SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyse a session transcript to extract learnings — corrections, reversals, approach changes, and successes. It runs automatically on SessionStart for the previous session and can be invoked manually to analyse the current session or review accumulated learnings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated retrospective: identifies corrections, reversals, and successes across sessions.
  • Pattern detection: aggregates learnings to surface recurring issues and propose rules.
  • Local learning: writes immediate learned rules to .claude/rules/ for rapid improvement.

Quick Start

Run a retrospective analysis on the current session to surface actionable learnings and local rules.

FAQPage Schema
How do I extract learnings from a session transcript to improve AI behavior?▼

To extract learnings from a session transcript, analyze the text to identify corrections, reversals, and successes, then write immediate learned rules to the local rules directory for rapid AI behavior improvement.

What is session analysis and how does it detect recurring patterns?▼

Session analysis is the process of aggregating transcript learnings across current or past sessions to detect recurring issues, generate metrics, and propose rules that systematically improve AI behavior.

Can I automatically run a retrospective on my previous sessions?▼

Yes, you can automatically run a retrospective on session start for the previous session, or manually invoke it to analyze the current session, review accumulated learnings, or target specific past sessions.

How do I generate rules from accumulated session learnings?▼

Generate rules from accumulated learnings by detecting recurring patterns in session transcripts and writing those immediate learned rules directly into the local rules directory to adjust behavior.

Where are extracted session learnings and proposed rules stored?▼

Extracted session learnings and proposed rules are stored locally in the learnings directory, while immediate learned rules are written directly to the rules directory for rapid application.
