# Self-learning sidecar

Use this skill to **recall** prior shortcuts before you start work, and to **record** durable “aha” moments + recommendations after you finish.

Critical rule: if no learnings exist (cold start), say so and proceed with standard tools — **do not invent memories**.

## CLI path (important)

This skill ships an optional helper CLI at `<SKILL_DIR>/scripts/self_learning.py` (where `<SKILL_DIR>` is the directory that contains this `SKILL.md`).

- Codex default: `${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/self-learning-skills`
- In the commands below, replace `<SKILL_DIR>` with your install path.

## 1) PRE-RUN: Recall (before starting work)
**When to use:** Before any non-trivial task.

**Action:**
1. Locate the project store: `<repo-root>/.agents/memory/self-learning/v1/users/<user>/`
2. Read `<project_store>/INDEX.md` (quick skim).
3. If you need targeted recall, run:
   - `python3 <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/self_learning.py list --query "<keywords>"`
   - Optional filters: `--skill <name>`, `--tag skill:<name>`
4. Summarize **3–7** directly actionable bullets relevant to the current task (titles + IDs only; no long dumps).

## 2) POST-RUN: Record (after finishing work)
**When to use:** You discovered something durable (schema, fix, command sequence, constraint, etc.).

**Action:**
1. Capture **1–5** Aha Cards (durable, reusable, specific, non-sensitive). Format: `references/FORMAT.md`.
