lessons

A command for viewing and managing lessons saved in the project's `.ai-sessions/lessons.md` file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to view recent or all lessons, search by a term, list lesson categories, or review lessons for duplicates and outdated guidance.
Why use it?
It helps you find past lessons without opening the file manually, and shows when no lessons have been recorded yet.

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

lessons 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 — 88 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Lessons Command

View and manage accumulated lessons from .ai-sessions/lessons.md.

Behavior

  1. Read .ai-sessions/lessons.md

    • If the file does not exist, inform the user: "No lessons file found. Run /bpe:session-summary at the end of a session to start capturing lessons."
    • If the file exists, proceed based on arguments.
  2. No arguments (/bpe:lessons): Display the full ## Recent section and list available categories with their lesson counts.

  3. With search term (/bpe:lessons $ARGUMENTS): Search the entire lessons.md for entries matching the argument. Display matching lessons grouped by category. If no matches, say so.

  4. Special arguments:

    • recent - Show the Recent section (default if no args)

    • all - Display the entire lessons.md file

    • categories - List just the category headings with counts

    • prune - Review lessons.md for duplicates, outdated entries, or lessons that have already been incorporated elsewhere. Check all of the following for existing coverage:

      • The project's CLAUDE.md
      • All global rule files in ~/.claude/rules/*.md
      • ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md

      For each lesson that is already covered, note where it exists. Present findings to the user grouped by status:

      ## Already incorporated
      - [lesson]: covered in ~/.claude/rules/python.md
      - [lesson]: covered in project CLAUDE.md
      
      ## Duplicates
      - [lesson]: duplicate of [other lesson] in lessons.md
      
      ## Outdated
      - [lesson]: reason it appears outdated
      

      Ask the user to confirm before making changes. Pruned lessons are NOT deleted; they are moved to .ai-sessions/lessons-pruned.md with a record of what happened to each one:

      ## Pruned <date>
      - [lesson]: promoted to ~/.claude/rules/python.md
      - [lesson]: duplicate of [other lesson]
      - [lesson]: outdated: [reason]
      

      Append to the file if it already exists. Then remove the pruned lessons from lessons.md.

    • promote - Identify lessons that appear broadly applicable or have been validated across multiple sessions. For each promotable lesson, classify its destination:

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.

lessons is a skill published in the GitHub repository MasonEgger/bpe-claude-code-plugin (7 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 1,180 once invoked, about $0.0001 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 2026-08-31.
