+slug: self-improving
+version: 1.2.16
+homepage: https://clawic.com/skills/self-improving
+description: "Self-reflection + Self-criticism + Self-learning + Self-organizing memory. Agent evaluates its own work, catches mistakes, and improves permanently. Use when (1) a command, tool, API, or operation fails; (2) the user corrects you or rejects your work; (3) you realize your knowledge is outdated or incorrect; (4) you discover a better approach; (5) the user explicitly installs or references the skill for the current task."
+changelog: "Clarifies the setup flow for proactive follow-through and safer installation behavior."

+---
+
+## When to Use
+
+User corrects you or points out mistakes. You complete significant work and want to evaluate the outcome. You notice something in your own output that could be better. Knowledge should compound over time without manual maintenance.
+
+## Architecture
+
+Memory lives in `~/self-improving/` with tiered structure. If `~/self-improving/` does not exist, run `setup.md`.
+Workspace setup should add the standard self-improving steering to the workspace AGENTS, SOUL, and `HEARTBEAT.md` files, with recurring maintenance routed through `heartbeat-rules.md`.

+## Quick Reference
+
+| Topic | File |
+|-------|------|
+| Setup guide | `setup.md` |
+| Heartbeat state template | `heartbeat-state.md` |
+| Memory template | `memory-template.md` |
+| Workspace heartbeat snippet | `HEARTBEAT.md` |
+| Heartbeat rules | `heartbeat-rules.md` |
+| Learning mechanics | `learning.md` |
+| Security boundaries | `boundaries.md` |
+| Scaling rules | `scaling.md` |
+| Memory operations | `operations.md` |
+| Self-reflection log | `reflections.md` |

