> - Ask it to update the skill to warn it against making that mistake again

Yep! I have a canned prompt that basically boils down to "scroll up, read through and give me the top `n` things that were difficult..." and more often than not a small skill or change to `agents.md` comes out of that.

Why do you think it can answer that? It has zero clue.

Technically speaking: it can't, any more than it can actually answer any other thing you ask it to do.

But in practice it does produce fairly reasonable output fairly often, and if you've been there watching and correcting it you can probably validate the result quite easily. "Re-read everything before" and similar are definitely anthropomorphizing, but that doesn't mean they're ineffective.

It can easily detect repeated failed attempts at a non obvious problem such as incorrect documentation or missing run flags

Why wouldn’t it?
