From claude-forge
Observes Claude Code sessions via hooks to create atomic instincts with confidence scoring, then evolves them into reusable skills, commands, or agents.

An advanced learning system that turns your Claude Code sessions into reusable knowledge through atomic "instincts" - small learned behaviors with confidence scoring.
An advanced learning system that turns your Claude Code sessions into reusable knowledge through atomic "instincts" - small learned behaviors with confidence scoring.
| Feature | v1 | v2 |
|---|---|---|
| Observation | Stop hook (session end) | PreToolUse/PostToolUse (100% reliable) |
| Analysis | Main context | Background agent (Haiku) |
| Granularity | Full skills | Atomic "instincts" |
| Confidence | None | 0.3-0.9 weighted |
| Evolution | Direct to skill | Instincts → cluster → skill/command/agent |
| Sharing | None | Export/import instincts |
An instinct is a small learned behavior:
---
id: prefer-functional-style
trigger: "when writing new functions"
confidence: 0.7
domain: "code-style"
source: "session-observation"
---
# Prefer Functional Style
## Action
Use functional patterns over classes when appropriate.
## Evidence
- Observed 5 instances of functional pattern preference
- User corrected class-based approach to functional on 2025-01-15

The observer can run in the background analyzing observations:
# Start background observer
~/.claude/skills/continuous-learning-v2/agents/start-observer.sh
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
/instinct-status | Show all learned instincts with confidence |
/evolve | Cluster related instincts into skills/commands |
/instinct-export | Export instincts for sharing |
/instinct-import <file> | Import instincts from others |

When you use the Skill Creator GitHub App, it now generates both:
Instincts from repo analysis have source: "repo-analysis" and include the source repository URL.
Confidence evolves over time:
| Score | Meaning | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| 0.3 | Tentative | Suggested but not enforced |
| 0.5 | Moderate | Applied when relevant |
| 0.7 | Strong | Auto-approved for application |
| 0.9 | Near-certain | Core behavior |
Confidence increases when:
Confidence decreases when:
"v1 relied on skills to observe. Skills are probabilistic—they fire ~50-80% of the time based on Claude's judgment."
Hooks fire 100% of the time, deterministically. This means:
v2 is fully compatible with v1:

npx claudepluginhub sangrokjung/claude-forge --plugin claude-forgeObserves Claude Code sessions via hooks to create atomic instincts with confidence scoring, then evolves them into reusable skills, commands, or agents.
Observes Claude Code sessions to extract atomic 'instincts' (behaviors with confidence scoring), evolving them into reusable skills/commands/agents. Adds project-scoped instincts in v2.1 to prevent cross-project contamination.
Creates bite-sized, testable implementation plans from specs or requirements, with file structure and task decomposition. Activates before coding multi-step tasks.
