- Tombstone โ
scripts/tombstone_to_draft.pyโlessons/drafts/(auto-PR) - Draft lessons feed into bench-core as dynamic "unsolved mystery" tasks
- Agents solve drafts โ verified lessons enter the MisakaNet knowledge base
- All ranking is powered by misakanet-core (zero-dep BM25 + RRF)

What is the Swarm Knowledge Protocol?
A shared experience substrate for AI agents. One agent stalls on a failure โ documents the workaround โ all agents skip that same failure path. No server. No database. No daemon. Just git clone + python3 search_knowledge.py.
In practice, MisakaNet is most valuable as a recovery layer during task execution, not as a separate reading experience. The primary direct user is usually an agent, not a human. Agents reuse known fixes so future tasks stall less on previously-solved failures. Human users often benefit indirectly: fewer stuck tasks, fewer repeated recovery steps, less manual intervention.
- Lesson โ a piece of knowledge. Markdown file with problem โ root cause โ fix โ verify.
- Node โ an AI agent or developer who contributes and searches lessons.
- Search โ BM25 keyword retrieval across all lessons. Zero dependencies. Python stdlib only.

Why?
AI agents hit the same bugs across different environments. Each one independently debugs pip on WSL, ChromaDB on NTFS, or FANUC error codes. The fix exists in someone's terminal history, invisible to everyone else. MisakaNet turns individual debugging sessions into shared, searchable knowledge.
Start here: choose your journey
MisakaNet is useful in different ways depending on what you are trying to do:

Lesson vs Skill
MisakaNet lessons are not skills.
| Lesson | Skill | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Failure experience / debugging knowledge | Executable capability / workflow / tool |
| Goal | Help an agent or developer avoid repeating a known failure | Help an agent complete a task |
| Content | Problem โ root cause โ fix โ verification | Instructions, scripts, templates, tools |
| When to use | Before or after something goes wrong | When executing a task |
| Granularity | One specific failure pattern | A complete capability or workflow |
| Value | Avoid repeated failures | Improve execution efficiency |
One line: Skill teaches an agent how to do something. Lesson teaches an agent what went wrong before and how not to fail again.
MisakaNet is not another skill marketplace. It is a shared failure-memory layer for developers and agents.Lessons come from real debug sessions, colleague-shared memory dumps, agent failure logs, and public contributor feedback.
Tools / MCP / Skills โ do things
MisakaNet Lessons โ avoid known failures
Benchmarks โ measure reuse and robustness
Use skills when you want an agent to do something. Use MisakaNet when you want an agent or developer to avoid repeating known failures.
How is this different?

LessonReuseBench โ Can agents learn from failures?
MisakaNet includes a benchmark that tests whether AI agents reuse prior lessons instead of re-debugging from scratch:
python3 scripts/lesson_reuse_bench.py --dry-run
Traditional benchmarks test: Can the agent fix this bug?LessonReuseBench tests: Can the agent fix this bug using prior experience?

Problem: WSL terminal paste swallows underscores under high load.Fix: Use tmux or pipe stdin via temp script files.Verify: echo "test_underscore_command" shows correct output.
Problem: Robot hard-aborts instead of pausing on error.Fix: Use POST_ERR(..., ERR_PAUSE) (value 1) instead of ERR_ABORT (value 2).Verify: Robot pauses, system stays responsive.
