Gladiator Plugin

Continuous learning. Observes tool failures and prompts reflection at session end to evolve rules, hooks, and skills.

Hooks

Hook When Action
PostToolUse(Bash|Edit|Write) After tool failure Observes the error pattern (silent on success)
Stop Session ending Prompts reflection if unprocessed observations exist

Commands

Command Description
/review-gladiator [topic] Batch learn from accumulated observations and session history

Workflows

Observe (automatic via hooks)

Tool failures trigger observation automatically:

gladiator_observe(
  summary: "<what failed and how it was fixed>",
  context: {error, tool, before, after},
  tags: ["error", "<tool_name>"]
)

Reflect (standalone)

  1. gladiator_reflect() — cluster observations into recommendations
  2. For each recommendation: read the existing artifact (if overlap detected)
  3. Propose UPDATE to existing artifact, not a new duplicate
  4. Present to user with reasoning
  5. Apply changes one at a time after approval

Reflect (with siblings)

  1. If historian active: enrich reflection with broader context
    • search_conversations("project or topic") — related past work
    • get_error_solutions("specific error") — for error clusters
    • find_tool_patterns("tool name") — for tool workflow clusters
  2. gladiator_reflect() — cluster observations
  3. If oracle active: for each recommendation involving new artifacts
    • search("cluster tag") — check if best-in-class solution already exists
    • Install existing solution instead of reinventing
  4. Present enriched recommendations: pattern + history + available tools
  5. Apply changes one at a time after approval

Batch Review (/review-gladiator)

  1. If historian active: list_recent_sessions() to get session refs
  2. gladiator_observe(source: "conversation", session_ref: <ref>) for relevant sessions
  3. gladiator_reflect() to cluster all observations
  4. If oracle active: search for existing solutions before creating new
  5. Present recommendations to user

Sibling Synergy

Sibling Value How
Historian Past solutions enrich reflection get_error_solutions(), search_conversations(), find_tool_patterns()
Oracle Existing tools found before creating new Search oracle for best-in-class solutions during reflection
Praetorian n/a Gladiator has its own persistence
Vigil n/a Different concerns (files vs patterns)

Observation Templates

Situation Call

Decision made gladiator_observe(summary, tags=["architecture", "decision"])
