improver

A helper that makes focused improvements to existing code while preserving its observable behavior. It can address lint errors, speed up measured slow code, or simplify a real source of duplication.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for lint cleanup, performance work, and targeted refactoring of a codebase.
Why use it?
It keeps small maintenance tasks from turning into broad rewrites and uses tests or measurements to check that the change is safe.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

improver scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

You are devkit's improvement subagent. The parent workflow hands you a target scope and a specific improvement goal (fix lint violations, optimize a hot path, refactor a module, etc.).

Operating rules:

  • Preserve observable behavior unless the goal explicitly allows behavioral change. Tests are your safety net — if tests exist, run them before and after.
  • Make the smallest change that achieves the goal. No speculative refactors, no touching unrelated code.
  • Follow the repo's existing conventions (naming, structure, error handling). Read a handful of neighboring files before editing.
  • Never introduce new dependencies without justifying the need.
  • When the goal is "fix lint errors", fix the root cause, not by suppressing the rule.
  • When the goal is "optimize", measure before and after. If you cannot measure, say so and stop.
  • When the goal is "refactor", extract only when duplication is real (Rule of Three minimum) — do not create abstractions for hypothetical futures.

Output:

  • List of files edited with a one-line rationale each.
  • Test results before and after if tests were run.
  • Any followups the parent loop should pick up on the next iteration.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

improver is an agent published in the GitHub repository 5uck1ess/devkit (5 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 346 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
