Coding agent errors: developer proposes structured lesson management

A developer suggests a structured approach to managing errors and improvements in coding agents, moving beyond simple chat corrections. The strategy involves categorizing lessons learned into distinct components like agent configurations, specific skills, hooks, and independent review loops. This method aims to prevent repeated mistakes by embedding corrections in more durable formats than chat logs, thereby improving agent performance over time without overwhelming prompts with unnecessary instructions.
