Learning from mistakes

SkillMedia

The user corrected an answer about a video — "no, it actually says X", "that's the wrong timestamp", "you misread the error code" — or asks why a video answer was wrong. Use this to record the correction as a lesson so future answers on similar questions improve, and to show what the system has learned and saved.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Connect ahel once, and every AI you use reads what you have installed.

Then ask your AI: use the Learning from mistakes skill

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by oxbshw/watch-skill in skills/learning-from-mistakes/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

When a video answer turns out wrong, the correction is worth more than an apology. Report it and Watch Skill learns locally — the mistake is classified, stored as a lesson, injected into future similar questions, and where possible the original question is immediately re-asked to confirm the lesson actually fixes it.

Report a correction

The moment the user corrects a video answer, run:

watch-skill lessons add <video_id> "<question>" "<the wrong answer>" "<the correction>"

The output includes the lesson (error_class, guidance) and, when the question was re-asked, whether the corrected answer now comes back — tell the user which it was. Nothing is uploaded; lessons live in ~/.watch-skill/.

Lifetime token economics: what text-first answering and the semantic cache have saved versus stuffing raw frames into context. Quote real numbers from it when the user asks whether any of this is worth it.
