learning-loop-skill CLAUDE.md

A maintenance guide for the Learning-Loop skill, which records lessons and decisions from development sessions. It requires changes to the skill instructions to be accompanied by an entry in SESSION_LOG.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when modifying the Learning-Loop skill and documenting the problem, investigation, decision, and files changed during that session.
Why use it?
It preserves the reasons behind changes, not just the changes themselves. This reduces repeated investigation and helps future maintainers understand earlier decisions.

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

learning-loop-skill CLAUDE.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 3d ago.

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.

Learning-Loop Skill: Development Conventions

For Claude: Follow these conventions when modifying this skill.

Mandatory: Update SESSION_LOG.md

Every time you modify SKILL.md, you MUST also update SESSION_LOG.md.

What to Document

  1. What problem you were solving — Why was this change needed?
  2. What you investigated — What approaches did you consider or try?
  3. What you discovered — Any non-obvious findings, especially failures
  4. What you decided — The choice made and its rationale
  5. What changed — Summary of files/sections modified

SESSION_LOG Entry Template

## Session: [Date] — [Brief Title]

### Context
[Why this session happened, what triggered it]

### Problem
[What wasn't working or what needed to change]

### Investigation (if applicable)
[What approaches were tried, what was discovered]

### Decision
[What was decided and why]

### Changes Made
| File | Change |
|------|--------|
| SKILL.md | [What changed] |
| ... | ... |

Why This Matters

Git commits show what changed. SESSION_LOG shows why.

Without SESSION_LOG, future sessions might:

  • Re-investigate already-settled questions
  • Revert intentional design decisions
  • Lose context about failed approaches

Mandatory: Commit and Push

After updating both SKILL.md and SESSION_LOG.md:

  1. Stage both files:

    git add SKILL.md SESSION_LOG.md
    
  2. Commit with descriptive message:

    git commit -m "Brief description of change
    
    [Optional: Key decision or finding]
    
    Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <[email protected]>"
    
  3. Push to origin:

    git push
    

File Purposes

File Purpose When to Update
SKILL.md The skill logic itself When behavior changes
SESSION_LOG.md Reasoning trail Every time SKILL.md changes
README.md User-facing docs When usage/installation changes
CLAUDE.md Development conventions Rarely (this 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.
