Skills Discovery

Announce: "Analyzing workflows for skill gaps..."

Identify opportunities for new skills based on repeated patterns.

When to Use

Trigger	Action
Same correction made 3+ times	Skill to prevent error
Complex workflow repeated	Skill to standardize
Agent confusion patterns	Skill to clarify
New tool/integration	Skill to document usage

Step 1: Search Memory for Patterns

# Find repeated corrections
fetch_lessons_learned(query="correction mistake error", max_results=20)

# Find behavioral signals
search_memory_nodes(query="correction pattern", entity="BehavioralSignal", max_nodes=10)

# Find decisions that need enforcement
search_memory_facts(query="decision standard process", max_facts=15)

Step 2: Analyze Patterns

Group findings by:

Category	Indicates
Repeated "Negation" lessons	Skill to prevent misunderstanding
Repeated "Replacement" lessons	Skill to enforce correct approach
Multiple decisions in one area	Skill to consolidate guidance
Tool-specific errors	Skill to document tool usage

Step 3: Propose New Skills

## Proposed Skill: [name]

### Evidence

- Lesson (uuid: xxx): [pattern]
- Lesson (uuid: xxx): [pattern]

### Problem

[What keeps going wrong]

### Solution

Skill that:

- [What it would do]
- [When it would trigger]
- [What it would prevent]

### Estimated Impact

[How much time/errors this would save]

Step 4: Capture Discovery

add_memory(
    name="Skill Gap: [area]",
    episode_body="Identified need for [skill type] based on [evidence]. Proposed: [brief description].",
    source="text"
)

Skill Templates

Error Prevention Skill

Verification Checkpoint

• Memory searched for repeated corrections
• Patterns grouped and analyzed
• At least one skill proposed with evidence
• Discovery captured to memory
