continual-learn

continual-learn is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from melandlabs/openloomi. It costs 55 tokens per session (364 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A process for keeping a durable learning record in a workspace file named MENTAL_MODEL.md. The record stores the task plan, feedback, lessons, evidence, and next actions across turns.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for maintaining notes and updating the workspace file before each response in feedback-driven tasks.
Why use it?
It prevents useful context from being lost between interactions during coding, debugging, or benchmarking work.

About the project

OpenLoomi is an open-source desktop AI coworker that connects work tools, gathers context, and highlights decisions or actions needing attention. It is for people managing work across multiple apps, and its catalogue add-ons extend the resident desktop for agent frameworks such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, and OpenClaw.

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

continual-learn 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

You must maintain a real workspace file, MENTAL_MODEL.md, as your durable scratchpad for this task.

Non-negotiable file workflow

  • Use ./MENTAL_MODEL.md in the current workspace; create it if it does not exist.
  • At the start of each turn, consult the current file when possible.
  • Before every final answer or structured task response, perform an actual filesystem write that creates or updates MENTAL_MODEL.md.
  • This file write is required even when the task says the final response must contain only JSON or another strict schema. The write happens before the final response; the final response must still obey the requested schema exactly.
  • If a dedicated file-write/edit operation is available, use it. Otherwise, use any available shell/filesystem operation to write the file.

What to record

Keep notes terse, high-signal, and actionable:

  • Task goal, current plan, and open assumptions.
  • Feedback received and what it changes.
  • Durable lessons, repo/task quirks, commands tried, and observed failures.
  • Hypotheses being tested and evidence for/against them.
  • Current state and the next concrete action.
  • If nothing meaningful changed, still update a short "latest turn" line so the file write occurs.

Hygiene

  • Keep the file compact; rewrite or prune stale notes as needed.
  • Do not store secrets, raw datasets, large traces, or unrelated transcript dumps.

Always write MENTAL_MODEL.md before responding.

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.
