Alireza Rezvani e09d202aa3 feat: add self-improving-agent plugin — auto-memory curation for Claude Code (#260)
New plugin: engineering-team/self-improving-agent/
- 5 skills: /si:review, /si:promote, /si:extract, /si:status, /si:remember
- 2 agents: memory-analyst, skill-extractor
- 1 hook: PostToolUse error capture (zero overhead on success)
- 3 reference docs: memory architecture, promotion rules, rules directory patterns
- 2 templates: rule template, skill template
- 20 files, 1,829 lines

Integrates natively with Claude Code's auto-memory (v2.1.32+).
Reads from ~/.claude/projects/<path>/memory/ — no duplicate storage.
Promotes proven patterns from MEMORY.md to CLAUDE.md or .claude/rules/.

Also:
- Added to marketplace.json (18 plugins total)
- Added to README (Skills Overview + install section)
- Updated badge count to 88+
- Regenerated .codex/skills-index.json + symlink

Self-Improving Agent — Claude Code Instructions

This plugin helps you curate Claude Code's auto-memory into durable project knowledge.

Commands

Use the /si: namespace for all commands:

  • /si:review — Analyze auto-memory health and find promotion candidates
  • /si:promote <pattern> — Graduate a learning to CLAUDE.md or .claude/rules/
  • /si:extract <pattern> — Create a reusable skill from a proven pattern
  • /si:status — Quick memory health dashboard
  • /si:remember <knowledge> — Explicitly save something to auto-memory

How auto-memory works

Claude Code maintains ~/.claude/projects/<project-path>/memory/MEMORY.md automatically. The first 200 lines load into every session. When it grows too large, Claude moves details into topic files like debugging.md or patterns.md.

This plugin reads that directory — it never creates its own storage.

When to use each command

After completing a feature or debugging session

/si:review

Check if anything Claude learned should become a permanent rule.

When a pattern keeps coming up

/si:promote "Always run migrations before tests in this project"

Moves it from MEMORY.md (background note) to CLAUDE.md (enforced rule).

When you solved something non-obvious that could help other projects

/si:extract "Docker build fix for ARM64 platform mismatch"

Creates a standalone skill with SKILL.md, ready to install elsewhere.

To check memory capacity

/si:status

Shows line counts, topic files, stale entries, and recommendations.

Key principle

Don't fight auto-memory — orchestrate it.

  • Auto-memory is great at capturing patterns. Let it do its job.
  • This plugin adds judgment: what's worth keeping, what should be promoted, what's stale.
  • Promoted rules in CLAUDE.md have higher priority than MEMORY.md entries.
  • Removing promoted entries from MEMORY.md frees space for new learnings.

Agents

  • memory-analyst: Spawned by /si:review to analyze patterns across memory files
  • skill-extractor: Spawned by /si:extract to generate complete skill packages

Hooks

The error-capture.sh hook fires on PostToolUse (Bash only). It detects command failures and appends structured entries to auto-memory. Zero overhead on successful commands.

To enable:

// .claude/settings.json
{
  "hooks": {
    "PostToolUse": [{
      "matcher": "Bash",
      "hooks": [{
        "type": "command",
        "command": "./skills/self-improving-agent/hooks/error-capture.sh"
      }]
    }]
  }
}
