What it does
Continual Learning is an agent skill from cursor/plugins, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Orchestrate continual learning by delegating transcript mining and AGENTS.md updates to agents-memory-updater.
Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Agent instruction files. The repository describes itself as: Cursor plugin specification and official plugins.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Agent instruction files
Example prompts
- “/continual-learning”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Call agents-memory-updater.
- Return the updater result.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f451cf. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Continual Learning loads about 159 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 tokens; SKILL.md has 62 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 62 words (~159 tokens).
“Keep AGENTS.md current by delegating the memory update flow to one subagent.”
