learn-from-session
Analyze Claude Code sessions to learn what went right or wrong and suggest high-confidence improvements to skills. Use this Skill when asked to analyze a session, learn from a session, or review workflow effectiveness. It accepts a session UUID, a .jsonl session file path, or inline commentary; automatically locates and reads session files when given an ID; and creates a persistent analysis log (/tmp/session-analysis-{id-short}-{timestamp}.md). Outputs contain only high-signal recommendations that would have prevented specific rework, each tied to exact message numbers and justified by the “3/3 counterfactual” test: (1) identify the rework message(s), (2) show the skill change would have triggered before the rework, and (3) show the change would have produced correct output initially. Use cases include post-mortems, CI feedback for skill authors, repository hygiene, and training-data corrections. Core advantages are reduced rework, actionable fixes with reproducible evidence, and a clear audit trail; if a session file cannot be found, the Skill prompts the user for the path or corrected ID.
session-review
Analyzes the current session to extract patterns, preferences, and learnings. Produces a structured review capturing what worked and what to improve. Use for session retrospectives, debriefs, post-mortems, or when reflecting on insights worth remembering.
