description: "[DEPRECATED - use continuous-learning-v2] Legacy v1 stop-hook skill extractor. v2 is a strict superset with instinct-based, project-scoped, hook-reliable learning. Do not invoke v1; route continuous learning, session learning, and pattern extraction requests to continuous-learning-v2."

# Continuous Learning Skill - DEPRECATED

> **DEPRECATED 2026-04-28.** Use `continuous-learning-v2` instead. v2 is a strict superset: stop-hook observation becomes PreToolUse/PostToolUse observation, full skills become atomic instincts with confidence scoring, and global-only storage becomes project-scoped plus global promotion.

## Original v1 Documentation (archival)

Automatically evaluates Claude Code sessions on end to extract reusable patterns that can be saved as learned skills.

## When to Activate

- Setting up automatic pattern extraction from Claude Code sessions
- Configuring the Stop hook for session evaluation
- Reviewing or curating learned skills in `~/.claude/skills/learned/`
- Adjusting extraction thresholds or pattern categories
- Comparing v1 (this) vs v2 (instinct-based) approaches

## Status

This v1 skill is still supported, but `continuous-learning-v2` is the preferred path for new installs. Keep v1 when you explicitly want the simpler Stop-hook extraction flow or need compatibility with older learned-skill workflows.

## How It Works

This skill runs as a **Stop hook** at the end of each session:

1. **Session Evaluation**: Checks if session has enough messages (default: 10+)
2. **Pattern Detection**: Identifies extractable patterns from the session
3. **Skill Extraction**: Saves useful patterns to `~/.claude/skills/learned/`

## Configuration

Edit `config.json` to customize:

```json
{
  "min_session_length": 10,
  "extraction_threshold": "medium",
  "auto_approve": false,
  "learned_skills_path": "
