Overview

Self-improvement is only as useful as the signals it receives. If the user accepts weak work without correction, the learned procedure may preserve weak work. If preferences change, old procedures must be updated or archived. A large skill library is manageable because Hermes uses an index to find relevant skills, but the contents still need coherent names and purposes.

Self-improvement also does not remove human responsibility. A learned process can make an error more repeatable if it is automated before it is validated.
