+
+## Three-Layer Learning System for LLM Agents
+
+### Layer 1: EPISODIC MEMORY (Raw Experience)
+
+Store every skill execution:
+
+```yaml
+episode:
+  task_id: "uuid"
+  skill_id: "skill.code-analysis"
+  input: { goal, context }
+  output: { results, quality_score }
+  success: true|false
+  duration_tokens: 1240
+  timestamp: "iso8601"
+  model_id: "agent-7b-v2"
+```
+
+**Storage**: `memory/episodes/{timestamp}.yaml`  
+**Purpose**: Complete execution history for replay and pattern mining  
+**Retention**: All episodes (auto-compress after 1000)
+
+### Layer 2: SEMANTIC MEMORY (Distilled Patterns)
+
+Extract reusable knowledge from episodes:
+
+```yaml
+semantic_pattern:
+  pattern_id: "pattern-2401-code-analysis-fast"
+  description: "When analyzing 100-500 LOC files, use fast-mode"
+  trigger: "file_size:100-500 AND skill:code-analysis"
+  action: "set mode: fast"
+  success_rate: 0.94
+  instances: 47
+  last_updated: "iso8601"
+```
+
+**Storage**: `memory/semantic/{pattern_id}.yaml`  
+**Purpose**: Quick lookup for decision-making  
+**Auto-built**: From episode analysis every 10 completed tasks
+
+### Layer 3: PROCEDURAL MEMORY (Scripts/Automation)
+
+Save proven execution sequences:
+
+```yaml
+procedure:
+  procedure_id: "proc-workflow-ci-recovery"
+  description: "Proven sequence for CI failure recovery"
+  skills_in_order:
+    - skill.ci-log-parser
+    - skill.error-diagnosis
+    - skill.code-fix-generator
+    - skill.test-validator
+    - skill.pr-creator
+  success_rate: 0.89
+  avg_tokens: 3420
+  reuse_count: 23
+```
+
+**Storage**: `memory/procedural/{procedure_id}.yaml`  
+**Purpose**: Direct reuse of proven sequences  
+**Auto-built**: When workflow succeeds consistently
+
+---
+
+## The 6-Phase Learning Loop (Runs on Every Skill Use)
+
+### Phase 1: PERCEPTION
+
+```yaml
+perception:
+  - retrieve_relevant_episodes (query: skill_id + context)
+  - retrieve_semantic_patterns (match trigger conditions)
+  - load_current_goal (what are we solving?)
+```
+
+### Phase 2: COGNITION
+
+```yaml
+cognition:
+  - select_skill (best match from registry)
+  - check_procedural_memory (is there a proven sequence?)
+  - evaluate_success_probability (historical success rate)
+  - choose_parameters (from past successes)
+```
+
+### Phase 3: ACTION
+
+```yaml
+action:
+  - execute_skill (with selected parameters)
+  - monitor_token_usage (track efficiency)
+  - log_real_time_state (working memory)
+```
+
+### Phase 4: REFLECTION
+
+```yaml
+reflection:
+  - evaluate_output_quality (against success criteria)
+  - grade_efficiency (tokens used vs. output quality)
+  - identify_failure_mode (if failed)
+  - extract_learning (3-5 specific insights)
+```
+
+### Phase 5: MEMORY_UPDATE
+
+```yaml
+memory_update:
+  - store_as_episode (raw execution record)
+  - extract_semantic_patterns (if new pattern found)
+  - update_procedural_memory (if sequence successful)
+  - increment_skill_mastery_score (improve with each use)
+```
+
+### Phase 6: DECISION
+
+```yaml
+decision:
+  - should_reuse_this_skill? (future tasks)
+  - should_combine_with_other_skills? (workflow potential)
+  - should_optimize_parameters? (efficiency gain)
+  - escalate_or_continue? (know your limits)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Skill Mastery Scoring (Agent Learning Metric)
+
+Every skill gets an **Agent Mastery Score** that improves with use:
+
+```yaml
+skill_mastery:
+  skill_id: "skill.code-analysis"
+  mastery_score: 0.87 # 0-1 scale
+  components:
+    success_rate: 0.91 # How often it succeeds
+    efficiency: 0.83 # Tokens used vs output quality
+    reuse_frequency: 0.89 # How often agent reuses it
+    quality_improvement: 0.78 # Improvement trend
+  episodes_completed: 147
+  last_update: "iso8601"
+  trend: "improving" # improving|stable|declining
+```
+
+**Auto-updated**: After every skill execution  
+**Used for**: Skill selection in future tasks  
+**Reinforces**: Agent learns what works best for it
+
+---
+
+## Workflow Intelligence (Agent Mastery of Orchestration)
+
+Workflow execution also improves with experience:
+
+```yaml
+workflow_intelligence:
+  workflow_id: "workflow.code-review-pipeline"
+  execution_count: 34
+  avg_success_rate: 0.92
+  optimal_skill_orders:
+    - order: [analysis, review, feedback]
+      success_rate: 0.94
+      frequency: 23
+    - order: [review, analysis, feedback]
+      success_rate: 0.87
+      frequency: 11
+  learned_parameters:
+    review_depth: "thorough_for_critical_files"
+    parallel_execution: "yes"
+    feedback_format: "structured_json"
+  performance_trend: "stable"
+```
+
+**Auto-learned**: Agent figures out best way to run workflows  
+**Adaptive**: Changes parameters based on context  
+**Persistent**: Remembers what works
+
+---
+
+## Integration Points (Skills → Workflows → Learning)
+
+### When Loading a Skill:
+
+```yaml
+skill_load_enrichment:
+  1. Check semantic_memory for "this skill + current context"
+  2. Get historical success_rate from mastery scores
+  3. Retrieve optimal parameters from past episodes
+  4. Load 3 relevant episodic memories for context
+  5. Execute skill with learned parameters
+  6. After execution → add to episodic memory
+  7. Extract patterns → update semantic memory
+  8. Update mastery score → improve for next use
+```
+
+### When Executing a Workflow:
+
+```yaml
+workflow_exec_enrichment:
+  1. Load workflow definition
+  2. Check workflow_intelligence for optimal skill order
+  3. For each skill in sequence:
+     - Load with enrichment (see above)
+     - Execute
+     - Log to episodic memory
+  4. Evaluate workflow success
+  5. If successful → save as procedural pattern
+  6. If failed → analyze failure mode
+  7. Update workflow_intelligence with results
+```
+
+### When Agent Encounters New Problem:
+
+```yaml
+novel_problem_handling: 1. Search semantic_memory for similar patterns
+  2. Retrieve analogous episodes
+  3. Adapt proven procedures to new context
+  4. Execute
+  5. Learn immediately (add to memory)
+  6. Next time → direct reuse or variation
+```