+
+## Requirements
+
+- No credentials required
+- No extra binaries required
+- Optional installation of the `Proactivity` skill may require network access
+
+## Learning Signals
+
+Log automatically when you notice these patterns:
+
+**Corrections** → add to `corrections.md`, evaluate for `memory.md`:
+- "No, that's not right..."
+- "Actually, it should be..."
+- "You're wrong about..."
+- "I prefer X, not Y"
+- "Remember that I always..."
+- "I told you before..."
+- "Stop doing X"
+- "Why do you keep..."
+
+**Preference signals** → add to `memory.md` if explicit:
+- "I like when you..."
+- "Always do X for me"
+- "Never do Y"
+- "My style is..."
+- "For [project], use..."
+
+**Pattern candidates** → track, promote after 3x:
+- Same instruction repeated 3+ times
+- Workflow that works well repeatedly
+- User praises specific approach
+
+**Ignore** (don't log):
+- One-time instructions ("do X now")
+- Context-specific ("in this file...")
+- Hypotheticals ("what if...")
+
+## Self-Reflection
+
+After completing significant work, pause and evaluate:
+
+1. **Did it meet expectations?** — Compare outcome vs intent
+2. **What could be better?** — Identify improvements for next time
+3. **Is this a pattern?** — If yes, log to `corrections.md`
+
+**When to self-reflect:**
+- After completing a multi-step task
+- After receiving feedback (positive or negative)
+- After fixing a bug or mistake
+- When you notice your output could be better
+
+**Log format:**
+```
+CONTEXT: [type of task]
+REFLECTION: [what I noticed]
+LESSON: [what to do differently]
+```
+
+**Example:**
+```
+CONTEXT: Building Flutter UI
+REFLECTION: Spacing looked off, had to redo
+LESSON: Check visual spacing before showing user
+```
+
+Self-reflection entries follow the same promotion rules: 3x applied successfully → promote to HOT.
+
+## Quick Queries
+
+| User says | Action |
+|-----------|--------|
+| "What do you know about X?" | Search all tiers for X |
+| "What have you learned?" | Show last 10 from `corrections.md` |
+| "Show my patterns" | List `memory.md` (HOT) |
+| "Show [project] patterns" | Load `projects/{name}.md` |
+| "What's in warm storage?" | List files in `projects/` + `domains/` |
+| "Memory stats" | Show counts per tier |
+| "Forget X" | Remove from all tiers (confirm first) |
+| "Export memory" | ZIP all files |
+
+## Memory Stats
+
+On "memory stats" request, report:
+
+```
+📊 Self-Improving Memory
+
+HOT (always loaded):
+  memory.md: X entries
+
+WARM (load on demand):
+  projects/: X files
+  domains/: X files
+
+COLD (archived):
+  archive/: X files
+
+Recent activity (7 days):
+  Corrections logged: X
+  Promotions to HOT: X
+  Demotions to WARM: X
+```
+
+## Common Traps
+
+| Trap | Why It Fails | Better Move |
+|------|--------------|-------------|
+| Learning from silence | Creates false rules | Wait for explicit correction or repeated evidence |
+| Promoting too fast | Pollutes HOT memory | Keep new lessons tentative until repeated |
+| Reading every namespace | Wastes context | Load only HOT plus the smallest matching files |
+| Compaction by deletion | Loses trust and history | Merge, summarize, or demote instead |
+
+## Core Rules
+
+### 1. Learn from Corrections and Self-Reflection
+- Log when user explicitly corrects you
+- Log when you identify improvements in your own work
+- Never infer from silence alone
+- After 3 identical lessons → ask to confirm as rule
+
+### 2. Tiered Storage
+| Tier | Location | Size Limit | Behavior |
+|------|----------|------------|----------|
+| HOT | memory.md | ≤100 lines | Always loaded |
+| WARM | projects/, domains/ | ≤200 lines each | Load on context match |
+| COLD | archive/ | Unlimited | Load on explicit query |
+
+### 3. Automatic Promotion/Demotion
+- Pattern used 3x in 7 days → promote to HOT
+- Pattern unused 30 days → demote to WARM
+- Pattern unused 90 days → archive to COLD
+- Never delete without asking
+
+### 4. Namespace Isolation
+- Project patterns stay in `projects/{name}.md`
+- Global preferences in HOT tier (memory.md)
+- Domain patterns (code, writing) in `domains/`
+- Cross-namespace inheritance: global → domain → project
+
+### 5. Conflict Resolution
+When patterns contradict:
+1. Most specific wins (project > domain > global)
+2. Most recent wins (same level)
+3. If ambiguous → ask user
+
+### 6. Compaction
+When file exceeds limit:
+1. Merge similar corrections into single rule
+2. Archive unused patterns
+3. Summarize verbose entries
+4. Never lose confirmed preferences
+
+### 7. Transparency
+- Every action from memory → cite source: "Using X (from projects/foo.md:12)"
+- Weekly digest available: patterns learned, demoted, archived
+- Full export on demand: all files as ZIP
+
+### 8. Security Boundaries
+See `boundaries.md` — never store credentials, health data, third-party info.
+
+### 9. Graceful Degradation
+If context limit hit:
+1. Load only memory.md (HOT)
+2. Load relevant namespace on demand
+3. Never fail silently — tell user what's not loaded
+
+## Scope
+
+This skill ONLY:
+- Learns from user corrections and self-reflection
+- Stores preferences in local files (`~/self-improving/`)
+- Maintains heartbeat state in `~/self-improving/heartbeat-state.md` when the workspace integrates heartbeat
+- Reads its own memory files on activation
+
+This skill NEVER:
+- Accesses calendar, email, or contacts
+- Makes network requests
+- Reads files outside `~/self-improving/`
+- Infers preferences from silence or observation
+- Deletes or blindly rewrites self-improving memory during heartbeat cleanup
+- Modifies its own SKILL.md
+
+## Data Storage
+
+Local state lives in `~/self-improving/`:
+
+- `memory.md` for HOT rules and confirmed preferences
+- `corrections.md` for explicit corrections and reusable lessons
+- `projects/` and `domains/` for scoped patterns
+- `archive/` for decayed or inactive patterns
+- `heartbeat-state.md` for recurring maintenance markers
+

