## Human-in-the-Loop

### Feedback Collection

## Self-Improvement Summary

I've learned from our session and updated:

### Updated Skills
- `debugger`: Added callback verification pattern
- `prd-planner`: Enhanced UI/UX specification requirements

### Patterns Extracted
1. **state_monitoring_over_callbacks**: Use usePrevious for state-driven side effects
2. **ui_ux_specification_granularity**: Explicit visual specs prevent rework

### Confidence Levels
- New patterns: 0.85 (needs validation)
- Reinforced patterns: 0.95 (well-established)

### Your Feedback
Rate these improvements (1-10):
- Were the updates helpful?
- Should I apply this pattern more broadly?
- Any corrections needed?
```

### Feedback Integration

```yaml
User Feedback:
  positive (rating >= 7):
    action: Increase pattern confidence
    scope: Expand to related skills

  neutral (rating 4-6):
    action: Keep pattern, gather more data
    scope: Current skill only

  negative (rating <= 3):
    action: Decrease confidence, revise pattern
    scope: Remove from active patterns
```

## Templates
