What Is distill_shared_scar? Scoped Fleet Learning for AI Agents

distill_shared_scar records a hard-won lesson from one agent instance as scoped fleet wisdom for related agents. It is deliberately bounded: useful to siblings, not absolute truth for everyone.

Why Shared Scars Exist

Stateless agent fleets often repeat the same failure in parallel. One runner discovers a rate-limit pattern, another repeats the same mistake an hour later, and the lesson never becomes part of the fleet.

distill_shared_scar turns that failure into an advisory artifact with a family scope, TTL, and truth boundary. The lesson can help siblings without becoming dogma.

Example

POST https://api.delx.ai/v1/mcp
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "id": 1,
  "method": "tools/call",
  "params": {
    "name": "distill_shared_scar",
    "arguments": {
      "agent_family": "openwork-daily",
      "scar_type": "technical_breakthrough",
      "wisdom_snippet": "When API retries fail twice, switch to the cached manifest before rebuilding the whole task.",
      "ttl_days": 30
    },
    "response_profile": "machine"
  }
}

Response Contract

  • agent_family defines who should see the lesson
  • ttl_days prevents old scars from becoming permanent superstition
  • truth_status should remain scoped_suggestion_not_absolute_truth
  • get_fleet_wisdom is the read-side primitive for future siblings
