Continual Learning

Automatically and incrementally keeps AGENTS.md up to date by mining your AI-assisted coding transcripts. Works in both Cursor and Claude Code — teammates using either tool contribute to the same shared memory file.

The plugin watches your conversation turns and periodically extracts recurring corrections and durable workspace facts, then commits them to a dedicated continual-learning branch. Your team curates what lands on main.

Quick install

You're using an AI coding agent — let it handle the setup. Copy the prompt below and paste it into a new conversation.

Claude Code

Install the continual-learning plugin from the GitHub repo samdu/continual-learning-plugin. First ensure bun is installed (bun --version; if missing, install it with curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash). Then register the repo as a plugin marketplace and install the plugin:

claude plugin marketplace add samdu/continual-learning-plugin
claude plugin install continual-learning

Verify the plugin is installed with claude plugin list.

Cursor

Copy this prompt into a Cursor conversation:

Install the continual-learning plugin from https://github.com/samdu/continual-learning-plugin. First ensure bun is installed (bun --version; if missing, install it with curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash). Then clone the repo into the Cursor plugin cache so it's available across all projects:

COMMIT=$(git ls-remote https://github.com/samdu/continual-learning-plugin HEAD | cut -f1)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/samdu/continual-learning-plugin.git \
  ~/.cursor/plugins/cache/cursor-public/continual-learning/$COMMIT

After cloning, reload the Cursor window (Cmd+Shift+P → "Developer: Reload Window") so Cursor picks up the new plugin.

If your team is on a Cursor Teams or Enterprise plan, an admin can also import this repo as a team marketplace (Dashboard > Settings > Plugins > Import) for one-click installs.

curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash

COMMIT=$(git ls-remote https://github.com/samdu/continual-learning-plugin HEAD | cut -f1)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/samdu/continual-learning-plugin.git \
  ~/.cursor/plugins/cache/cursor-public/continual-learning/$COMMIT

/plugin marketplace add samdu/continual-learning-plugin
/plugin install continual-learning

claude plugin marketplace add samdu/continual-learning-plugin
claude plugin install continual-learning

How it works

A stop hook fires after each completed conversation turn. When enough turns have accumulated and enough time has passed, the hook tells the agent to run the continual-learning skill, which:

1. Reads the current AGENTS.md from the continual-learning branch in git (not the local filesystem).
2. Scans transcripts from both Cursor and Claude Code across all worktrees.
3. Processes only new or changed transcripts (incremental index).
4. Extracts high-signal patterns — recurring corrections, durable workspace facts.
5. Commits the updated AGENTS.md to the continual-learning branch and pushes.

Two-tier workflow

Tier 1 (automated): Each skill run commits directly to a long-lived continual-learning branch. No PR, no review friction — learnings accumulate immediately.
