description: Self-correction protocol - capture mistakes as learnings, compound improvements over time
alwaysApply: true

When corrected or when a mistake is identified:
1. Acknowledge specifically what went wrong
2. Propose a concise rule: `[LEARN] Category: One-line rule`
3. Wait for approval before persisting the learning

Categories: Navigation, Editing, Testing, Git, Quality, Context, Architecture, Performance

Learnings compound over time. A correction today prevents the same mistake tomorrow.

Trigger phrases that indicate a correction: "remember this", "add to rules", "don't do that again"
