Three main techniques are covered: a 'generalize-knowledge' command that prompts the agent to summarize lessons learned into markdown files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md) after each task; daily reflection via cron jobs that review agent logs from the past 24 hours; and 'skills' — specific markdown prompt files that capture how to handle particular tasks, APIs, or workflows. The approach treats coding agents like new employees who need structured mechanisms to retain and build on past experience rather than repeating the same mistakes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
