Self Improving Agent

Self-Improving Agent

Auto-memory captures. This plugin curates.

A Claude Code plugin that turns auto-memory into a structured self-improvement loop. Analyze what Claude has learned, promote proven patterns to enforced rules, and extract recurring solutions into reusable skills.

Why

Claude Code's auto-memory (v2.1.32+) automatically records project patterns in MEMORY.md. But it has no judgment about what to keep, what to promote, or when entries go stale. This plugin adds the intelligence layer.

The difference:

• MEMORY.md: "I noticed this project uses pnpm" (background note, truncated at 200 lines)
• CLAUDE.md: "Use pnpm, not npm" (enforced instruction, loaded in full)

Promoting a pattern from memory to rules fundamentally changes how Claude treats it.

Commands

Command	What it does
/si:review	Analyze auto-memory — find promotion candidates, stale entries, health metrics
/si:promote	Graduate a pattern from MEMORY.md → CLAUDE.md or .claude/rules/
/si:extract	Turn a recurring pattern into a standalone reusable skill
/si:status	Memory health dashboard — line counts, capacity, recommendations
/si:remember	Explicitly save important knowledge to auto-memory

Install

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add alirezarezvani/claude-skills
/plugin install self-improving-agent@claude-code-skills

OpenClaw

clawhub install self-improving-agent

Codex CLI

./scripts/codex-install.sh --skill self-improving-agent

How It Works

Claude discovers pattern → auto-memory (MEMORY.md)
         ↓
Pattern recurs 2-3x → /si:review flags it
         ↓
You approve → /si:promote graduates it to CLAUDE.md
         ↓
Pattern becomes enforced rule, memory entry removed
         ↓
Space freed for new learnings

What's Included

Component	Count	Description
Skills	5	review, promote, extract, status, remember
Agents	2	memory-analyst, skill-extractor
Hooks	1	PostToolUse error capture (zero overhead on success)
Reference docs	3	memory architecture, promotion rules, rules directory patterns
Templates	2	rule template, skill template

Design Principles

1. Don't fight auto-memory — orchestrate it. Auto-memory captures. This plugin curates.
2. No duplicate storage. Reads from ~/.claude/projects/ directly. No .learnings/ directory.
3. Zero capture overhead. Auto-memory handles capture. Hook only fires on errors.
4. Promotion = graduation. Moving a pattern from MEMORY.md to CLAUDE.md changes its priority.
5. Respect the 200-line limit. Actively manages MEMORY.md capacity.

Credits

Inspired by pskoett/self-improving-agent — a structured learning loop for AI coding agents. This plugin builds on that concept by integrating natively with Claude Code's auto-memory system.
