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 v1.5.11+
AgentDB v1.0.4+ (for persistence)
Node.js 18+

Quick Start

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

// 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

// 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

// 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

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

Adaptive Agents

// 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

// 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

// 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

Record consistently: Log all task outcomes, not just successes
Provide context: Rich context improves pattern matching
Set thresholds: Filter low-confidence learnings
Review periodically: Audit learned patterns for quality
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
