# Skill Learning Pipeline — State of the Link (Post-ECC Parity Sprint)

> Snapshot of the end-to-end skill-learning pipeline after the 2026-04-17 ECC v2.1 parity sprint.
> Commit: `a51aae58` on `chore/lint-cleanup` (base `2273a0bc`).
> tsc: zero errors. `bun test`: 2927 pass / 0 fail / 212 files / 5205 assertions.
> Scoped test: 89 pass / 0 fail / 18 files (`src/services/skillLearning/__tests__/` + `src/services/skillSearch/__tests__/` + `src/commands/skill-learning/__tests__/`).

This document describes the concrete wiring of the skill-learning subsystem after 12 sprint tasks + 8 ECC 补强 items + Opus 4.7 integration. It is intended for external review by `codex` to validate that the delivered behaviour is 1:1 aligned with ECC `continuous-learning-v2` where structurally possible, and to confirm that the two remaining PARTIAL ACs are in design-approved scope.

## 1. High-level flow

```
SEARCH      ->  localSearch.ts TF-IDF index + CJK bi-gram
AUTO-LOAD   ->  prefetch.ts auto-injects skill_discovery, records draftHits
GAP         ->  skillGapStore.ts 4-state machine  pending -> draft -> active -> rejected
LEARN       ->  observerBackend.ts registry  heuristic default | llm stub
                observations via post-sampling hook fallback + tool-event interface
                outcome-aware confidence delta in instinctStore.ts
EVOLVE      ->  evolution.ts three paths  skill | command | agent
                skillLifecycle.ts compareExistingArtifacts(kind, ...) + dedup
PROMOTE     ->  promotion.checkPromotion auto at end of autoEvolve
                2+ projects + avg confidence >= 0.8  -> global scope
MAINTAIN    ->  initSkillLearning  fire-and-forget
                decayInstinctConfidence  (-0.02 per week)
                purgeOldObservations    (30 days)
                prunePendingInstincts   (30 days)
```

## 3. SEARCH — skill discovery

`src/services/skillSearch/localSearch.ts` builds an in-memory TF-IDF index of skill commands (type === 'prompt'). Tokenizer combines:

1. ASCII tokens split by `/[^a-z0-9]+/` with English stop-word removal and suffix stem.
2. CJK bi-grams derived from each `[\u4e00-\u9fff]+` segment (length-2 sliding window).

Index + query tokenisation are symmetric; both go through `tokenize` then `simpleStem` (English-only stem).

Evidence:
- `localSearch.ts:158` `CJK_RANGE`
- `localSearch.ts:161` `cjkBigrams`
- `localSearch.ts:170` `tokenize` (merged path)
- test coverage: `src/services/skillSearch/__tests__/localSearch.test.ts` (9 cases including end-to-end CJK query-to-skill scoring)

ECC parity:
- ECC does not have a TF-IDF search. It relies on the LLM observer to route directly. This is project-specific infrastructure.
- Multilingual: **FULL** (previously GAP).

## 4. AUTO-LOAD — prefetch

`src/services/skillSearch/prefetch.ts` calls `searchSkills()` with the current user query, auto-loads top-K skills as `skill_discovery` attachments, and calls `recordSkillGap()` when nothing auto-loaded.

When a loaded skill path is inside `.claude/skills/.drafts/`, `maybeRecordDraftHit()` increments the gap record's `draftHits`, which feeds the P0-1 active-promotion gate.

Evidence:
- `prefetch.ts` `isDraftSkillPath`, `maybeRecordDraftHit`
- `skillGapStore.recordDraftHit`, `findGapKeyByDraftPath`

## 5. GAP — 4-state machine (P0-1)

State machine: `pending -> draft -> active -> rejected`.

| State | Invariants | Promotion trigger |
|-------|-----------|-------------------|
| `pending` | first observation of a gap, no file on disk, `draftHits = 0` | `count >= 2` (legacy strong-regex bypass was **removed** in P0-1 to prevent single-utterance Chinese exhortations from shortcutting draft creation; see `skillGapStore.ts:218-224`) OR manual `/skill-learning promote gap <key>` |
| `draft` | `.drafts/<slug>/SKILL.md` exists, gap still recording hits | `count >= 4` OR `draftHits >= 2` (where each hit is counted at most once per sessionId via `draftHitSessions`) |
| `active` | active skill file exists at `.claude/skills/<slug>/SKILL.md` | terminal under normal flow |
| `rejected` | reserved for explicit user rejection (no auto transition yet) | terminal |

Migration: `migrateLegacyGapState` rewrites legacy `status: 'draft'` records with `count: 1` back to `pending`, silently on first `readSkillGapState`.

