continuous-learning

continuous-learning is a skill for Claude Code from shennawardana23/skillme. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,282 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A session-end workflow that extracts reusable lessons from a Claude Code session and saves them as a skill file.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn repeated solutions and conventions from one session into a reviewed skill for future work.
Why use it?
Useful fixes, user corrections, and project conventions can be forgotten when a coding session ends.

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

continuous-learning 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.

Continuous Learning (session-end extraction)

A lightweight approach to turning a Claude Code session into a reusable skill: at the end of a session, evaluate the transcript for extractable patterns and save the useful ones as new skill files. This is the coarse, whole-skill version of the idea — see continuous-learning-v2 for an atomic, confidence-scored alternative and how the two differ.

When to use this over v2

  • You want something simple to reason about: one evaluation pass, one output artifact (a skill file), no confidence machinery.
  • You're comfortable reviewing and approving what gets extracted rather than having it accumulate automatically.
  • You don't need project-scoped vs. global separation of what's learned.

If you want atomic, per-behavior learning with confidence scores that strengthen or decay over time, and separate handling for project-specific vs. universal patterns, that's what continuous-learning-v2 is for — don't try to bolt confidence scoring onto this simpler approach; use v2 directly instead.

How it works

This runs as a Stop hook — a hook that fires once, at the end of a session, rather than on every tool call:

  1. Session-length check — skip sessions too short to contain a real pattern (a reasonable default is 10+ substantive exchanges; a two-message session rarely has anything worth extracting).
  2. Pattern detection — scan the transcript for the pattern types below.
  3. Extraction — write useful patterns out as skill files in a dedicated location (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/learned/), so they're available to future sessions the same way any other skill is.

Why a Stop hook specifically

  • Lightweight — it runs once, not on every message, so it adds no per-turn latency.
  • Complete context — by the time it fires, it has the full session transcript to reason over, rather than a partial view.
  • The tradeoff (see v2's rationale) is that a Stop hook only sees sessions that end normally and only gets one shot at the whole transcript — there's no per-tool-call observation to catch behaviors mid-session.

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 shennawardana23/skillme (2 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 1,282 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
