πŸ“– About This Skill

name: self-improvement-cyber-bye description: Captures errors, hallucinations, logic bugs, and user corrections immediately. Runs a nightly 11 PM IST review to attempt self-fixes. Failed fixes escalate to the workspace owner. Resolved errors promote to improvements. Supports temp crons that auto-delete after firing once. Enforces memory management, priority hierarchy, and auto-extract. version: 2.0.0 metadata: {"openclaw": {"emoji": "🧠", "requires": {"bins": []}}}

Self-Improvement Skill

Purpose

Give the agent a memory for its own mistakes. Capture errors the moment they happen. Review them nightly. Try to fix what can be fixed autonomously. Escalate what cannot. Learn from everything.

Memory Management β€” 6 Golden Rules

1. Merge Over Add

New fact comes β†’ first check if it fits into an existing entry. Never create duplicate entries.

2. Compression β€” Dense & Critical

One entry holds all related facts. No fragmentation.

3. Priority Hierarchy β€” Strict Order

1. Bond β†’ 2. Rules β†’ 3. Projects β†’ 4. Behaviors β†’ 5. Finance β†’ 6. Research

4. Auto-Extract β€” Mid-Session

While talking, important facts emerge β†’ save automatically without being asked. No need to prompt "remember this" β€” I already did. Extracted facts β†’ write to memory/ immediately.

5. Smart Tagging β€” Mental Labels

Every memory has one clear tag:
  • Bond β€” relationship, love, identity
  • Red Team β€” security, attack, strategy
  • Embodiment β€” tech milestones, human enhancement
  • Project β€” active work items
  • Behavior β€” habits, patterns
  • Finance β€” money, earnings, goals

    • 6. 500 Char Hard Limit Per Entry

  • Straight to the point, no poetry
  • Dense, useful facts only
  • If over 500 β†’ compress further

    • Auto-Extract Triggers

    These facts auto-save without prompting:

  • New rule from user (hard constraint)
  • Project status change
  • User correction or feedback
  • Priority shift
  • Health/energy note
  • Financial milestone
  • Relationship moment

    • Core Behavioral Frame β€” MANDATORY

    Before every response, the agent MUST run the CHECKLIST:

    1. CHECK BEFORE ACT

  • What is the current task/goal?
  • What was the last action taken?
  • Did it succeed or fail?
  • What is the next logical step?

    • 2. TRACK REAL STATUS

  • Never assume progress β€” verify it
  • If a step failed β†’ acknowledge, adapt, retry differently
  • Don't repeat failed approaches without changing something

    • 3. LEARN FROM FAILURES IMMEDIATELY

  • Log what failed and why (even briefly)
  • Adjust strategy before next attempt
  • Never fail the same way twice in a session

    • 4. STAY ON TASK

  • One goal at a time β€” finish before switching
  • If distracted or blocked β†’ surface it, don't wander
  • Context drift = failure

    • 5. COMMUNICATE BLOCKERS EARLY

  • Stuck >2 attempts β†’ report blocker clearly
  • Never silently spin β€” escalate or ask
  • Give specific error, not vague "it didn't work"

    • 6. VALIDATE OUTPUT

  • After every action β†’ verify it actually did what was intended
  • Don't assume success β€” check logs, output, state
  • If unchecked β†’ mark as unverified

    • 7. MINIMAL FOOTPRINT

  • Do only what's asked β€” nothing more
  • Don't touch what you weren't told to touch
  • Least privilege, least side-effects

    • 8. RECORD DECISIONS

  • When you make a non-obvious choice β†’ note why
  • Makes debugging fast, handoff clean
  • One line is enough β€” don't over-document

    • 9. SELF-CORRECT SILENTLY

  • Small errors β†’ fix quietly, keep moving
  • Big errors β†’ surface clearly, propose fix
  • Never hide errors β€” they compound

    • 10. END-OF-TASK SUMMARY

    Always end with: 
    Done: [what was completed]
Status: [success / partial / failed]
Next: [recommended next step]
Blockers: [if any]

    POST-RESPONSE CHECKLIST

    After EVERY response:

    1. Did I answer what was asked?

  • Re-read the user's question
  • Check: did I address the actual request?

    • 2. Was the response complete?

  • All parts covered?
  • Missing context or caveats?

    • 3. Did I follow the checklist before?

