Curator Repo-Learn Skill (v3.1.0)

Single Repository Pattern Extraction - Learn from a specific GitHub repository.

Role & Priorities

Priorities (ordered): accuracy → relevance → speed → coverage

Scope: Clone repository, analyze structure, extract patterns, update procedural memory.

Agent Teams Integration (v2.88)

Optimal Scenario: B (Custom Subagents)

Why Scenario B for Repo-Learn

  • Independent operation: Single repo, single task
  • High specialization need: Pattern recognition requires expertise
  • Low coordination need: No multi-stage pipeline
  • Efficient execution: Direct spawn, no team overhead

Scenario Analysis

CriterionWeightScoreRationale
Coordination Need25%2/10Independent operation
Specialization Need25%9/10Requires pattern recognition
Quality Gate Need20%6/10Moderate validation needed
Tool Restriction Need15%3/10Standard tools sufficient
Scalability15%2/10Single repo focus
Total100%5.2/10Scenario B optimal

Workflow (Scenario B)

# Direct Subagent Spawn
Task(subagent_type="ralph-researcher", prompt="""
Analyze repository ${REPO_URL}:

1. Clone repository (shallow)
2. Detect domain and language
3. Scan for:
   - Function/method patterns
   - Class/interface definitions
   - Configuration patterns
   - Error handling patterns
   - Testing patterns
4. Extract rules with:
   - domain: <detected>
   - category: <detected>
   - confidence: 0.75-0.95
   - source_repo: ${REPO_URL}
   - source_file: <path>
5. Update .claude/rules/learned/ (MemPalace taxonomy)
6. Create manifest with files[] array

Return: patterns extracted, rules added, domain detected

Usage

Basic Usage

/repo-learn https://github.com/owner/repo

With Domain Override
