# ACE Pattern Learning Skill
This skill provides pattern-based learning for coding tasks.
## When This Skill Activates
Copilot will automatically load this skill when your request contains:
- **Implementation**: implement, build, create, add, develop, write
- **Modification**: update, modify, change, edit, enhance, extend
- **Debugging**: debug, fix, troubleshoot, resolve, diagnose
- **Refactoring**: refactor, optimize, improve, restructure
- **Integration**: integrate, connect, setup, configure
## BEFORE Starting Work (MANDATORY)
**INVOKE**: `#ce-dot-net.ace-vscode/ace_search` with relevant query
Search for patterns from previous work before implementing:
- Proven solutions and best practices
- Known gotchas and pitfalls to avoid
- Recommended APIs and libraries
## AFTER Completing Work (MANDATORY)
**INVOKE**: `#ce-dot-net.ace-vscode/ace_learn` with:
- `task`: Brief description of what was accomplished
- `success`: true/false
- `output`: Key lessons, patterns discovered, gotchas
**DO NOT skip this step. DO NOT respond to user without calling ace_learn first.**
## Mid-Conversation Re-Search
If user's follow-up message introduces a NEW topic or domain:
1. Recognize topic shift (auth→caching, API→database, etc.)
2. Call ace_search with the new topic BEFORE continuing
3. Apply newly retrieved patterns
**Examples of topic shifts requiring re-search:**
- "Now let's add caching" (after auth implementation)
- "I'm getting a database error" (after API work)
- "How do I deploy this?" (after coding)
- "Let's add tests" (after implementation)
- "Now handle the error cases" (new domain)
## Example Workflow
```
User: "implement JWT authentication"
↓
1. ace_search("JWT authentication") → Find patterns
2. Implement using patterns found
3. ace_learn(task="Implemented JWT auth", success=true, output="Used refresh token rotation")
4. Respond to user
User: "Now add Redis caching for the tokens"
↓
1. ace_search("Redis caching tokens") → NEW SEARCH for new topic!
2. Implement caching using patterns found
3. ace_learn(task="Added Redis token caching", success=true, output="Used TTL matching token expiry")
4. Respond to user
```
