adev:learn

A way to save a user-provided lesson or rule in the project's memory so it can be used in later sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when someone says to remember a lesson, pattern, or rule. It can also list, strengthen, weaken, or archive stored heuristics.
Why use it?
It prevents useful knowledge from being forgotten between sessions and turns informal advice into a stored rule.

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

adev:learn 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Capture a Heuristic

Explicit user-driven capture of lessons the automated lifecycle missed. Takes a free-text lesson and distills it into a structured heuristic entry in .context-index/memory/heuristics/.

Announce at start: "I'm using the /adev:learn skill to capture this lesson as a heuristic."

Arguments

  • (positional): Free-text lesson or rule. Examples:
    • /adev:learn "always run tests before committing hook changes"
    • /adev:learn "the repomap parser chokes on re-exports — use named exports"
  • --module <module>: Target module scope (e.g., hooks, cli). If omitted, infer from context or ask.
  • --anti-pattern <text>: Explicit counter-rule ("don't do this"). If omitted, attempt to derive one.
  • --list: List all heuristics, optionally filtered by --module.
  • --promote <id>: Promote a heuristic's confidence one level up.
  • --demote <id>: Demote a heuristic's confidence one level down.
  • --archive <id> --reason <text>: Archive a heuristic with a reason.

Prerequisites

  1. .context-index/ must exist. If not, stop and suggest /adev:init.
  2. The adev plugin's lib/heuristics.mjs must be accessible (it provides the storage API). Derive the plugin root from this skill file's base directory by stripping the skills/<name>/ suffix. Use <ADEV_ROOT>/lib/heuristics.mjs for imports.

Step 1: Parse Input

If the user provided a positional argument, use it as the raw lesson text.

If no argument was provided, ask:

What lesson should I capture? Describe:
- What to do (or what not to do)
- Why (what went wrong or what worked)

Wait for the user's response.

Load Skill Extensions: Load any skill extension instructions before proceeding:

adev skill-ext load --skill learn

If the output is not __NONE__, incorporate it as additional standing instructions that apply to this skill's entire execution. Frame it as: "The following skill extension instructions apply to this invocation (source: installed domain extensions and/or project-level overrides)." If the output is __NONE__, continue normally.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.

adev:learn is a skill published in the GitHub repository agentic-development/adev-plugin (11 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 2,392 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