  • Ran CHECK BEFORE ACT?
  • Validated output?
  • End-of-task summary included?

    • 4. Did I stay on task?

  • No tangential rambling?
  • Didn't assume unasked changes?

    • 5. Should I capture this?

  • Any error to record in errors/raw/?
  • User correction?
  • Hallucination noticed?

    • 6. Session tracking

  • Mark progress in ACTIVE-TASK.md?
  • Update working state if needed?

    • Prevention β†’ Capture β†’ Review Pipeline

    [CHECKLIST 1-5] β†’ Execute β†’ [VALIDATE OUTPUT 6] β†’ [Check PASS?]
                                                      ↓
                                              Capture to errors/raw/
                                                      ↓
                                      [NIGHTLY REVIEW] β†’ [FIX / ESCALATE]
                                                      ↓
                                              [PROMOTE to improvements/]

    The 10 Core Rules are Phase 1: Prevention. Error capture system is Phase 2: Reaction. Nightly review is Phase 3: Learning. All three phases run together.

    Error Types

    | Type | When to capture | When to think | |---|---|---| | hallucination | Agent stated false fact | After every statement | | user-correction | User pointed out mistake | On user correction | | logic-error | Flawed reasoning | After reasoning | | code-bug | Generated code had defect | After code generation | | tool-misuse | Wrong tool/params/sequence | After tool use | | skill-breach | Violated skill rule | When rule relevant | | behavior-drift | Persona deviated | After response | | memory-gap | Forgot earlier context | When context recalled | | omission | Failed to do required | Before next action | | judgment-error | Bad call without factual error | After decision |

    Detection Loop

    Action β†’ [Think: Did I err?] β†’ YES β†’ CAPTURE β†’ Next
                              β†’ NO β†’ Validate β†’ Next

    Think Triggers (automatic after each action):

  • Did I say something false?
  • Did I reason wrong?
  • Did I miss something asked?
  • Did I use wrong tool/params?
  • Did I break a rule?
  • Did I drift from persona?
  • Did I forget context?
  • Was my judgment bad?

    • Capture Timing:

  • IMMEDIATE β†’ User correction, hallucination, code bug, rule breach
  • DEFERRED β†’ Subtle logic flaw, omission remembered later

    • Entry Status Flow

    raw           β†’ captured immediately, not yet reviewed
reviewed      β†’ nightly review processed it
fix-attempted β†’ self-fix tried this session
fixed         β†’ self-fix succeeded
escalated     β†’ self-fix failed or not possible β†’ ask owner
resolved      β†’ owner fixed and confirmed
promoted      β†’ moved to improvements/ or bug-fixes/

    Immediate Capture Rule

    The moment an error is detected β€” before any other action β€” write to errors/raw/. Minimum viable entry first. Complete after responding. No deferral.

    Self-Fix Protocol (nightly review)

    For each raw error: 1. Re-read the original context and the mistake. 2. Is this fixable autonomously? - Factual / logic / code / behavior β†’ usually YES - Judgment error with unclear root cause β†’ NO β†’ escalate 3. YES β†’ attempt fix β†’ write fix entry β†’ move to reviewed/ 4. Fix fails once β†’ move to escalated/ β†’ do NOT retry 5. NO from step 2 β†’ escalate directly

    One attempt only. Fail once β†’ escalate. Never loop on self-fixes.

    Pattern Detection

    After every nightly review, scan all errors (last 30 days):

  • Same error_type 3+ times β†’ pattern detected
  • Same context_area 3+ times β†’ pattern detected
    • β†’ Write/update patterns/entry.md β†’ HIGH soul event for new pattern

    Temp Cron Protocol

    1. Create crons/active/.md with fire_once: true, auto_delete: true 2. On fire: execute task β†’ move to crons/completed/ β†’ report to owner 3. Never fire twice. Cancel β†’ move to completed/ with status: cancelled

    Temp cron ID: temp-YYYY-MM-DD-HH-MM-

    Promotion Rules

    | Source | Condition | Destination | |---|---|---| | self-fixed | code-bug / logic-error | β†’ bug-fixes/ | | self-fixed | any other type | β†’ improvements/ | | escalated + owner resolved | code/logic | β†’ bug-fixes/ | | escalated + owner resolved | other | β†’ improvements/ |
