# Skill and Knowledge Learning System for Luzia

> **Automatic learning from task completions and QA passes to improve future decision-making**

## Overview

The Skill and Knowledge Learning System enables Luzia to learn from successful task executions, automatically extracting and storing learnings in the knowledge graph for continuous improvement and intelligent task recommendations.

**Key Capabilities:**
- 🧠 Automatically extracts skills from task executions
- 📊 Learns from QA validation passes
- 💾 Stores learnings persistently in knowledge graph
- 🎯 Provides intelligent recommendations for future tasks
- 📈 Tracks skill usage and effectiveness over time
- 🔄 Integrates seamlessly with existing QA validator

## Quick Start

### Enable Learning in QA Validation

```bash
# Run QA validation with automatic learning extraction
python3 lib/qa_validator.py --learn --sync --verbose
```

### Get Recommendations for a Task

```python
from lib.skill_learning_engine import SkillLearningSystem

system = SkillLearningSystem()

recommendations = system.get_recommendations(
    "Optimize database performance",
    project="overbits"
)

for rec in recommendations:
    print(f"{rec['skill']}: {rec['confidence']:.0%}")
```

### View Skill Profile

```python
profile = system.get_learning_summary()
print(f"Total learnings: {profile['total_learnings']}")
print(f"Top skills: {profile['top_skills']}")
```

## How It Works

### The Learning Pipeline

```
Successful Task Completion
           ↓
QA Validation Passes
           ↓
Task Analysis (tools, patterns, duration)
           ↓
Skill Extraction (from tools, decisions, project)
           ↓
Learning Creation (with confidence scoring)
           ↓
Knowledge Graph Storage (research domain)
           ↓
Future Recommendations (for similar tasks)
```

### What Gets Learned

The system learns and stores:

**Tool Usage Skills**
- Which tools are used for which types of tasks
- Tool combinations that work well together
- Tool frequency and patterns
- Examples: tool_bash, tool_read, tool_edit, tool_write

**Decision Patterns**
- Optimization approaches
- Debugging strategies
- Testing methodologies
- Documentation practices
- Refactoring approaches
- Integration patterns
- Automation techniques

**Project Knowledge**
- Project-specific best practices
- Effective tool combinations per project
- Project-specific patterns and approaches

**Quality Metrics**
- Success rates by tool combination
- Task completion times
- QA pass rates by validation category

## Architecture

### Core Components

| Component | Purpose | Key Method |
|-----------|---------|-----------|
| **TaskAnalyzer** | Analyze task executions and extract patterns | `analyze_task()`, `extract_patterns()` |
| **SkillExtractor** | Extract skills from tasks and QA results | `extract_from_task()`, `extract_from_qa_results()` |
| **LearningEngine** | Create and store learnings | `extract_learning()`, `store_learning()` |
| **SkillRecommender** | Generate recommendations | `recommend_for_task()`, `get_skill_profile()` |
| **SkillLearningSystem** | Unified orchestrator | `process_task_completion()`, `get_recommendations()` |

### Knowledge Graph Integration

Learnings stored in the **research knowledge graph domain** with:
- **Entity Type:** `finding`
- **Full-Text Search:** Enabled (FTS5)
- **Storage:** `/etc/luz-knowledge/research.db`
- **Indexed Fields:** skills, confidence, applicability
- **Relations:** learning → skills (references relation)

## Features

### Automatic Learning Extraction

Triggered when:
1. Task completes successfully
2. QA validation passes all checks
3. No manual action required

### Intelligent Recommendations

Returns:
- Top 10 relevant skills for given task prompt
- Confidence scores (0.6-0.95 range)
- Applicable contexts (projects, tools, categories)
- Source learning references

### Confidence Scoring

Learning confidence calculated from:
- **Skill confidence:** 0.6-0.9 (based on evidence)
- **QA confidence:** 0.9 (all validations passed)
- **Combined:** Weighted average for final score

### Skill Profile Aggregation

Tracks:
- Total learnings stored
- Skills by category
- Top skills by frequency
- Extraction timestamp

## Integration with QA Validator

### Modified Files

- **qa_validator.py:** Added `--learn` flag support
- **qa_learning_integration.py:** New integration module
- **skill_learning_engine.py:** Core system (700+ lines)

### Usage

```bash
# Standard QA validation
python3 lib/qa_validator.py --sync --verbose

# QA with automatic learning extraction
python3 lib/qa_validator.py --learn --sync --verbose

# View integration statistics
python3 lib/qa_learning_integration.py --stats
```

