Individual skill
continuous-learning
Use when a mistake, correction, or surprise taught the workspace something that must stick — a retro or postmortem, the same agent error corrected twice, a resolved bug's root cause, scattered notes-to-self — and route that lesson to the durable surface that fires next time. NOT a forward choice with alternatives (that is `decision-records`).

# Continuous learning — the feedback loop of the harness
This is the engine that makes the system get better every time it is wrong. When something broke, got corrected, surprised you, or simply taught the workspace something, your job is to **catch that lesson and route it back into the durable apparatus so the same mistake cannot recur**.
One premise is load-bearing: **a lesson that lives only in chat is gone at the next compaction.** Verbal reflection only changes future behaviour when it is persisted to memory the agent actually reads next time (this is the Reflexion mechanism — self-reflection written to durable memory, not held in the conversation). In this harness, "memory" is a concrete set of surfaces: a `SKILL.md` body, `02-DOCS/wiki/harness/decisions.md`, `02-DOCS/wiki/harness/user-profile.md`, a root `CLAUDE.md` rule, or a `verify.sh` check. **Chat is not memory.** A lesson is "captured" only when it has landed in one of those.
Read `technical_level` in `02-DOCS/wiki/harness/user-profile.md` before you narrate, and speak in the `orient` voice in that register. It governs the words only — the capture loop runs identically for every reader.
## Boundaries
| Situation | Owner | Why |
|---|---|---|
| "We chose Postgres over Mongo, here's the why + the rejected options" | `../decision-records/SKILL.md` | forward choice with alternatives; a choice is not a lesson from a mistake |
| "The migration failed because Postgres rejects NULL on the PK — never assume that again" | `continuous-learning` | backward lesson from a mistake |
