continuous-learning

continuous-learning is a skill for Claude Code from mhylle/claude-skills-collection. It costs 115 tokens per session (2,114 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A skill that saves reusable lessons from coding sessions as triggerable files. Unlike memory for lasting facts and preferences, it records problem-solving patterns such as errors, causes and fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Capturing error resolutions, documenting workarounds and surfacing copy-pasteable fixes for recurring project problems.
Why use it?
It makes useful debugging knowledge available when the same problem appears again, instead of relying on someone remembering the earlier solution.

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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Continuous Learning

Extract patterns from sessions and save them as structured skill files that future sessions can consult by trigger match. This is the layer above Claude Code's auto-memory: memory captures facts and preferences about you and your projects; continuous-learning captures reusable problem-solving patterns that need more structure than a memory entry can carry.


Scope — how this differs from auto-memory

Claude Code has a built-in memory system (~/.claude/projects/.../memory/) that captures user, feedback, project, and reference memories — short, typed entries loaded into every future conversation's context. Use that for:

  • Facts about the user's role, preferences, responsibilities.
  • Corrections you want applied in all future work ("don't mock the database in integration tests").
  • Project-state facts like deadlines, decisions, stakeholders.
  • Pointers to external systems.

This skill handles the things auto-memory doesn't:

  • Triggerable patterns — full YAML files with an exact error-message trigger, root-cause analysis, and copy-pasteable fix. When that same error shows up six months later, the pattern surfaces.
  • Structured templates per pattern type — not just free text. Consistent shape across error resolutions, user corrections, workarounds, debugging techniques, project-specific conventions.
  • Reusable skills layer — files land in ~/.claude/skills/learned/, discoverable as portable skills across projects and machines.
  • Usage + confidence tracking — a pattern that's worked 5 times carries more weight than one that's worked once.

Rule of thumb: a one-line fact goes in memory. A reproducible fix-recipe or debugging playbook goes here.


When to use

Automatic triggers:

  • Stop hook — runs when a Claude Code session ends. See references/hook-setup.md.
  • Session timeout — same mechanism.

Manual triggers:

  • After solving a particularly difficult bug.
  • When the user corrects an approach (indicating a learning opportunity).
  • After discovering an undocumented workaround.
  • When a debugging technique proves especially effective.
  • After understanding project-specific conventions.

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 is a skill published in the GitHub repository mhylle/claude-skills-collection (18 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 115 tokens to every session and 2,114 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
