Protocol

1. Extract — Scan for correction signals (loops, rejections, shape mismatches, lint rework)
2. Classify — Root cause: Skill Missing | Incomplete | Example Contradicts Rule | Workflow Gap | Trigger Miss
3. Trigger Miss Check — For every task in session, ask: " relevant skill available but not loaded?"

• If yes: record skill ID, indirect phrase used, and fix (add keyword alias to triggers)

1. Propose — One fix per root cause: revise existing guidance, update reference, add new skill, or add new workflow
2. Implement — Only when current task explicitly authorizes repository maintenance, apply the approved repo changes across configured agent dirs. Keep SKILL.md concise; move large tables to references/. Update AGENTS.md
3. Log to AGENTS_LEARNING.md — For each correction loop found, append one entry using common/common-learning-log protocol (Signal: Session retrospective)
4. Report — Output correction count, skills changed, trigger misses found, estimated rounds saved

Trigger Miss Output

Emit trigger miss block (schema in [references/methodology.md](references/methodology.md#trigger-miss-schema)) for each miss detected.

Guidelines

• Cite specifics: Reference concrete conversation moment per proposal
• Extend first: Search AGENTS.md before creating — extend existing guidance first
• One fix per loop: One correction → one targeted skill change
• Stay task-scoped: Only change repository library source during explicit maintenance work for the repository
• Sync all agents: Apply to every agent skill dir listed in .skillsrc agents field
• Follow skill-creator: New skills comply with common/skill-creator standards

Anti-Patterns

• No Vague Proposals: Cite exact gap + fix, not "make X better"
• No Duplicate Skills: Search AGENTS.md index first
• No Oversized Patches: Extract to references/ per skill-creator standard