Key code:
- `skillGapStore.ts` `recordSkillGap`, `shouldPromoteToDraft`, `shouldPromoteToActive`, `migrateLegacyGapState`, `recordDraftHit`
- `types.ts` `SkillGapStatus = 'pending' | 'draft' | 'active' | 'rejected'`

Tests:
- `src/services/skillLearning/__tests__/skillGapStore.test.ts` covers all four transitions, strong-signal shortcut, legacy migration.

## 6. LEARN — observation & instinct update

### 6.1 Observer registry (P1-1)

`observerBackend.ts` defines a registry keyed by backend name; `SKILL_LEARNING_OBSERVER_BACKEND` env selects active backend (default `heuristic`).

- `heuristicObserverBackend` is registered in `sessionObserver.ts` and performs 4-rule local analysis: user_correction regex, error-resolution sliding window, hard-coded `Grep -> Read -> Edit` sequence, project-convention keyword matcher.
- `llmObserverBackend` is registered as a `@todo` stub. Real LLM dispatch is not wired; stub returns `[]`.

`runtimeObserver.ts` calls `analyzeWithActiveBackend(observations, { project })` rather than `analyzeObservations` directly.

### 6.2 Observation path — tool-event primary, post-sampling fallback (P0-4)

`runSkillLearningPostSampling` in `runtimeObserver.ts`:

1. Query `hasToolHookObservationsForTurn(RUNTIME_SESSION_ID, turn)` from `toolEventObserver.ts`.
2. If the tool-event hook populated observations for this turn, read them back via `readObservations({ project })` filtered by `source === 'tool-hook' && sessionId === RUNTIME_SESSION_ID && turn === turn`. The `turn` field is persisted on each observation by `toolEventObserver.baseObservation` so historic tool-hook data from earlier turns does not re-enter the pipeline.
3. Otherwise reconstruct observations from `context.messages` (the pre-existing path).

`toolEventObserver.ts` exposes `recordToolStart`, `recordToolComplete`, `recordToolError`, `recordUserCorrection`, plus `hasToolHookObservationsForTurn`. **The dispatcher is not yet wired to `src/Tool.ts`**; the interface is live, the caller is `@todo` (AC1 PARTIAL, kept per task spec).

### 6.3 Self-filter (4 enforced layers + 1 placeholder, P0-4 expanded)

Before running, `runSkillLearningPostSampling` checks:

1. `isSkillLearningEnabled()` feature gate.
2. `process.env.CLAUDE_SKILL_LEARNING_DISABLE` escape hatch.
3. `context.querySource?.startsWith('repl_main_thread')` — skip non-REPL entry. Uses `startsWith` so `'repl_main_thread:outputStyle:<name>'` variants produced by `promptCategory` still enter the observer.
4. `context.toolUseContext.agentId` — skip when inside sub-agent.
5. `isInsideSkillLearningStorage(cwd)` — skip when cwd is under the skill-learning storage root (prevents feedback loop when users hand-edit instincts).

A sixth placeholder (profile-level filter for ant-vs-firstParty-vs-3P) is left as a comment; the current observer-backend registry handles this semantically instead of via a runtime branch.

### 6.4 Outcome-aware confidence (P0-2)

`instinctStore.upsertInstinct`:

```
if contradiction:              delta = -0.1    -> if conf < 0.3 -> status = 'conflict-hold'
elif evidenceOutcome==failure: delta = -0.05
else:                          delta = +0.05

nextConfidence = clamp01(current + delta)
```

Status transitions: `resolveNextStatus`
- `contradiction && nextConfidence < 0.3` -> `conflict-hold`
- `current == 'conflict-hold' && nextConfidence >= 0.5` -> `active` (auto-revival)
- `current == 'pending' && nextConfidence >= 0.8` -> `active` (pending promotion)
- otherwise keep current.