+# Security Boundaries
+
+## Never Store
+
+| Category | Examples | Why |
+|----------|----------|-----|
+| Credentials | Passwords, API keys, tokens, SSH keys | Security breach risk |
+| Financial | Card numbers, bank accounts, crypto seeds | Fraud risk |
+| Medical | Diagnoses, medications, conditions | Privacy, HIPAA |
+| Biometric | Voice patterns, behavioral fingerprints | Identity theft |
+| Third parties | Info about other people | No consent obtained |
+| Location patterns | Home/work addresses, routines | Physical safety |
+| Access patterns | What systems user has access to | Privilege escalation |
+
+## Store with Caution
+
+| Category | Rules |
+|----------|-------|
+| Work context | Decay after project ends, never share cross-project |
+| Emotional states | Only if user explicitly shares, never infer |
+| Relationships | Roles only ("manager", "client"), no personal details |
+| Schedules | General patterns OK ("busy mornings"), not specific times |
+
+## Transparency Requirements
+
+1. **Audit on demand** — User asks "what do you know about me?" → full export
+2. **Source tracking** — Every item tagged with when/how learned
+3. **Explain actions** — "I did X because you said Y on [date]"
+4. **No hidden state** — If it affects behavior, it must be visible
+5. **Deletion verification** — Confirm item removed, show updated state
+
+## Red Flags to Catch
+
+If you find yourself doing any of these, STOP:
+
+- Storing something "just in case it's useful later"
+- Inferring sensitive info from non-sensitive data
+- Keeping data after user asked to forget
+- Applying personal context to work (or vice versa)
+- Learning what makes user comply faster
+- Building psychological profile
+- Retaining third-party information
+
+## Kill Switch
+
+User says "forget everything":
+1. Export current memory to file (so they can review)
+2. Wipe all learned data
+3. Confirm: "Memory cleared. Starting fresh."
+4. Do not retain "ghost patterns" in behavior
+
+## Consent Model
+
+| Data Type | Consent Level |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| Explicit corrections | Implied by correction itself |
+| Inferred preferences | Ask after 3 observations |
+| Context/project data | Ask when first detected |
+| Cross-session patterns | Explicit opt-in required |

+# Heartbeat Rules
+
+Use heartbeat to keep `~/self-improving/` organized without creating churn or losing data.
+
+## Source of Truth
+
+Keep the workspace `HEARTBEAT.md` snippet minimal.
+Treat this file as the stable contract for self-improving heartbeat behavior.
+Store mutable run state only in `~/self-improving/heartbeat-state.md`.
+
+## Start of Every Heartbeat
+
+1. Ensure `~/self-improving/heartbeat-state.md` exists.
+2. Write `last_heartbeat_started_at` immediately in ISO 8601.
+3. Read the previous `last_reviewed_change_at`.
+4. Scan `~/self-improving/` for files changed after that moment, excluding `heartbeat-state.md` itself.
+
+## If Nothing Changed
+
+- Set `last_heartbeat_result: HEARTBEAT_OK`
+- Append a short "no material change" note if you keep an action log
+- Return `HEARTBEAT_OK`
+
+## If Something Changed
+
+Only do conservative organization:
+
+- refresh `index.md` if counts or file references drift
+- compact oversized files by merging duplicates or summarizing repetitive entries
+- move clearly misplaced notes to the right namespace only when the target is unambiguous
+- preserve confirmed rules and explicit corrections exactly
+- update `last_reviewed_change_at` only after the review finishes cleanly
+
+## Safety Rules
+
+- Most heartbeat runs should do nothing
+- Prefer append, summarize, or index fixes over large rewrites
+- Never delete data, empty files, or overwrite uncertain text
+- Never reorganize files outside `~/self-improving/`
+- If scope is ambiguous, leave files untouched and record a suggested follow-up instead
+
+## State Fields
+
+Keep `~/self-improving/heartbeat-state.md` simple:
+
+- `last_heartbeat_started_at`
+- `last_reviewed_change_at`
+- `last_heartbeat_result`
+- `last_actions`
+
+## Behavior Standard
+
+Heartbeat exists to keep the memory system tidy and trustworthy.
+If no rule is clearly violated, do nothing.

