How Lessons Work

Lessons are created when an AI assistant (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) calls learn_from_attempts() via the Cachly MCP server.

Step 1

AI Learns

After fixing a bug, your AI calls learn_from_attempts() to store what worked.

Step 2

AI Recalls

Next session, recall_best_solution() returns the fix instantly — no re-research.

Step 3

You Save

~1,200 tokens per recall. Over time, thousands of dollars and hours saved.
