Learn how to implement a failure log and weekly synthesis cron to improve your heuristics and learn from failures

intermediate Published 16 May 2026
Action Steps
  1. Create a failure log file to track failures, such as ~/.iskander/state/cognitive/failures.jsonl
  2. Implement a weekly synthesis cron job to read the week's failures and propose changes to heuristics
  3. Configure the cron job to run every Sunday, analyzing the previous week's failures
  4. Use the cron job output to identify areas for improvement and update heuristics accordingly
  5. Test and refine the failure log and cron job to ensure accurate and actionable feedback
