What it does
Aiception is a continuous-learning routine: during a task the agent asks whether the work produced knowledge worth keeping and, if so, writes it up as a new skill. It starts from the `/aiception` command, from requests such as 'save this as a skill' or 'what did we learn?', and after non-obvious debugging or trial-and-error discovery. The skill stresses being selective, since not every task yields a skill.
Candidates qualify as non-obvious solutions, misleading errors with their real causes, tool integration knowledge, workflow optimizations or project-specific patterns, and must be reusable, non-trivial, specific and verified. Before writing, the agent searches Open Brain for existing knowledge and the project and user skill folders for related skills, then updates an existing skill, creates a new one or adds cross-references depending on the match. For technology topics it also checks current documentation.
When your agent uses it
- Capturing a hard-won debugging fix as a reusable skill
- Reviewing a finished session for lessons worth keeping
- Updating an existing skill with a new variant of a known problem
Example prompts
- “Save this as a skill: the build failed because of the cache path, not the compiler error.”
- “What did we learn in this session that is worth keeping?”
- “Run /aiception on this session and extract anything reusable.”
Requirements
- An Open Brain connection that can search stored thoughts
Workflow steps
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Search Open Brain for Existing Knowledge
- Check for Existing Skills
- Research Current Best Practices
- Structure the Skill
- Save the Skill
- Capture to Open Brain
- Quality Gate Checklist
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 238df6c. 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 (its code samples are markdown).
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
Aiception Skill Extraction loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 779 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: notes
The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.
- NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:170
what's stored in the server's .env file. - NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:186
(2) API key from .env returns 401 but MCP config key works,
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
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 779 words (~1,955 tokens).
“A continuous learning system that extracts reusable knowledge from work sessions and codifies it into new skills. This enables autonomous improvement over time.”