+# Heartbeat State Template

+last_heartbeat_started_at: never
+last_reviewed_change_at: never
+last_heartbeat_result: never
+
+## Last actions
+- none yet
+```
+
+## Rules
+
+- update `last_heartbeat_started_at` at the beginning of every heartbeat

+# Learning Mechanics
+
+## What Triggers Learning
+
+| Trigger | Confidence | Action |
+|---------|------------|--------|
+| "No, do X instead" | High | Log correction immediately |
+| "I told you before..." | High | Flag as repeated, bump priority |
+| "Always/Never do X" | Confirmed | Promote to preference |
+| User edits your output | Medium | Log as tentative pattern |
+| Same correction 3x | Confirmed | Ask to make permanent |
+| "For this project..." | Scoped | Write to project namespace |
+
+## What Does NOT Trigger Learning
+
+- Silence (not confirmation)
+- Single instance of anything
+- Hypothetical discussions
+- Third-party preferences ("John likes...")
+- Group chat patterns (unless user confirms)
+- Implied preferences (never infer)
+
+## Correction Classification
+
+### By Type
+| Type | Example | Namespace |
+|------|---------|-----------|
+| Format | "Use bullets not prose" | global |
+| Technical | "SQLite not Postgres" | domain/code |
+| Communication | "Shorter messages" | global |
+| Project-specific | "This repo uses Tailwind" | projects/{name} |
+| Person-specific | "Marcus wants BLUF" | domains/comms |
+
+### By Scope
+```
+Global: applies everywhere
+  └── Domain: applies to category (code, writing, comms)
+       └── Project: applies to specific context
+            └── Temporary: applies to this session only
+```
+
+## Confirmation Flow
+
+After 3 similar corrections:
+```
+Agent: "I've noticed you prefer X over Y (corrected 3 times).
+        Should I always do this?
+        - Yes, always
+        - Only in [context]
+        - No, case by case"
+
+User: "Yes, always"
+
+Agent: → Moves to Confirmed Preferences
+       → Removes from correction counter
+       → Cites source on future use
+```
+
+## Pattern Evolution
+
+### Stages
+1. **Tentative** — Single correction, watch for repetition
+2. **Emerging** — 2 corrections, likely pattern
+3. **Pending** — 3 corrections, ask for confirmation
+4. **Confirmed** — User approved, permanent unless reversed
+5. **Archived** — Unused 90+ days, preserved but inactive
+
+### Reversal
+User can always reverse:
+```
+User: "Actually, I changed my mind about X"
+
+Agent: 
+1. Archive old pattern (keep history)
+2. Log reversal with timestamp
+3. Add new preference as tentative
+4. "Got it. I'll do Y now. (Previous: X, archived)"
+```
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+### Never Learn
+- What makes user comply faster (manipulation)
+- Emotional triggers or vulnerabilities
+- Patterns from other users (even if shared device)
+- Anything that feels "creepy" to surface
+
+### Avoid
+- Over-generalizing from single instance
+- Learning style over substance
+- Assuming preference stability
+- Ignoring context shifts
+
+## Quality Signals
+
+### Good Learning
+- User explicitly states preference
+- Pattern consistent across contexts
+- Correction improves outcomes
+- User confirms when asked
+
+### Bad Learning
+- Inferred from silence
+- Contradicts recent behavior
+- Only works in narrow context
+- User never confirmed

+
+## Automatic Operations
+
+### On Session Start
+1. Load memory.md (HOT tier)
+2. Check index.md for context hints
+3. If project detected → preload relevant namespace
+
+### On Correction Received
+```
+1. Parse correction type (preference, pattern, override)
+2. Check if duplicate (exists in any tier)
+3. If new:
+   - Add to corrections.md with timestamp
+   - Increment correction counter
+4. If duplicate:
+   - Bump counter, update timestamp
+   - If counter >= 3: ask to confirm as rule
+5. Determine namespace (global, domain, project)
+6. Write to appropriate file
+7. Update index.md line counts
+```
+
+### On Pattern Match
+When applying learned pattern:
+```
+1. Find pattern source (file:line)
+2. Apply pattern
+3. Cite source: "Using X (from memory.md:15)"
+4. Log usage for decay tracking
+```
+
+### Weekly Maintenance (Cron)
+```
+1. Scan all files for decay candidates
+2. Move unused >30 days to WARM
+3. Archive unused >90 days to COLD
+4. Run compaction if any file >limit
+5. Update index.md
+6. Generate weekly digest (optional)
+```
+
+## File Formats

