💡 How Lessons Work

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

📝

AI Learns

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

🔁

AI Recalls

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

💰

You Save

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