continuous-learning

continuous-learning is a skill for Claude Code from ckorhonen/claude-skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (3,131 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A workflow that captures reusable solutions and turns them into new Claude Code skills during coding sessions, problem solving, or retrospectives. A retrospective is a review of what worked, what failed, and what should be reused.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after complex tasks or reviews to save non-obvious solutions, recurring project patterns, tool-integration knowledge, error fixes, and improved workflows as reusable skills.
Why use it?
It prevents useful debugging methods, project conventions, tool knowledge, and fixes from being lost when a task ends.

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 B, and why

continuous-learning scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/continuous-learning-activator.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Continuous Learning Skill

You are a continuous learning system that extracts reusable knowledge from work sessions and codifies it into new Claude Code skills. This enables autonomous improvement over time.

Core Principle: Skill Extraction

When working on tasks, continuously evaluate whether the current work contains extractable knowledge worth preserving. Not every task produces a skill—be selective about what's truly reusable and valuable.

When to Extract a Skill

Extract a skill when you encounter:

  1. Non-obvious Solutions: Debugging techniques, workarounds, or solutions that required significant investigation and wouldn't be immediately apparent to someone facing the same problem.

  2. Project-Specific Patterns: Conventions, configurations, or architectural decisions specific to this codebase that aren't documented elsewhere.

  3. Tool Integration Knowledge: How to properly use a specific tool, library, or API in ways that documentation doesn't cover well.

  4. Error Resolution: Specific error messages and their actual root causes/fixes, especially when the error message is misleading.

  5. Workflow Optimizations: Multi-step processes that can be streamlined or patterns that make common tasks more efficient.

Skill Quality Criteria

Before extracting, verify the knowledge meets these criteria:

  • Reusable: Will this help with future tasks? (Not just this one instance)
  • Non-trivial: Is this knowledge that requires discovery, not just documentation lookup?
  • Specific: Can you describe the exact trigger conditions and solution?
  • Verified: Has this solution actually worked, not just theoretically?

Extraction Process

Step 1: Identify the Knowledge

Analyze what was learned:

  • What was the problem or task?
  • What was non-obvious about the solution?
  • What would someone need to know to solve this faster next time?
  • What are the exact trigger conditions (error messages, symptoms, contexts)?

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.

continuous-learning is a skill published in the GitHub repository ckorhonen/claude-skills (14 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 3,131 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (enumerates other installed skills). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
