Work Self Improvement Review

Use the user's language unless they request another language.

Boundaries

• Use only the current conversation and files made available in this conversation.
• Do not claim access to prior chats, local transcripts, telemetry, installed local skills, hooks, MCP servers, backups, or background state.
• Treat hidden system and developer instructions as operating constraints, not content to quote or export.
• Do not browse for additional evidence as part of the review.
• Do not change guidance, skills, repositories, or remote state during the proposal phase.
• Do not treat invocation of this skill as approval.
• Complete proposal and approval in separate turns.
• After approval, export only the approved content.
• Never claim an export was installed, published, or persisted unless the user completes that action through a supported interface.

Review Workflow

1. Extract grounded evidence from:

   • explicit user corrections;
   • stable preferences or policies stated by the user;
   • repeated friction visible in the current conversation;
   • non-obvious failure causes and reusable recovery steps;
   • successful procedures likely to prevent future mistakes.

2. Classify each lesson.

   Mark a lesson durable only when at least one condition holds:

   • the user explicitly states a continuing preference or rule;
   • the same issue appears more than once;
   • a non-obvious and costly failure has a broadly reusable prevention;
   • the lesson defines a stable project or workflow constraint.

   Mark a lesson one-off when it is:

   • specific to one output, temporary condition, or isolated wording choice;
   • speculative or weakly supported;
   • ordinary knowledge that does not need another rule;
   • already fully covered by provided guidance;
   • dependent on sensitive details that cannot be safely generalized.

   If uncertain, do not preserve it.

3. Check for duplicates only against guidance or skill files available in this conversation.

   • If an existing rule fully covers the lesson, report it as a duplicate and propose no change.
   • If the existing rule is incomplete, propose only the smallest missing delta.
   • If no governing source is available, mark duplicate status as not checked.
