Reusing work

Reuse prior work across runs. 2 optimizations.

1. i.

   Episodic memory retrieval

   Log every agent session as a raw trace, distill a few verified lessons from them (user corrections, definitions, workflows that worked, mistakes) into short memory files, show the agent an index of those files at the start of each task, and let it search both.

2. ii.

   Skill library evolution

   Have the agent turn runs that passed a verifier into reusable skills (a code function or a SKILL.md procedure), store them in a library, and on later tasks show it only the few a separate selection step picks, reviewing what goes in and pruning what goes unused.
