Skill instructions
Harness Learnings Principle Agent sessions are ephemeral. Codebase knowledge is not. When an agent discovers a pattern through trial and error (failed tests, correction loops, review findings), that knowledge should persist so the next session starts smarter. Operations This skill has two modes: capture (write a learning) and consult (read learnings relevant to the current task). How This Skill Is Invoked Capture is auto-prompted by the lifecycle agents at trigger moments where the agent has likely done something that future sessions should know about. The auto-prompt sites are: - devsquad.implement.execute after self-correction loops (2+ correction attempts, reverts of own work, max-attempt exhaustion) - devsquad.implement.verify after discovering a test or build prerequisite through a failed run - devsquad.review.code after producing Major or Critical findings that match a codebase-specific pattern - devsquad.implement.finalize after human PR feedback contradicts prior agent output,
