# ReasoningBank Intelligence

## What This Skill Does

Implements ReasoningBank's adaptive learning system for AI agents to learn from experience, recognize patterns, and optimize strategies over time. Enables meta-cognitive capabilities and continuous improvement.

## Prerequisites

- agentic-flow v3.0.0-alpha.1+
- AgentDB v3.0.0-alpha.10+ (for persistence)
- Node.js 18+

## Quick Start

```typescript
import { ReasoningBank } from "agentic-flow/reasoningbank";

// Initialize ReasoningBank
const rb = new ReasoningBank({
  persist: true,
  learningRate: 0.1,
  adapter: "agentdb", // Use AgentDB for storage
});

// Record task outcome
await rb.recordExperience({
  task: "code_review",
  approach: "static_analysis_first",
  outcome: {
    success: true,
    metrics: {
      bugs_found: 5,
      time_taken: 120,
      false_positives: 1,
    },
  },
  context: {
    language: "typescript",
    complexity: "medium",
  },
});

// Get optimal strategy
const strategy = await rb.recommendStrategy("code_review", {
  language: "typescript",
  complexity: "high",
});
```

## Core Features

### 1. Pattern Recognition

```typescript
// Learn patterns from data
await rb.learnPattern({
  pattern: "api_errors_increase_after_deploy",
  triggers: ["deployment", "traffic_spike"],
  actions: ["rollback", "scale_up"],
  confidence: 0.85,
});

// Match patterns
const matches = await rb.matchPatterns(currentSituation);
```

### 2. Strategy Optimization

```typescript
// Compare strategies
const comparison = await rb.compareStrategies("bug_fixing", [
  "tdd_approach",
  "debug_first",
  "reproduce_then_fix",
]);

// Get best strategy
const best = comparison.strategies[0];
console.log(`Best: ${best.name} (score: ${best.score})`);
```

### 3. Continuous Learning

```typescript
// Enable auto-learning from all tasks
await rb.enableAutoLearning({
  threshold: 0.7, // Only learn from high-confidence outcomes
  updateFrequency: 100, // Update models every 100 experiences
});
```

## Advanced Usage

### Meta-Learning

```typescript
// Learn about learning
await rb.metaLearn({
  observation: "parallel_execution_faster_for_independent_tasks",
  confidence: 0.95,
  applicability: {
    task_types: ["batch_processing", "data_transformation"],
    conditions: ["tasks_independent", "io_bound"],
  },
});
```

### Transfer Learning

```typescript
// Apply knowledge from one domain to another
await rb.transferKnowledge({
  from: "code_review_javascript",
  to: "code_review_typescript",
  similarity: 0.8,
});
```

### Adaptive Agents

```typescript
// Create self-improving agent
class AdaptiveAgent {
  async execute(task: Task) {
    // Get optimal strategy
    const strategy = await rb.recommendStrategy(task.type, task.context);

    // Execute with strategy
    const result = await this.executeWithStrategy(task, strategy);

    // Learn from outcome
    await rb.recordExperience({
      task: task.type,
      approach: strategy.name,
      outcome: result,
      context: task.context,
    });

    return result;
  }
}
```

## Integration with AgentDB

```typescript
// Persist ReasoningBank data
await rb.configure({
  storage: {
    type: "agentdb",
    options: {
      database: "./reasoning-bank.db",
      enableVectorSearch: true,
    },
  },
});

// Query learned patterns
const patterns = await rb.query({
  category: "optimization",
  minConfidence: 0.8,
  timeRange: { last: "30d" },
});
```

## Performance Metrics

```typescript
// Track learning effectiveness
const metrics = await rb.getMetrics();
console.log(`
  Total Experiences: ${metrics.totalExperiences}
  Patterns Learned: ${metrics.patternsLearned}
  Strategy Success Rate: ${metrics.strategySuccessRate}
  Improvement Over Time: ${metrics.improvement}
`);
```

## Best Practices

1. **Record consistently**: Log all task outcomes, not just successes
2. **Provide context**: Rich context improves pattern matching
3. **Set thresholds**: Filter low-confidence learnings
4. **Review periodically**: Audit learned patterns for quality
5. **Use vector search**: Enable semantic pattern matching

## Troubleshooting

### Issue: Poor recommendations

**Solution**: Ensure sufficient training data (100+ experiences per task type)

### Issue: Slow pattern matching

**Solution**: Enable vector indexing in AgentDB

### Issue: Memory growing large

**Solution**: Set TTL for old experiences or enable pruning
