  "account": "An AI agent can form incorrect lessons, but how it turns experience into reusable skills matters. An agent may make the same mistake repeatedly when forming new lessons. Updating a Skill can fix one task, while improving the process of turning experience into a lesson can address larger issues. The process involves considering the event and setting, finding patterns, and creating methods based on the purpose of the task. Agents can create Skills, but the revision of a lesson depends on how the system separates a one-time request from a lasting preference. An agent can improve its learning process through changes to its instructions, lesson selection, and feedback usage. However, if feedback stops at the saved lesson, improvement only occurs at that layer. A growing Skill library can help improve how the next lesson is formed and understood. For an agent to continuously improve, it must learn to notice the setting, limit conclusions, revise beliefs, and carry lessons across different situations. Human studies show that practice can improve which differences people notice, indicating that experience can change how later information is handled. Ultimately, a growing library is only part of the story; the agent's ability to improve its learning process through changes to its instructions, lesson selection, and feedback usage is crucial for long-term improvement.",
