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?
