socratic-learning 0.2.0

Continuous learning system that tracks agent interactions, detects patterns, and provides improvement recommendations.

Socratic Learning

Why Socratic Learning?

Most AI platforms treat learning as an afterthought. Socratic Learning makes continuous improvement built-in:

• Interaction Tracking - Capture and store all agent interactions with full context for analysis
• Pattern Detection - Automatically identify recurring patterns in agent behaviors and model outputs
• Performance Monitoring - Track success rates, response times, and costs across all interactions
• Data-Driven Recommendations - Get actionable improvement suggestions based on detected patterns
• Fine-Tuning Ready - Export interaction data in industry-standard formats for model fine-tuning

A continuous learning system for AI agents that tracks interactions, detects patterns, and provides data-driven improvement recommendations.

Features

• Interaction Tracking - Capture and store all agent interactions with context
• Pattern Detection - Identify recurring patterns in agent behaviors and LLM outputs
• Performance Metrics - Monitor agent effectiveness with success rates, response times, costs
• User Feedback Integration - Collect and analyze user feedback on agent responses
• Learning Recommendations - Generate actionable improvement suggestions
• Fine-Tuning Export - Export interaction data for model fine-tuning
• Analytics & Reporting - JSON-based insights and metrics
• Framework Integration - Works with Openclaw and LangChain

Installation

# Core package
pip install socratic-learning

# With Socratic Agents integration
pip install socratic-learning[agents]

# With all optional dependencies
pip install socratic-learning[all]

# For development
pip install socratic-learning[dev]

Quick Start

from socratic_learning import LearningManager
from socratic_agents import SocraticCounselor

# Initialize learning manager
learning = LearningManager(storage="sqlite", db_path="learning.db")

# Create a tracking session
session_id = learning.create_session(
    user_id="user123",
    context={"environment": "production"}
)

# Track agent interactions
counselor = SocraticCounselor()
result = counselor.guide("recursion", level="beginner")

learning.track_interaction(
    session_id=session_id,
    agent_name="SocraticCounselor",
    input_data={"topic": "recursion", "level": "beginner"},
    output_data=result,
    model_name="claude-opus-4",
    provider="anthropic",
    input_tokens=150,
    output_tokens=500,
    duration_ms=1200.0,
)

# Add user feedback
learning.add_feedback(
    interaction_id=interaction.interaction_id,
    rating=5,
    feedback="Very helpful explanation!"
)

# Get metrics
metrics = learning.get_metrics(agent_name="SocraticCounselor")
print(f"Success rate: {metrics.success_rate}%")
print(f"Avg rating: {metrics.avg_rating}/5")

# Detect patterns
patterns = learning.detect_patterns(agent_name="SocraticCounselor")
for pattern in patterns:
    print(f"Pattern: {pattern.name} (confidence: {pattern.confidence})")

# Get recommendations
recommendations = learning.get_recommendations(agent_name="SocraticCounselor")
for rec in recommendations:
    print(f"Recommendation: {rec.title}")

# Export for fine-tuning
learning.export_for_finetuning(
    output_path="finetuning_data.jsonl",
    agent_name="SocraticCounselor",
    min_rating=4,
    format="openai"
)

Core Concepts

Interaction

Represents a single agent interaction with input, output, performance metrics, and optional user feedback.

Pattern

A detected recurring pattern in agent behaviors (e.g., error patterns, topic-specific behaviors).

Metric

Aggregated performance metrics (success rate, average response time, user satisfaction, costs).

Recommendation

An actionable improvement suggestion based on detected patterns and metrics.

Architecture

• Core Models - Dataclass-based models with serialization
• Storage Layer - Abstract interface with SQLite backend
• Tracking - Interaction logger with session management
• Analytics - Pattern detection and metrics collection
• Integrations - Openclaw skills and LangChain tools

Documentation

• Maturity Calculation System - Complete guide to the confidence-weighted maturity scoring system, including core algorithms, category definitions, and API reference
• See examples/ for complete working examples