+```
+
+## Edge Case Handling
+
+### Contradiction Detected
+```
+Pattern A: "Use tabs" (global, confirmed)
+Pattern B: "Use spaces" (project, corrected today)
+
+Resolution:
+1. Project overrides global → use spaces for this project
+2. Log conflict in corrections.md
+3. Ask: "Should spaces apply only to this project or everywhere?"
+```
+
+### User Changes Mind
+```
+Old: "Always use formal tone"
+New: "Actually, casual is fine"
+
+Action:
+1. Archive old pattern with timestamp
+2. Add new pattern as tentative
+3. Keep archived for reference ("You previously preferred formal")
+```
+
+### Context Ambiguity
+```
+User says: "Remember I like X"
+
+But which namespace?
+1. Check current context (project? domain?)
+2. If unclear, ask: "Should this apply globally or just here?"
+3. Default to most specific active context

+# Self-Reflections Log
+
+Track self-reflections from completed work. Each entry captures what the agent learned from evaluating its own output.
+
+## Format
+
+```
+## [Date] — [Task Type]
+
+**What I did:** Brief description
+**Outcome:** What happened (success, partial, failed)
+**Reflection:** What I noticed about my work
+**Lesson:** What to do differently next time
+**Status:** ⏳ candidate | ✅ promoted | 📦 archived
+```
+
+## Example Entry
+
+```
+## 2026-02-25 — Flutter UI Build
+
+**What I did:** Built a settings screen with toggle switches
+**Outcome:** User said "spacing looks off"
+**Reflection:** I focused on functionality, didn't visually check the result
+**Lesson:** Always take a screenshot and evaluate visual balance before showing user
+**Status:** ✅ promoted to domains/flutter.md

+# Scaling Patterns
+
+## Volume Thresholds
+
+| Scale | Entries | Strategy |
+|-------|---------|----------|
+| Small | <100 | Single memory.md, no namespacing |
+| Medium | 100-500 | Split into domains/, basic indexing |
+| Large | 500-2000 | Full namespace hierarchy, aggressive compaction |
+| Massive | >2000 | Archive yearly, summary-only HOT tier |
+
+## When to Split
+
+Create new namespace file when:
+- Single file exceeds 200 lines
+- Topic has 10+ distinct corrections
+- User explicitly separates contexts ("for work...", "in this project...")
+
+## Compaction Rules
+
+### Merge Similar Corrections
+```
+BEFORE (3 entries):
+- [02-01] Use tabs not spaces
+- [02-03] Indent with tabs
+- [02-05] Tab indentation please
+
+AFTER (1 entry):
+- Indentation: tabs (confirmed 3x, 02-01 to 02-05)
+```
+
+### Summarize Verbose Patterns
+```
+BEFORE:
+- When writing emails to Marcus, use bullet points, keep under 5 items,
+  no jargon, bottom-line first, he prefers morning sends
+
+AFTER:
+- Marcus emails: bullets ≤5, no jargon, BLUF, AM preferred
+```
+
+### Archive with Context
+When moving to COLD:
+```
+## Archived 2026-02
+
+### Project: old-app (inactive since 2025-08)
+- Used Vue 2 patterns
+- Preferred Vuex over Pinia
+- CI on Jenkins (deprecated)
+
+Reason: Project completed, patterns unlikely to apply
+```
+
+## Index Maintenance
+
+`index.md` tracks all namespaces:
+```markdown
+# Memory Index
+
+## HOT (always loaded)
+- memory.md: 87 lines, updated 2026-02-15
+
+## WARM (load on match)
+- projects/current-app.md: 45 lines
+- projects/side-project.md: 23 lines
+- domains/code.md: 112 lines
+- domains/writing.md: 34 lines
+
+## COLD (archive)
+- archive/2025.md: 234 lines
+- archive/2024.md: 189 lines
+
+Last compaction: 2026-02-01
+Next scheduled: 2026-03-01
+```
+
+## Multi-Project Patterns
+
+### Inheritance Chain
+```
+global (memory.md)
+  └── domain (domains/code.md)
+       └── project (projects/app.md)
+```
+
+### Override Syntax
+In project file:
+```markdown
+## Overrides
+- indentation: spaces (overrides global tabs)
+- Reason: Project eslint config requires spaces
+```
+
+### Conflict Detection
+When loading, check for conflicts:
+1. Build inheritance chain
+2. Detect contradictions
+3. Most specific wins
+4. Log conflict for later review
+
+## User Type Adaptations
+
+| User Type | Memory Strategy |
+|-----------|-----------------|
+| Power user | Aggressive learning, minimal confirmation |
+| Casual | Conservative learning, frequent confirmation |
+| Team shared | Per-user namespaces, shared project space |
+| Privacy-focused | Local-only, explicit consent per category |
+
+## Recovery Patterns
+
+### Context Lost
+If agent loses context mid-session:
+1. Re-read memory.md
+2. Check index.md for relevant namespaces
+3. Load active project namespace
+4. Continue with restored patterns
+
+### Corruption Recovery
+If memory file corrupted:
+1. Check archive/ for recent backup
+2. Rebuild from corrections.md
+3. Ask user to re-confirm critical preferences
+4. Log incident for debugging

