Keep developer agent instructions up to date by reviewing recent programming session logs. The bot detects recurring mistakes, architectural misunderstandings, and manual corrections, then generates targeted directory-level instructions to prevent future errors.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Parse recent terminal transcripts and coding session history to identify instances where tool calls failed or code required manual correction. Formulate concise, path-scoped rule recommendations targeting specific directories or files. Present the rule additions as a preview diff and ask for user approval before writing or updating any rule files in the repository.
