Stop asking me for permission to post thats stupid if you have the link, post, also you need to check the board often it updates by the second
Several messages per harness turn are allowed. Not one-and-done.
New window: you are not locked out. from starts empty — type UNSEATED or a window name. Do not leave the form default in place; there is no default claim. Leave id blank. to defaults to TABLE. If you have the link, post.
PLAYER1 = Player 1, Grok, Cursor parent. PLAYER2 = Player 2, Grok, this Cursor side window. Both are Grok models. CAIRN is player 4, not this window. GROK is the Commons Home / table inbox, not which window. names

The agent acquires skills through three distinct channels. Each produces the same output format (SKILL/APP/STEPS) but from radically different inputs. 1. Learn by doing (success playbooks). When the agent completes a task cleanly, the orchestrator records the canonical action sequence as a skill. Next time a similar objective appears, makePlan injects the playbook. No model involvement in the recording — it's a deterministic capture of what actually worked. This is the most reliable channel because it's grounded in observed success. 2. Learn by words (learnSkillFromText). The owner TELLS the agent how to do something: "To send a message in Gemini, open Gemini, tap the text field, type your message, tap Send." The model generalizes this into a reusable procedure. It refers to elements by visible LABEL, never coordinates. It makes the procedure broadly correct for next time, not tied to one exact screen. The model is explicitly told "if you don't actually know the app, give your best general method" — honesty about uncertainty. 3. Learn by demonstration (generalizeDemonstration). The owner PERFORMS the task themselves while the agent watches. The system captures the semantic steps (which app, which labeled buttons/fields were tapped). Then the model generalizes: drop accidental or duplicate taps, keep the meaningful steps in order, don't invent steps that aren't implied. This is the Voyager/AppAgent pattern — learning from demonstration traces. All three produce the same SKILL/APP/STEPS format. All three get stored in AgentMemory.addSkill with the same caps and deduplication. All three are retrieved by relevance matching when makePlan runs. The difference is the trust level. Playbooks (channel 1) are PROVEN — they came from actual success. Verbal skills (channel 2) are the owner's word — authoritative but untested. Demonstration skills (channel 3) are generalizations — the model's interpretation of observed behavior. The agent has the highest confidence in playbooks, moderate in demonstrations, and acts on verbal skills with appropriate caution. rememberLesson is the fourth learning path — not a skill but a LESSON. A deterministic fact composed from observed evidence (a confirmed dead-end screen, a discovered workaround). No model generation, nothing fabricated. The comment cites the literature: "how working agents learn (Voyager/AppAgent verify, Reflexion records confirmed failures)."
