What This Skill Does
Implements habit formation and procedural learning for AI agents, enabling them to develop preferences and shortcuts through repeated actions. Part of the AI Brain series.
Replaces manually coding reward-based learning loops by giving agents automatic habit tracking, procedural memory, and preference development.
When to Use It
- Train an AI agent to prefer efficient workflows through repetition
- Automate common multi-step tasks by reinforcing successful sequences
- Develop agent preferences for specific tools or response styles over time
- Implement reward-based learning to optimize agent decision-making
- Build procedural memory for frequently executed agent actions
- Create adaptive shortcuts that improve agent performance with use

Status: 🚧 Under Development
This skill is being developed. Star/watch for updates!
Concept
The basal ganglia is responsible for habit formation and procedural learning. This skill will give AI agents:
- Habit tracking — actions repeated become automatic preferences
- Procedural memory — "muscle memory" for common workflows
- Reward-based learning — reinforce patterns that work
- Preference development — "I always do X this way because it works"
