continuous-learning-v2

An automatic learning workflow that records small reusable behaviours, called instincts, from coding-agent sessions. It can organise these behaviours into skills, commands, or agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure learning hooks, review or share instinct libraries, adjust confidence settings, and evolve instincts into reusable agent components.
Why use it?
It helps retain useful working patterns instead of relying on each new session to rediscover them. Confidence scores help distinguish stronger observations from weaker ones.

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-v2 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 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.

Continuous Learning v2 - Instinct-Based Architecture

An advanced learning system that turns your Claude Code sessions into reusable knowledge through atomic "instincts" - small learned behaviors with confidence scoring.

Inspired in part by the Homunculus work from humanplane.

When to Activate

  • Setting up automatic learning from Claude Code sessions
  • Configuring instinct-based behavior extraction via hooks
  • Tuning confidence thresholds for learned behaviors
  • Reviewing, exporting, or importing instinct libraries
  • Evolving instincts into full skills, commands, or agents

What's New in v2

Feature v1 v2
Observation Stop hook (session end) PreToolUse/PostToolUse (100% reliable)
Analysis Main context Background agent (Haiku)
Granularity Full skills Atomic "instincts"
Confidence None 0.3-0.9 weighted
Evolution Direct to skill Instincts → cluster → skill/command/agent
Sharing None Export/import instincts

The Instinct Model

An instinct is a small learned behavior:

---
id: prefer-functional-style
trigger: "when writing new functions"
confidence: 0.7
domain: "code-style"
source: "session-observation"
---

# Prefer Functional Style

## Action
Use functional patterns over classes when appropriate.

## Evidence
- Observed 5 instances of functional pattern preference
- User corrected class-based approach to functional on 2025-01-15

Properties:

  • Atomic — one trigger, one action
  • Confidence-weighted — 0.3 = tentative, 0.9 = near certain
  • Domain-tagged — code-style, testing, git, debugging, workflow, etc.
  • Evidence-backed — tracks what observations created it

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.

continuous-learning-v2 is a skill published in the GitHub repository cloud99277/KitClaw (5 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 2,096 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). It is 91% identical to continuous-learning-v2, differing in 10 lines, and is treated as a copy.
