Instead of an apology, the correction goes into local storage via `watch-skill lessons add "" "" ""`. You get back an error class and guidance for next time. Where possible the original question is re-asked right after the lesson is written. That tells you whether the corrected answer comes back, and the agent reports which it was. Nothing is uploaded — lessons live in `~/.watch-skill/`. Run `watch-skill lessons list` to see what has accumulated. `watch-skill stats` reports lifetime token economics: what text-first answering and the semantic cache saved against stuffing raw frames into context. Only `Bash` and `Read` are allowed, so everything goes through the local CLI. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill learning-from-mistakes -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/learning-from-mistakes/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/learning-from-mistakes/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill learning-from-mistakes -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/learning-from-mistakes/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill learning-from-mistakes -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/learning-from-mistakes/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install oxbshw/watch-skill learning-from-mistakes ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/learning-from-mistakes/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill learning-from-mistakes -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill --path skills/learning-from-mistakes ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/learning-from-mistakes/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill learning-from-mistakes -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill/tree/HEAD/skills/learning-from-mistakes/SKILL.md ## When to use it - capture a correction as a lesson instead of losing it in the chat - check whether an answer improves after a lesson is recorded - list every lesson saved so far - see token savings from text-first answering and the cache ## Example prompts - I corrected that answer — wrong timestamp, save it as a lesson - show me what you've learned about this video - how many tokens did text-first answering save? show me the stats ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

Report it and Watch Skill learns locally — the mistake is classified, stored as a lesson, injected into future similar questions, and where possible the original question is immediately re-asked to confirm the lesson actually fixes it. ## Report a correction The moment the user corrects a video answer, run: ```bash watch-skill lessons add "" "" "" ``` The output includes the lesson (`error_class`, `guidance`) and, when the question was re-asked, whether the corrected answer now comes back — tell the user which it was.