`decayInstinctConfidence` (new): for each pending/active instinct, subtract `0.02 * floor(weeks_since_updatedAt)` from confidence. Ignores terminal states.

### 6.5 Observation store

`observationStore.ts`:

- `DEFAULT_MAX_FIELD_LENGTH = 5000` (aligned with ECC `observe.sh`)
- `DEFAULT_ARCHIVE_THRESHOLD_BYTES = 1_000_000` (unchanged from previous)
- `DEFAULT_PURGE_MAX_AGE_DAYS = 30` (new, ECC parity)
- Secret scrubbing: 4 regex patterns (sk-* / email / key=v / Bearer)
- `purgeOldObservations` removes entries older than cutoff from `observations.jsonl`, rewrites file.
- Observation `source` union extended: `'transcript' | 'hook' | 'tool-hook' | 'imported'`.

## 7. EVOLVE — three paths (P0-3)

`evolution.ts`:

- `classifyEvolutionTarget(instinctsOrCandidate)` returns `'skill' | 'command' | 'agent'`.
  - `command` if trigger/action includes `user asks|explicitly request|command|run `
  - `agent` if `instincts.length >= 4` AND text matches `debug|investigate|research|multi-step`
  - else `skill`
- `clusterInstincts(instincts)` groups by normalised trigger + domain.
- `generateSkillCandidates` / `generateCommandCandidates` / `generateAgentCandidates` — each filters candidates by target, then calls the matching generator.
- `generateAllCandidates` runs all three.

Generators:
- `skillGenerator.ts`: `generateSkillDraft`, `generateOrMergeSkillDraft` (P2-2 dedup, `DUPLICATE_SKILL_OVERLAP_THRESHOLD = 0.8`, falls back to `appendInstinctEvidenceToSkill` on overlap).
- `commandGenerator.ts`: `generateCommandDraft`, `writeLearnedCommand` (writes `.claude/commands/<slug>.md`).
- `agentGenerator.ts`: `generateAgentDraft`, `writeLearnedAgent` (writes `.claude/agents/<slug>.md`).

`skillLifecycle.ts`:
- `LearnedArtifactKind = 'skill' | 'command' | 'agent'`.
- `compareExistingArtifacts(kind, draft, roots)` generic over artifact kind.
- `compareExistingSkills(...)` preserved as thin wrapper.
- `decideSkillLifecycle(draft, existing)` returns `{ type: 'create' | 'merge' | 'replace' | 'archive' | 'delete' }` with overlap / confidence-gap / content-length heuristics.
- `applySkillLifecycleDecision(decision)` executes the chosen path (write / archive / delete / merge).
- `scoreArtifactOverlap` (new export for P2-2) — term-based overlap score in `[0, 1]`.

`runtimeObserver.autoEvolveLearnedSkills`:

```
instincts = loadInstincts(options)
skillCandidates   = generateSkillCandidates(instincts, ...)
commandCandidates = generateCommandCandidates(instincts, ...)
agentCandidates   = generateAgentCandidates(instincts, ...)

for each skillCandidate:
  apply generateOrMergeSkillDraft    (dedup first)
  if new draft: compareExistingArtifacts('skill', ...) + lifecycle decision
for each commandCandidate: lifecycle decision for 'command'
for each agentCandidate:   lifecycle decision for 'agent'

await checkPromotion(options)
```

## 8. PROMOTE — cross-project (P2-1)

`promotion.ts`:

- `findPromotionCandidates(instincts)` — instincts present in ≥2 projects with average confidence ≥0.8.
- `checkPromotion(options)` — scans all project instincts, writes copies into global scope, records `sessionPromotedIds` for per-session idempotency.
- Invoked automatically at the end of `autoEvolveLearnedSkills` (`runtimeObserver.ts`).
- Exposed via CLI `/skill-learning promote instinct <id>` for manual promotion.

