compound-learning

compound-learning is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from chankov/agent-fleet. It costs 91 tokens per session (2,265 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for turning lessons from a completed coding session into small updates to the project's rules and documentation. It removes duplicates and keeps only lessons supported by session evidence.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after user corrections, recurring review findings, or difficult debugging work, or when asked to compound lessons or update project rules.
Why use it?
It prevents repeated corrections and discoveries from being forgotten while avoiding a bloated rule set that becomes hard to use.

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

compound-learning 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 1mo 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.

Compound Learning

Overview

Every session produces knowledge that is more durable than the diff: corrections the user had to make twice, review findings that keep recurring, root causes that took an hour to find, assumptions that turned out wrong. When the session ends, that knowledge evaporates — and the next session pays for it again.

This skill is the compound step: it converts session evidence into small, deduplicated updates to the project's own rule tree (HOW — compliance) and documentation (WHAT/WHY — orientation), so each session makes the next one better.

The enemy is not missing lessons — it is bloat. A rule tree that grows by five generic rules per session becomes noise that future sessions skim past. Every part of this process is biased toward fewer, sharper updates on existing files: the default verdict for any candidate lesson is "not worth keeping".

When to Use

  • A session is wrapping up and it contained at least one correction, recurring finding, or hard-won discovery.
  • The user says "compound", "capture the lessons", "update the rules from this session", or runs a /compound command.
  • You are the documenter persona dispatched with a compound task by the agent-hub dispatcher.
  • Periodically, as a consolidation pass over a rule tree that has accumulated additions (see Step 8).

When NOT to use: mid-task (finish the work first — compounding interrupts flow and the evidence isn't complete); after a trivial session with nothing corrected or discovered; to document what the code or git history already records.

Where Evidence and Targets Live

Evidence — read what exists, skip what doesn't:

Source Where
Session conversation User corrections, "no, do it this way", decisions, rejected approaches
Session diff git diff / git log for the session's commits
agent-hub artifacts .pi/agent-sessions/artifacts/{returns,reviews,plans,inventories,evidence}/ — specialist returns and review findings
agent-hub assertion ledger .pi/agent-sessions/assertions.json — which assertions failed first and why
Dispatch brief A /compound dispatch carries a candidate-lessons brief composed by the dispatcher — treat it as candidates, not conclusions

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.

compound-learning is a skill published in the GitHub repository chankov/agent-fleet (19 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 91 tokens to every session and 2,265 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
