Failure Memory
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This is a disclosed workspace-local failure-memory skill; the main thing to review is that it can automatically record failures into persistent `.learnings` files that may guide future agent behavior.
This skill appears coherent and proportionate for workspace-local failure tracking. Before installing, decide whether you want automatic failure observations to be saved, review the optional dependency separately, and periodically inspect `.learnings/` so mistaken or sensitive entries do not become long-term guidance for the agent.
Findings (3)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Incorrect or overly broad failure records could later shape the agent's decisions, and recorded failure context may include project-sensitive details.
The skill intentionally creates persistent local memory that can be reused across future tasks in the workspace.
Observations are stored in `.learnings/` and searched locally. No cross-project data access occurs.
Periodically review and prune `.learnings/`, avoid placing secrets in failure context, and require human confirmation before treating learned observations as durable constraints.
The agent may create failure-memory entries automatically after tests, API errors, tool errors, or user corrections.
The skill allows the agent or orchestrator to automatically invoke failure detection and recording based on failures or corrections.
`/fm detect` ... `Next Steps (auto)`; `/fm record` ... `Next Steps (auto)`
Keep automatic recording enabled only if you want this behavior, and inspect generated observations before relying on them for future constraints.
Full lifecycle behavior may depend on another skill with its own instructions and permissions.
The skill recommends installing a separate dependency that is not included in the provided artifact set.
**Dependencies**: `leegitw/context-verifier` (for file change detection)
Review `leegitw/context-verifier` separately before installing it alongside this skill.
