Prompt and Skill Update

When many trajectories reveal one strategic mistake, expressible in words – elevate it from “recommended practice” to “mandatory rule”.

System prompt learning (Carpathian term): model without a notebook – like the hero of “Memento”.

Change – minimal diff based on a cluster of homogeneous failures, specifying scope and conflict checking; evaluate on edge cases and the old set.

For Skill: first look for a close ability in the library (local patch instead of a new directory); candidate Skill describes when to load, preconditions, steps, pitfalls, how to verify.

DSPy, OPRO, GEPA – automated offline optimization; production – constant minimal edits.
