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"
