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.
