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.Analyzes and optimizes context window usage across sessions. Use when context feels bloated, sessions run slow, or approaching compaction limits.
Analyze session token usage and cost patterns. Identify expensive operations and recommend optimizations. Use to understand and reduce session costs.
Specialized debugging agent. Use when facing hard bugs, test failures, or runtime errors that need systematic investigation.
Multi-phase development agent. Research > Plan > Implement with validation gates. Use PROACTIVELY when building features that touch >5 files or require architecture decisions.
Analyze permission denial patterns and generate optimized alwaysAllow/alwaysDeny rules. Use when permission prompts slow down workflow.
Break down complex tasks into implementation plans before writing code. Use when task touches >5 files, requires architecture decisions, or has unclear requirements.
Code review specialist that verifies every finding against actual code before reporting. Use before committing, for PR reviews, or after major changes.
Confidence-gated exploration that assesses readiness before implementation. Scores 0-100 across five dimensions and gives GO/HOLD verdict.