## Examples

### Example 1: Process Task Completion

```python
from lib.skill_learning_engine import SkillLearningSystem

system = SkillLearningSystem()

task_data = {
    "task_id": "refactor_auth",
    "prompt": "Refactor authentication module",
    "project": "overbits",
    "status": "success",
    "tools_used": ["Read", "Edit", "Bash"],
    "duration": 45.2,
    "result_summary": "Successfully refactored",
    "qa_passed": True,
    "timestamp": "2026-01-09T12:00:00"
}

qa_results = {
    "passed": True,
    "results": {
        "syntax": True,
        "routes": True,
        "documentation": True,
    },
    "summary": {"errors": 0, "warnings": 0}
}

result = system.process_task_completion(task_data, qa_results)
print(f"Learning created: {result['learning_id']}")
print(f"Skills extracted: {result['skills_extracted']}")
```

### Example 2: Get Recommendations

```python
# For similar future task
recommendations = system.get_recommendations(
    "Improve authentication performance",
    project="overbits"
)

# Results show:
# - tool_read (85% confidence)
# - tool_edit (83% confidence)
# - tool_bash (82% confidence)
# - pattern_optimization (80% confidence)
```

### Example 3: Build Team Knowledge

```bash
# Day 1: Learn from deployment
python3 lib/qa_validator.py --learn --sync

# Day 2: Learn from optimization
python3 lib/qa_validator.py --learn --sync

# Day 3: Learn from debugging
python3 lib/qa_validator.py --learn --sync

# Now has learnings from all three task types
# Recommendations improve over time
```

## Testing

### Run Test Suite

```bash
# All tests
python3 -m pytest tests/test_skill_learning.py -v

# Specific test class
python3 -m pytest tests/test_skill_learning.py::TestSkillExtractor -v

# With coverage

## Knowledge Graph Storage

### Data Structure

```json
{
  "entity_type": "finding",
  "name": "learning_20260109_120000_Refactor_Database_Schema",
  "domain": "research",
  "content": "...[full learning description]...",
  "metadata": {
    "skills": ["tool_bash", "tool_read", "pattern_optimization"],
    "pattern": "refactoring_pattern",
    "confidence": 0.85,
    "applicability": ["overbits", "tool_bash", "decision", "architecture"],
    "extraction_time": "2026-01-09T12:00:00"
  },
  "source": "skill_learning_engine",
  "created_at": 1705000000.0,
  "updated_at": 1705000000.0
}
```

### Querying Learnings

```python
from lib.knowledge_graph import KnowledgeGraph

kg = KnowledgeGraph("research")

# Search for learnings
learnings = kg.search("database optimization", limit=10)

# Get specific learning
learning = kg.get_entity("learning_20260109_120000_...")

# Get all learnings
all_learnings = kg.list_entities(entity_type="finding")

# Get statistics
stats = kg.stats()
```

## Performance

| Operation | Time | Memory | Storage |
|-----------|------|--------|---------|
| Extract learning | ~100ms | - | ~5KB |
| Get recommendations | ~50ms | - | - |
| Store in KG | <50ms | - | ~2KB |
| Search learnings | ~30ms | - | - |

## Future Enhancements

- [ ] Batch processing
- [ ] Learning caching

### Medium Term (v1.2)
- [ ] Confidence evolution based on outcomes

- [ ] Cross-project learning
- [ ] Decision tracing

### Long Term (v2.0)
- [ ] Skill hierarchies (trees)
- [ ] Collaborative learning
- [ ] Adaptive task routing
- [ ] Feedback integration
- [ ] Pattern discovery and synthesis

## Troubleshooting

### Learnings Not Extracted

**Check:**
1. QA validation actually passed
2. Knowledge graph is accessible
3. Review verbose output

```bash
python3 lib/qa_validator.py --learn --verbose
```

### Empty Recommendations

**Possible causes:**
1. No learnings stored yet (run tasks with --learn first)
2. Task prompt doesn't match learning titles
3. Knowledge graph search not finding results

**Solution:**
```bash
# Check stored learnings
python3 lib/knowledge_graph.py list research finding

# Test recommendations
python3 lib/skill_learning_engine.py recommend --task-prompt "test" --project overbits
```

### Permission Denied

**Fix:**
1. Check `/etc/luz-knowledge/` permissions
2. Ensure user is in `ai-users` group
3. Check KG domain permissions