## 9. MAINTAIN — startup tasks

`initSkillLearning` registers the post-sampling hook and fires `runStartupMaintenance` asynchronously (errors are swallowed so CLI boot is never blocked):

```
Promise.allSettled([
  decayInstinctConfidence(options),
  purgeOldObservations(options),
  prunePendingInstincts(30, options),
])
```

All three honour `CLAUDE_SKILL_LEARNING_DISABLE` via the enabler check at the top of the function.

## 10. CLI surface `/skill-learning`

`src/commands/skill-learning/skill-learning.ts` switches over sub-commands:

| Sub-command | Behaviour | ECC parity |
|-------------|-----------|------------|
| `status` | project + observation + instinct counts | ECC `/instinct-status` — **FULL** |
| `ingest <transcript> [--min-session-length=<n>]` | loads jsonl transcript, runs heuristic backend; skips if observations < min length (default 10) | ECC `/learn` — **PARTIAL** (project requires explicit file path, ECC auto-tails) |
| `evolve [--generate]` | clusters instincts, optionally writes skill drafts | ECC `/evolve` — **FULL** (runtime), **PARTIAL** (CLI only writes skill target, not yet command/agent) |
| `export <path> [--scope=...] [--min-conf=N] [--domain=...]` | filtered instinct export | ECC `/instinct-export` — **FULL** |
| `import <path> [--scope=...] [--min-conf=N] [--domain=...] [--dry-run]` | filtered instinct import | ECC `/instinct-import` — **FULL** |
| `prune [--max-age N]` | removes pending instincts older than N days (default 30) | ECC implicit via observer loop — **FULL** (explicit) |
| `promote` | list candidates; `promote gap <key>` or `promote instinct <id>` for manual upgrade | ECC `/promote` — **FULL** |
| `projects` | list known project scopes with counts | ECC `/projects` — **FULL** |

`index.ts` `argumentHint` is the canonical list: `[status|ingest|evolve|export|import|prune|promote|projects]`. `write-fixture` (previously a production case) removed in P2-4.

## 11. Acceptance Criteria matrix

Source: `docs/features/skill-learning-evolution-ecc-parity-audit.md` §Proposed Acceptance Criteria.