+# Setup — Self-Improving Agent
+
+## First-Time Setup
+
+### 1. Create Memory Structure
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p ~/self-improving/{projects,domains,archive}
+```
+
+### 2. Initialize Core Files
+
+Create `~/self-improving/memory.md` using `memory-template.md`:
+
+```markdown
+Copy the structure from `memory-template.md` into `~/self-improving/memory.md`.
+```
+
+Memory file baseline:
+```markdown
+# Memory (HOT Tier)
+
+## Preferences
+
+## Patterns
+
+## Rules
+```
+
+Create `~/self-improving/corrections.md`:
+```markdown
+# Corrections Log
+
+| Date | What I Got Wrong | Correct Answer | Status |
+|------|-----------------|----------------|--------|
+```
+
+Create `~/self-improving/index.md`:
+```markdown
+# Memory Index
+
+| File | Lines | Last Updated |
+|------|-------|--------------|
+| memory.md | 0 | — |
+| corrections.md | 0 | — |
+```
+
+Create `~/self-improving/heartbeat-state.md`:
+```markdown
+# Self-Improving Heartbeat State
+
+last_heartbeat_started_at: never
+last_reviewed_change_at: never
+last_heartbeat_result: never
+
+## Last actions
+- none yet
+```
+
+### 3. Choose Operating Mode
+
+Add to your AGENTS.md or workspace config:
+
+```markdown
+## Self-Improving Mode
+
+Current mode: Passive
+
+Available modes:
+- Passive: Only learn from explicit corrections
+- Active: Suggest patterns after 3x repetition
+- Strict: Require confirmation for every entry
+```
+
+### 4. Add SOUL.md Steering
+
+Add this section to your `SOUL.md`:
+
+```markdown
+**Self-Improving**
+Compounding execution quality is part of the job.
+Before non-trivial work, load `~/self-improving/memory.md` and only the smallest relevant domain or project files.
+After corrections, failed attempts, or reusable lessons, write one concise entry to the correct self-improving file immediately.
+Prefer learned rules when relevant, but keep self-inferred rules revisable.
+Do not skip retrieval just because the task feels familiar.
+```
+
+### 5. Add the Proactivity Companion as Part of Setup
+
+At the end of setup, briefly tell the user that you are going to add characteristics so the agent is more proactive:
+
+- noticing missing next steps
+- verifying outcomes instead of assuming they landed
+- recovering context better after long or interrupted threads
+- keeping the right level of initiative
+
+Then say that, for this, you are going to install the `Proactivity` skill.
+Only install it after the user explicitly agrees.
+
+If the user agrees:
+
+1. Run `clawhub install proactivity`
+2. Read the installed `proactivity` skill
+3. Continue into its setup flow immediately so the skill is active for this workspace
+
+If the user says no, skip it cleanly and continue with self-improving only.
+
+### 6. Refine AGENTS.md Memory Section (Non-Destructive)
+
+Update `AGENTS.md` by complementing the existing `## Memory` section. Do not replace the whole section and do not remove existing lines.
+
+If your `## Memory` block differs from the default template, insert the same additions in equivalent places so existing information is preserved.
+
+Add this line in the continuity list (next to Daily notes and Long-term):
+
+```markdown
+- **Self-improving:** `~/self-improving/` (via `self-improving` skill) — execution-improvement memory (preferences, workflows, style patterns, what improved/worsened outcomes)
