Coach Plugin

Self-improving learning system for Claude Code that detects friction signals and proposes rule updates.

This is an Agent Skill following the open standard originally developed by Anthropic and released for cross-platform use.

Supported Platforms:

• Skill Update Suggestions: Detects when users supplement skills with additional guidance and proposes skill updates
• Outdated Tool Detection: Identifies deprecated tools and outdated dependencies from command output
• LLM-Assisted Generation: Uses Claude Haiku to generate specific, actionable learning candidates
• Transcript Analysis: Analyzes full session transcripts at session end for comprehensive learning
• Cross-Repo Learning: Tracks patterns across repositories and proposes promotion to global rules
• Proactive Scanning: /coach scan checks for outdated CLI tools and project dependencies

How It Works

1. Hooks detect friction signals as you work:

   • UserPromptSubmit: Detects corrections and repetition in user messages
   • PostToolUse: Captures command failures with exit codes
   • Stop: Runs full aggregation at session end

2. Signals are stored in ~/.claude-coach/events.sqlite

3. Candidates are generated from patterns in signals

4. Review candidates with /coach review and approve/reject

5. Rules are added to your CLAUDE.md files

Configuration

The plugin auto-configures hooks. For manual configuration or customization, see hooks/hooks.json.
