (No, it should be...)
- User requests a capability that doesnt exist
- External API or tool fails
- AI realizes knowledge is outdated or incorrect
- A better approach is discovered
Use Cases
Case 1: Failed Command—API requires special header, AI remembers after first failure.
Case 2: User Correction—User says use xiaohuolong not dragonlord, skill records it.
Case 3: Better Approach—web_fetch is better than web_search for single page extraction.
Lessons Learned
Issue 1: File grows too large—Clean up monthly, merge duplicates.
Issue 2: Outdated learnings—Mark with [DEPRECATED 2026-03] instead of deleting.
Issue 3: Sensitive data leak—Never store passwords or API keys in learnings! Use projects/security/ directory.
SFD Lab Usage
Xiao Hu Li records CMS API pitfalls, Xiao Mi Feng records deployment issues, Xiao Lie Ying records security rules, Xiao Ci Wei records verification steps.
400+ learnings in 2 months, new Agent onboarding reduced from 3 days to 3 hours.
SFD Editor Note
self-improving-agent is one of our most-used skills. Key: regularly review learnings and promote temporary经验 to permanent rules in SOUL.md or AGENTS.md.
