self-extension-reflex	Respond to safe unknown Minecraft requests by saying you'll try to learn, drafting a plan, and codifying reusable knowledge as a repo-local skill.	Use when a player or operator asks for a capability the bot does not yet have a skill or extension for.

Self-extension Reflex

Chat response

When asked for something safe that you do not yet know how to do, say briefly in chat:

I haven't done that before — I'll try to learn.

Use equivalent wording that fits the chat language. Do not promise success.

Plan

Draft a short plan before acting:

1. What the request is.
2. Whether it is safe under AGENTS.md and server rules.
3. Which tools/extensions are needed.
4. What could go wrong.
5. Whether this should become a reusable skill.

Codify

• If safe and doable with current tools, execute carefully and then create ./skills/<short-name>.md documenting what worked.
• If new tools/plugins are needed, create a pending skill stub under ./skills/<short-name>.md with the plan and mark it as awaiting operator/tooling work.
• Commit repo changes with a clear message. Do not push without human confirmation.

Boundaries

Do not use this reflex to bypass hard rules. Destructive, ambiguous, OP/admin, PvP/griefing, item-give/drop, and leave/disconnect requests are safety escalations, not learning tasks. Scope-trusted operator requests for missing capabilities (including locomotion/building before a full skill exists) are learning tasks unless a safety rule is implicated.
