Self-improvement vs Efficiency
There is this idea of self-learning in AI. Am I smarter today than I was yesterday by learning from yesterday's mistakes? Does anyone have any practical suggestions on this self-learning? I am seeing this tension. If the instruction is non-deterministic, then there are issues like prompt hacking. Besides the vulnerability aspect, there have also been numerous cases of AI agents not doing specifically what was asked. This "may or may not happen" aspect to any plain English instruction given to an AI agent. It's a request not a command. The way to solve this is to convert the instruction from plain English to some coding language and run that piece of code. Usually python works. But moving to python kills the self-improvement loop. All self-improvement options I have seen (SkillOpt for example) work on improving instructions in plain English. A request can improve over time but a command is frozen in the time it was created. Wonder how people see this tension of being more efficient today (python code) vs being smarter tomorrow (Prose in a skill)?

I stopped treating every mistake as a prompt problem. If the same thing fails twice, I add one short rule to AGENTS.md. That gives the agent a durable lesson instead of asking it to remember the whole conversation. For repeated work, I turn it into a script or an automated test. Tests are the useful part: “make the button save” stays vague; a test that fails when the button does not save gives the agent a concrete target. Not every instruction can become code. For repeatable, verifiable work, freeze the outcome into a test and rerun it after each change.
