Basal Ganglia Memory 🎯
Habit formation for AI agents. Part of the AI Brain series.
Status: 🚧 Under Development
This skill is being developed. Star/watch for updates!
Concept
The basal ganglia is responsible for habit formation and procedural learning. This skill will give AI agents:
- Habit tracking — actions repeated become automatic preferences
- Procedural memory — "muscle memory" for common workflows
- Reward-based learning — reinforce patterns that work
- Preference development — "I always do X this way because it works"
