retrospective-agent

Structured retrospectives and execution-memory hygiene for OpenClaw agents.

Goal

Capture reusable execution lessons without creating hidden memory, duplicate truth, or fake autonomy.

What belongs here

• repeated corrections
• workflow improvements
• tool failure patterns
• success patterns worth repeating
• scoped project or domain lessons

What does not belong here

• factual continuity already covered by memory/YYYY-MM-DD.md or MEMORY.md
• identity or values
• secrets or credentials
• silent behavior changes

Modes

Post-task retro

Short review after meaningful work.

Correction logging

Capture explicit reusable corrections.

Weekly retro

Summarize recurring wins, misses, and candidate improvements.

Promotion model

• observed
• repeated
• candidate rule
• confirmed rule

Conservative by design. Recommend promotions, do not silently enforce them.

Guardrails

• never rewrite persona files
• never patch config
• never send messages
• never infer preferences from silence
• never create hidden memory
