Excerpt

Learning Capture

Log corrections, errors, and discoveries to orbital/LESSONS.md so future sessions avoid repeating mistakes.

When to Use

Activate this skill whenever one of three triggers fires:

User correction -- the user says "no, do X instead" or "that's wrong." Log what you did, what the user wanted, and the corrected approach.
Tool failure recovery -- a tool call fails and you find a working alternative. Log the failing call, the error, and the fix.
Non-obvious discovery -- you learn something surprising about the project (e.g., a config file that overrides defaults, an undocumented API quirk). Log the finding and where you found it.
