# Self-Improve Framework

A pluggable self-improvement framework for AI agents. Automatically learns from mistakes, corrections, and feedback to continuously improve execution quality.

## Description

Self-Improve enables your agent team to evolve over time:
- Scans agent memory logs for learning signals
- Extracts reusable experience rules
- Proposes improvements to system files (with approval workflow)
- Maintains a 3-tier memory system (HOT/WARM/COLD)

## When to Use

- **Automatic (Cron)**: Runs every 3 days by default
- **Manual trigger**: When user asks to "run self-improve" or "learn and improve"
- **After significant events**: User can request immediate run after major corrections

## Installation

```bash
clawhub install self-improve
```

Or with OpenClaw CLI:
```bash
openclaw skills install self-improve
```

## Quick Start

### 1. Configure Paths

Edit user-config.yaml:

```yaml
storage:
  root: "/path/to/self-improve"
  knowledge_root: "/path/to/learned"
  workspace_root: "/path/to/.openclaw"

owner:
  name: "YourName"
  timezone: "Asia/Shanghai"
```

### 2. Run Setup

```bash
node scripts/setup.mjs --config user-config.yaml
```

### 3. Approve Cron Task

Check proposals/PENDING.md for the suggested Cron task.

## How It Works

```
Scan memory logs -> Extract signals -> Classify by theme
       |
Promote/demote rules between memory tiers
       |
Propose outputs:
  -> System file changes (needs approval)
  -> Knowledge base entries
  -> Blog drafts / methodologies
```

## Memory Tiers

| Tier | Location | Purpose |
|------|----------|---------|
| HOT | data/hot.md | Frequently used rules |
| WARM | data/themes/ | Theme-based rules |
| COLD | data/archive/ | Archived rules |
