Self-Improvement and Reflection

Review the current session and identify learnings that should be captured for future sessions.

Instructions

1. Review the session: Look back at the conversation and identify:

   • Mistakes made and how they were resolved
   • Patterns that worked well
   • Knowledge gaps that caused inefficiency
   • User corrections or feedback

2. Categorize learnings:

   • Critical rules: Things that must always/never be done
   • Patterns: Reusable approaches for common tasks
   • Domain knowledge: Codebase-specific information
   • Debugging techniques: How to diagnose specific issues

3. Update documentation:

   • Add critical rules to CLAUDE.md under appropriate sections
   • Add domain-specific learnings to relevant CLAUDE.md files in subdirectories
   • Keep entries concise and actionable

4. Consider scope - where should the improvement go?

   Repo-specific (CLAUDE.md in the repo):

   • Codebase structure and architecture
   • Project-specific patterns and conventions
   • Build quirks for this specific repo
   • Domain knowledge about the code

   Directory-specific (CLAUDE.md in subdirectory):

   • Context-specific patterns (e.g., Standalone/CLAUDE.md for standalone test patterns)
   • Component-specific rules

   AI Skills repo (PostSharp.Engineering.AISkills):

   • General devops and git workflow knowledge
   • How the team works (PR process, release workflow)
   • Cross-repo conventions and patterns
   • Build system (Build.ps1) improvements
   • GitHub/TeamCity API patterns

5. Format:

   • Use bullet points or numbered lists
   • Include concrete examples where helpful
   • Avoid verbose explanations - future Claude instances should quickly scan and apply

Output

Summarize:

• What learnings were added
• Where they were added
• Why they're valuable for future sessions
