nyrve learnings.instructions.md

Instructions for recording general lessons learned from mistakes or corrections in instruction files.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them after a user asks the agent to learn from a recent exchange and add the resulting lesson to the appropriate instructions.
Why use it?
They help preserve useful working practices so the same problem is less likely to happen again.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nyrve learnings.instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to vscode learnings.instructions.md — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

This document describes how to deal with learnings that you make. It is a meta-instruction file.

Structure of learnings:

  • Each instruction file has a "Learnings" section.
  • Each learning has a 1-4 sentences description of the learning.

Example:

## Learnings
* Prefer `const` over `let` whenever possible
* Avoid `any` type

When the user tells you "learn!", you should:

  • extract a learning from the recent conversation
    • identify the problem that you created
    • identify why it was a problem
    • identify how you were told to fix it/how the user fixed it
    • reflect over it, maybe it can be generalized? Avoid too specific learnings.
  • create a learning (1-4 sentences) from that
    • Write this out to the user and reflect over these sentences
    • then, add the reflected learning to the "Learnings" section of the most appropriate instruction file

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
