Install and run

Setup complexity: low.

clawhub skill install s178jdk12x4qj3gs2se3etxf3h83h7ft:self-improving

Setup complexity is classified as HIGH. You must provision dedicated cloud infrastructure or an isolated VM. Do not run this directly on your local workstation.
Final validation: Expose the agent to a mock request payload inside a sandbox and trace the network egress before allowing access to real customer data.

Contract: missing

## 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`.

```
~/self-improving/
├── memory.md          # HOT: ≤100 lines, always loaded
├── index.md           # Topic index with line counts
├── heartbeat-state.md # Heartbeat state: last run, reviewed change, action notes
├── projects/          # Per-project learnings
├── domains/           # Domain-specific (code, writing, comms)
├── archive/           # COLD: decayed patterns
└── corrections.md     # Last 50 corrections log
```

## 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` |
| OpenClaw HEARTBEAT seed | `openclaw-heartbeat.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"
-

# 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 |

corrections.md

# Corrections Log — Template

> This file is created in `~/self-improving/corrections.md` when you first use the skill.
> Keeps the last 50 corrections. Older entries are evaluated for promotion or archived.

## Example Entries

```markdown
## 2026-02-19

### 14:32 — Code style
- **Correction:** "Use 2-space indentation, not 4"
- **Context:** Editing TypeScript file
- **Count:** 1 (first occurrence)

### 16:15 — Communication
- **Correction:** "Don't start responses with 'Great question!'"
- **Context:** Chat response
- **Count:** 3 → **PROMOTED to memory.md**

## 2026-02-18

### 09:00 — Project: website
- **Correction:** "For this project, always use Tailwind"
- **Context:** CSS discussion
- **Action:** Added to projects/website.md
```

## Log Format

Each entry includes:
- **Timestamp** — When the correction happened
- **Correction** — What the user said
- **Context** — What triggered it
- **Count** — How many times (for promotion tracking)
- **Action** — Where it was stored (if promoted)

heartbeat-rules.md

# 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.
