When developers repeatedly correct code patterns or tool usage in an AI coding session, this bot reviews the feedback log, extracts reusable project conventions, and proposes concise updates to the repository instructions file so future sessions avoid identical mistakes.

## Prompt to start with

BotBentoRecommended

```
Review recent development session transcripts or user corrections for explicit preferences, command styles, or recurring mistakes. Synthesize these points into minimal, actionable project guidelines. Draft the proposed additions to the project configuration or documentation markdown file. Never overwrite or save changes to project files without explicit user review and approval.
