What people say after the same error, fifth time in a row
The worst part isn't that the agent makes mistakes - it's the same class of mistake, fifth time this month. I'm basically re-onboarding an amnesiac intern every week.

I told it 'always run tests before deploying.' It agreed. It forgot. Is there a way to turn corrections into permanent rules?

FAQ
Q: What exactly is a self-improving agent?
A: An agent that evaluates its own work, catches errors, and permanently improves: every error, correction, and best practice gets captured into persistent memory (like corrections.md) and recalled before the next task. self-improving (207,167+ installs) is the most complete implementation of this pattern.
Q: How is this different from normal memory features?
A: Plain memory stores history; self-improvement is a closed loop: sense the error, record it structurally, recall it before the next task, avoid repeating it. self-improving-agent-cn (24,360+ installs) exists precisely for the 'repeats mistakes, ignores corrections' pain.
Q: Does this require heavy infrastructure changes?
A: No. Start with a files-only approach: self-improving-1-2-16 (3,106+ installs) writes corrections into local files with zero external dependencies. Graduate to knowledge graphs and cross-session sync once the loop works.
Q: How should errors be recorded so they actually help?
A: Structured triage. self-improving-agent-next (2,448+ installs) routes failures, corrections, and best practices into .learnings and reviews them before each task; self-improving-agent-1-0-2 covers five trigger scenarios from command failures to stale knowledge.
Q: Can an agent really author its own new skills?
A: Yes. self-evolving-skill (13,743+ installs) runs meta-cognitive, value-driven skill evolution, and self-evolve-agent (2,854+ installs) senses gaps, runs experiments, and locks in winning behaviors - the agent writes and promotes its own skills.
Q: Are these install counts real?
A: Yes - live Deep Skill Finder deep-search queries from 2026-09-24. self-improving leads the category at 207,167+ installs. Click any card to verify.
