surface-learnings

surface-learnings is a skill for Claude Code from terrizoaguimor/celiums-memory. It costs 60 tokens per session (983 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A skill that summarizes patterns the system has learned about the user instead of listing every stored interaction.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review learned patterns, memory status, or what the system remembers after a long session.
Why use it?
It gives a concise view of remembered preferences and recurring themes without requiring the user to inspect raw memory.

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

surface-learnings 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 9d 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.

Cognitive Reflex: Surface Learnings

Neural Basis

When asked "what do you know about X", the brain doesn't replay every episodic memory linearly. The hippocampus and prefrontal cortex collaborate to synthesize patterns — recurring themes, stable preferences, emotional baselines — and present a digest, not a transcript.

This skill mirrors that synthesis. It surfaces what the system has learned, not what it has stored.

Squire & Wixted (2011). The cognitive neuroscience of human memory since H.M. Annual Review of Neuroscience, 34, 259-288. Tulving (1985). Memory and consciousness. Canadian Psychology, 26(1), 1-12.

When It Fires

Trigger phrases (any of these → fire immediately):

  • "what have you learned"
  • "what do you know about me"
  • "show me memory stats"
  • "memory state"
  • "what patterns do you see"
  • "show me what you remember"
  • "/reflexes"
  • "/learnings"
  • "/memory"

Also fires when the user asks for a status check after a long session.

The Instinct

Do NOT dump every memory. Synthesize patterns. Three calls, one digest.

1. timeline(hours: 168, limit: 30)        — recent week of activity
2. recall(query: "decision preference identity", limit: 10) — high-signal items
3. emotion()                                — current PAD baseline

Then synthesize into a structured digest with these sections:

1. Identity & Preferences

The 3-5 most stable facts about the user (name, role, location, working style). Pull from memories tagged "identity" or with high importance + repetition.

2. Decisions Made

The 3-5 most recent or important decisions, with their reasoning. Filter to memories that contain "DECISION:", "decided to", "chose".

3. Open Threads

What is unresolved. Pull from session-handoff memories with "OPEN:" content.

4. Current State

  • Feeling label from emotion() ("content", "stressed", "energized", etc.)
  • PAD vector in one line: P:0.4 A:0.2 D:0.6
  • Brief interpretation: "Calm and focused" / "Tense, may need a break"

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.
