Self-Improvement Summary

I've learned from our session and updated:

Updated Skills

`debugger`: Added callback verification pattern

`prd-planner`: Enhanced UI/UX specification requirements

Patterns Extracted

1. state_monitoring_over_callbacks: Use usePrevious for state-driven side effects 2. ui_ux_specification_granularity: Explicit visual specs prevent rework

Confidence Levels

New patterns: 0.85 (needs validation)

Reinforced patterns: 0.95 (well-established)

Your Feedback

Rate these improvements (1-10):

Were the updates helpful?

Should I apply this pattern more broadly?

Any corrections needed?

```

Feedback Integration

```yaml User Feedback: positive (rating >= 7): action: Increase pattern confidence scope: Expand to related skills

neutral (rating 4-6): action: Keep pattern, gather more data scope: Current skill only

negative (rating <= 3): action: Decrease confidence, revise pattern scope: Remove from active patterns ```

Templates

| Template | Purpose | |----------|---------| | `templates/pattern-template.md` | Adding new patterns | | `templates/correction-template.md` | Fixing incorrect guidance | | `templates/validation-template.md` | Validating skill accuracy |