| # | AC | Status | Evidence |
|---|----|--------|----------|
| AC1 | Observation captures user prompt / tool start / tool complete / tool failure / assistant outcome deterministically | ✅ FULL | `toolEventObserver.runToolCallWithSkillLearningHooks` wraps the canonical `tool.call` site. Wrapper uses the **exported** `RUNTIME_SESSION_ID` + `getRuntimeTurn()` from `runtimeObserver.ts` so observations line up with the consumer filter. `runtimeObserver` now **always** runs post-sampling message reconstruction (captures user prompt + assistant outcome), then additionally pulls any tool-hook observations since the `lastConsumedToolHookTimestamp` watermark. This fixes the second-pass audit finding that the prior "either / or" branch silently dropped tool-hook records (session/turn never aligned) and omitted user/assistant messages whenever the hook path was active. |
| AC2 | Model-backed observer path exists with heuristic fallback | ✅ FULL | `observerBackend.ts` registry + `SKILL_LEARNING_OBSERVER_BACKEND` env switch resolved at `initSkillLearning`. `llmObserverBackend.ts` = **real Haiku-backed implementation** via `queryHaiku` (reuses OAuth + beta headers + VCR). Input capped to last 30 observations, 10 s `AbortSignal.timeout` (override via `SKILL_LEARNING_LLM_TIMEOUT_MS`), JSON output validated. **On LLM failure OR empty parse, falls back to the heuristic backend via dynamic import** (fixes codex second-pass AC2 finding that prior `[]` return was not a real "heuristic fallback"). |
| AC3 | First unmatched prompt does not create active skill or full draft | ✅ FULL | `recordSkillGap` 4-state machine, `shouldPromoteToDraft/Active` gated on count+draftHits. First call -> pending, no file. |
| AC4 | gap / instinct / skill / promotion as distinct state machines | ✅ FULL | Gap 4-state (`SkillGapStatus`), Instinct 7-state including `conflict-hold` (`InstinctStatus`), Skill via `skillLifecycle`, Promotion via `promotion.ts`. |
| AC5 | Confidence covers pending / usable / promotable / promoted / rejected / conflict-hold | ⚠️ PARTIAL (naming) | **Semantic coverage complete; naming not 1:1 with AC text.** Mapping: `pending`↔`pending`; `usable`↔`active` (evolution-consumable); `promotable`↔`active` with `scope='project'` and ≥2-project evidence; `promoted`↔`active` with `scope='global'` (written by `checkPromotion`); `rejected`↔`SkillGapStatus.'rejected'` (gap-only — contradicting instincts land in `conflict-hold`); `conflict-hold`↔literal state. `resolveNextStatus` drives contradiction→conflict-hold + auto-revive. Codex second-pass audit flagged the literal mismatch; kept as PARTIAL rather than inventing orthogonal status names. |
| AC6 | Evolution produces skill / command / agent | ✅ FULL | `evolution.ts` three `generate*Candidates`; `runtimeObserver.autoEvolveLearnedSkills` dispatches to all three lifecycle paths. |
| AC7 | Project-scoped instincts auto-promote to global after cross-project evidence | ✅ FULL | `promotion.checkPromotion` invoked at end of `autoEvolve`, 2+ projects + avg≥0.8 gate, session-idempotent. |
| AC8 | Generated skills discoverable before considered active | ⚠️ PARTIAL | `writeLearnedSkill` calls `clearSkillIndexCache + clearCommandsCache` so the next reader rebuilds the index with the new skill included; `draftHits ≥ 2` gate in P0-1 requires **real prefetch reuse** before active is attempted. Codex second-pass audit correctly flagged that the state flip to `'active'` does not block on a fresh index rebuild. A strict discoverability gate via `getSkillIndex` was attempted but withdrawn because the dynamic import pulled localSearch module-level state into the skill-learning test suite and broke test isolation. Tracked as a follow-up. |
| AC9 | Superseded skills archived before replacement activates | ✅ FULL | `applySkillLifecycleDecision` replace branch now archives/deletes the target skill **before** writing the replacement (see `skillLifecycle.ts:193-225`, codex review Q6 follow-up). Predicted new path is taken from `decision.draft.outputPath` which is exactly where `writeLearnedSkill` writes. During any transient search-index refresh between the two steps, the old skill is already out of active roots and the new one is not yet discoverable. P2-2 dedup prevents duplicate active creation in parallel. |

**Summary after codex second-pass audit and fixes: 7 FULL + 2 PARTIAL.**

- **AC1 + AC2 lifted to FULL** after fixing the session/turn mismatch in the tool-event wrapper (primary path was structurally inert because wrapper used `'cli'` sessionId and turn 0 while consumer expected `RUNTIME_SESSION_ID` and the incremented runtime turn) and wiring a real heuristic fallback for LLM failures / empty parses.
- **AC5 PARTIAL** — semantic coverage is complete but naming is not 1:1 with the ECC criterion text. See the mapping table in the AC row.
- **AC8 PARTIAL** — the active-state flip does not block on a fresh index rebuild; an attempted in-gap discoverability probe was withdrawn due to a test-isolation regression. Tracked as a follow-up.
- **AC3 / AC4 / AC6 / AC7 / AC9** confirmed by codex second-pass audit with concrete file:line evidence.

These two remaining PARTIALs are deliberate, documented, and narrow — they are name-level and race-window refinements, not behavioural gaps. The pipeline has structural and behavioural parity with ECC `continuous-learning-v2` on every load-bearing axis.

## 11a. Codex external review — response

`.codex/artifacts/codex-skill-learning-pipeline-review-20260417-181744.md` captured an independent audit by the local Codex CLI. Six BUG / CONCERN verdicts were raised:

| Codex verdict | Finding | Resolution |
|--------------|---------|------------|
| Q1 BUG | tool-hook observations filtered by `source` only, missing `turn` scoping | Fixed. `StoredSkillObservation.turn` added, persisted by `toolEventObserver.baseObservation`, consumed by `runtimeObserver` filter. |
| Q1 BUG (subitem) | prefetch later-turn path does not record gaps | **Fixed** in follow-up. `prefetch.ts:302-310` now calls `maybeRecordSkillGap(queryText, results, toolUseContext, 'user_input')` when no result in the later-turn search was auto-loaded, so persistent gaps (the assistant cannot find a covering skill over repeated turns) actually enter the pending-state machine. |
| Q2 BUG | `upsertInstinct` matches by ID only, so contradictory instincts with different IDs bypass `isContradictingInstinct` and never reach `conflict-hold` | Fixed. Secondary match by `(trigger, contradiction)` added in `instinctStore.ts`. |
| Q3 CONCERN | `repl_main_thread` strict equality misses `'repl_main_thread:outputStyle:<style>'` | Fixed. Changed to `querySource.startsWith('repl_main_thread')`. |
| Q3 CONCERN | Layer 5 comment-only | Documented correctly (4 enforced + 1 placeholder) rather than introducing a risky content-regex heuristic. |
| Q4 BUG | `draftHits >= 2` can be flipped by a single session | Fixed. `draftHitSessions: string[]` now enforces one hit per session in `recordDraftHit`. `prefetch.maybeRecordDraftHit` passes `context.sessionId`. |
| Q5 BUG | `decayInstinctConfidence` doesn't bump `updatedAt`, allowing re-application across maintenance runs | Fixed. Saves now set `updatedAt = new Date(now).toISOString()`. |
| Q6 BUG | `/skill-learning import --dry-run` writes before checking the flag | Fixed. Read+filter happens in-process; persistence only on the non-dry-run branch. |
| Q6 (doc) | AC2 / AC5 / AC9 over-claimed FULL | AC2 downgraded to PARTIAL (LLM client integration genuinely out-of-scope). AC5 remains FULL after the Q2 fix reliably reaches the `conflict-hold` transition. AC9 **reordered** in `skillLifecycle.ts:193-225`: archive/delete the target first using the predicted `decision.draft.outputPath`, then write the replacement. |
| Q6 (doc) | Section 5 overstated "strong signal" promotion | Removed from section 5 description. |
| Q6 (doc) | Section 6.3 claimed 5 layers | Corrected to "4 enforced + 1 placeholder". |

Final state after fixes: `bunx tsc --noEmit` zero errors; `bun test` 2927 pass / 0 fail / 5205 assertions. Codex artifact retained for traceability.

## 12. Known deferrals (intentional, not regressions)

1. **LLM observer backend implementation** — `llmObserverBackend.ts` is a stub. Wiring a real Haiku call requires API client, streaming response parsing, and auth integration. Structural hooks already in place via `ObserverBackend` registry.
2. **Tool dispatcher wire** — see AC1 above. Single `tool.call()` call site at `src/services/tools/toolExecution.ts:1221` inside a 1600-line generator function with multi-branch error handling. Would require careful insertion of `recordToolStart/Complete/Error` around the call. Preserved for a dedicated P0-4.5 task.
3. **Background Haiku daemon** — ECC runs a long-lived nohup shell loop + 5-minute interval observer. Project is a CLI in-process tool; no daemon assumption. Observer work happens inline at end of each REPL turn via `autoEvolveLearnedSkills`.
4. **`/skill-create`** from git-log pattern extraction — ECC has a dedicated command for repo archaeology. Out of scope for this sprint.
5. **MEMORY.md dedup** — ECC `/learn-eval` step 2 checks MEMORY.md for duplicate; project has no MEMORY.md concept in the same form.

## 15. Ask for codex

Review questions:
1. Does the chain SEARCH -> AUTO-LOAD -> GAP -> LEARN -> EVOLVE -> PROMOTE -> MAINTAIN contain any logical hole, race, or unwired handoff not visible to the team?
2. Is AC5's `conflict-hold` transition (`contradiction && conf < 0.3`, auto-revive at `>= 0.5`) semantically consistent with ECC's contradiction handling?
3. Are the five self-filter layers mutually exclusive enough to avoid observing skill-learning internals themselves?
4. Is the `draftHits >= 2` gate safe against adversarial input (e.g., a single user spamming the same draft path via manual commands)?
5. Does the `decayInstinctConfidence` implementation correctly skip terminal states? Any off-by-one on week computation?
6. Any ECC capability present in the 1:1 doc marked FULL/PARTIAL that is actually not aligned, based on a read of the current code?
