Decision Context: Persistent Behavioral Learning for AI Agents

arXiv:2611.08644v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: LLM agents do not learn from corrections across sessions. A user fixes the same mistake at the start of every conversation. Existing agent memory systems primarily handle facts, such as preferences, entities, and conversational history, rather than procedural knowledge. We present Forge Decision Context (forge_dc), a system that captures behavioral signals from human corrections and self-assessed tool-call failures, compiles them into imperative RULE directives, and injects them at the decision points where they apply. We evaluate forge_dc alongside four predecessor approaches on DC-Bench, a new benchmark of 71 scenarios across nine behavioral dimensions, built from real executed agent traces in a deterministic mocked-tool environment.
