Autonomous Lesson Learning

Run an autonomous work loop that gets smarter every iteration. This skill is pure orchestration: it combines the loop patterns from continuous-agent-loop / autonomous-loops with the lesson_recall, lesson_save, and lesson_reinforce tools from the egc-memory MCP server. It does not reimplement loops and it does not add a new lesson store.

Works in any harness that has the egc-memory MCP server registered (all EGC Tier 1/2/3 targets). Nothing here is platform-specific: the loop is plain instruction-following and the memory calls are standard MCP tool calls.

When to Activate

• Running a long multi-iteration task autonomously (fix all lint errors, raise coverage, burn down an issue list) where repeating a known mistake is expensive
• Resuming a class of work that has failed before and the failure modes are worth remembering across sessions
• Any continuous-agent-loop pattern (Sequential Pipeline, Continuous PR Loop) where you also want cross-session learning

Use a plain loop (/loop-start, continuous-agent-loop) instead when the task is one-off, trivial, or exploratory throwaway work where lessons would be noise.

The Cycle

+--------------------------------------------------------+
|  AUTONOMOUS LESSON LEARNING ITERATION                  |
|                                                        |
|  1. RECALL   lesson_recall({ query }) for the current  |
|              step BEFORE acting                        |
|  2. APPLY    adjust the plan using recalled lessons;   |
|              lesson_reinforce({ id }) each lesson that |
|              proved relevant                           |
|  3. ACT      execute one loop iteration (implement,    |
|              test, fix) per continuous-agent-loop      |
|  4. RECORD                                             |
|     - failure -> known lesson matches?                 |
|         yes -> lesson_reinforce({ id })                |
|         no  -> lesson_save({ content, context })       |
|     - new pattern that worked well?                    |
|         -> lesson_save with prescriptive wording       |
|  5. CHECK    stop condition met? done : goto 1         |
