replay-learnings
Replay Learnings surfaces relevant past mistakes, corrections, and patterns before starting a task by searching local learning logs and session history for keyword matches. Use this skill when beginning work on a task and requesting context like "what do I know about," "previous mistakes," or "remind me about" to apply proven patterns and avoid repeating errors.

# Replay Learnings
Like muscle memory for your coding sessions. Find and surface relevant learnings before you start working.
## Trigger
Use when starting a new task, saying "what do I know about", "before I start", "replay", or "remind me about".
## Workflow
1. Extract keywords from the task description (e.g. "auth refactor" → `auth`, `middleware`, `refactor`).
2. Search learnings/memory for matching patterns:
```bash
grep -i "auth\|middleware" .claude/LEARNED.md 2>/dev/null
grep -i "auth\|middleware" .claude/learning-log.md 2>/dev/null
grep -A2 "\[LEARN\]" CLAUDE.md | grep -i "auth\|middleware"
```
3. Check session history for similar work — what was the correction rate?
4. Surface the top learnings ranked by relevance.
5. If no learnings found, suggest starting with the scout agent to explore first.
## Output
```
REPLAY BRIEFING: <task>
=======================
Past learnings (ranked by relevance):
1. [Testing] Always mock external APIs in auth tests (applied 8x)
Mistake: Called live API in tests, caused flaky failures
2. [Navigation] Auth middleware is in src/middleware/ not src/auth/ (applied 5x)
3. [Quality] Add error boundary around auth state changes (applied 3x)
Session history for similar work:
- 2026-02-01: auth refactor — 23 edits, 2 corrections (8.7% rate)
- 2026-01-28: auth middleware — 15 edits, 4 corrections (26.7% rate)
^ Higher correction rate — review patterns before starting
Suggested approach:
- Mock external APIs (learning #1)
- Check src/middleware/ first for auth code (learning #2)
```
## Guardrails
- Rank by relevance, not recency.
- Include the original mistake context so the learning is actionable.
- Flag high correction-rate sessions as areas requiring extra care.
- If no learnings match, say so explicitly rather than forcing irrelevant results.Coordinate multiple Claude Code sessions as a team — lead + teammates with shared task lists, mailbox messaging, and file-lock claiming. Patterns for team sizing, task decomposition, and when to use teams vs sub-agents vs worktrees.
Auto-configure quality gates, hooks, and settings for a new project. Detects project type and sets up appropriate tooling. Use when onboarding a new codebase.
Decompose large-scale changes into independent units and spawn parallel agents in isolated worktrees. Use for migrations, refactors, codemods, and any change touching 10+ files with the same pattern.
Capture a user-reported defect as a durable GitHub issue written in the project's own domain language. Explores the codebase in parallel for context but never leaks file paths or line numbers into the issue. Use when the user reports a bug conversationally, runs a QA pass, or says "file an issue", "log this as a bug", "capture this".
Smart context compaction with state preservation. Saves critical files, task progress, and working state before compaction, restores after. Use before manual compact or when auto-compact triggers.
Analyzes and optimizes context window usage across sessions. Use when context feels bloated, sessions run slow, or approaching compaction limits.
Master the four operations of context engineering — Write, Select, Compress, Isolate. Manage token budgets, compaction strategies, and context partitioning to keep AI sessions sharp and efficient.
Optimize token usage and context management. Use when sessions feel slow, context is degraded, or you're running out of budget.