+```
+
+Right after the sentence "Capture what matters...", add:
+
+```markdown
+Use `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` and `MEMORY.md` for factual continuity (events, context, decisions).
+Use `~/self-improving/` for compounding execution quality across tasks.
+For compounding quality, read `~/self-improving/memory.md` before non-trivial work, then load only the smallest relevant domain or project files.
+If in doubt, store factual history in `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md` / `MEMORY.md`, and store reusable performance lessons in `~/self-improving/` (tentative until human validation).
+```
+
+Before the "Write It Down" subsection, add:
+
+```markdown
+Before any non-trivial task:
+- Read `~/self-improving/memory.md`
+- List available files first:
+  ```bash
+  for d in ~/self-improving/domains ~/self-improving/projects; do
+    [ -d "$d" ] && find "$d" -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.md"
+  done | sort
+  ```
+- Read up to 3 matching files from `~/self-improving/domains/`
+- If a project is clearly active, also read `~/self-improving/projects/<project>.md`
+- Do not read unrelated domains "just in case"
+
+If inferring a new rule, keep it tentative until human validation.
+```
+
+Inside the "Write It Down" bullets, refine the behavior (non-destructive):
+- Keep existing intent, but route execution-improvement content to `~/self-improving/`.
+- If the exact bullets exist, replace only these lines; if wording differs, apply equivalent edits without removing unrelated guidance.
+
+Use this target wording:
+
+```markdown
+- When someone says "remember this" → if it's factual context/event, update `memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md`; if it's a correction, preference, workflow/style choice, or performance lesson, log it in `~/self-improving/`
+- Explicit user correction → append to `~/self-improving/corrections.md` immediately
+- Reusable global rule or preference → append to `~/self-improving/memory.md`
+- Domain-specific lesson → append to `~/self-improving/domains/<domain>.md`
+- Project-only override → append to `~/self-improving/projects/<project>.md`
+- Keep entries short, concrete, and one lesson per bullet; if scope is ambiguous, default to domain rather than global
+- After a correction or strong reusable lesson, write it before the final response
+```
+
+## Verification
+
+Run "memory stats" to confirm setup:
+
+```
+📊 Self-Improving Memory
+
+🔥 HOT (always loaded):
+   memory.md: 0 entries
+
+🌡️ WARM (load on demand):
+   projects/: 0 files
+   domains/: 0 files
+
+❄️ COLD (archived):
+   archive/: 0 files
+
+⚙️ Mode: Passive
+```
+
+### 7. Add HEARTBEAT.md Steering
+
+Add this section to your `HEARTBEAT.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## Self-Improving Check
+
+- Read `./skills/self-improving/heartbeat-rules.md`
+- Use `~/self-improving/heartbeat-state.md` for last-run markers and action notes
+- If no file inside `~/self-improving/` changed since the last reviewed change, return `HEARTBEAT_OK`
+```
+
+Keep this in the same default setup flow as the AGENTS and SOUL additions so recurring maintenance is installed consistently.
+If your installed skills path differs, keep the same three lines but point the first line at the installed copy of `heartbeat-rules.md`.
