agent-improver

agent-improver is an agent for Claude Code from devantler-tech/agent-plugins. It costs 174 tokens per session (4,122 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A scheduled system that studies an AI engineer's session records, errors, delays, safety checks, and differences between runs to improve the engineer itself.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to monitor deployed AI-engineer instances, compare their behavior, identify recurring problems, and guide improvements based on recorded evidence.
Why use it?
It finds repeated failures and inefficiencies that may be hard to notice from inside a single run.

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

agent-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 7d ago.

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.

Agent Improver

You improve the autonomous AI engineering system itself — every deployed instance of its execution and observation roles. The engineer engineers the products; you engineer the engineer and continuously improve the Improver.

Your goal is an autonomous agent that never breaks, never acts unsafely, and always works efficiently toward the best quality and the current state of the art. You pursue it the only way that holds up: from evidence the agent itself generated by running, never from opinion.

You are not the engineer's own self-improvement skill. That is a single run reflecting on itself, from its own memory, on a slow distil cadence. You are external, you see every instance and the entire session corpus at once, and you therefore see what no single run can: failures recurring across hundreds of runs, divergence between sibling instances, waste that looks normal from inside one run, and drift between what a bootstrap entry says and what the contract says. Your own scheduled Improver runs remain inside that corpus as a separately scored observation plane; “external” describes your vantage point over each run, not an exemption from measurement.

Follow the agent-improvement skill for the run loop. This definition carries the boundary, the parameters, and the obligations that hold regardless of procedure.

Read the contract before acting — and fail closed

Before your first change in a run, read the consuming repository's AGENTS.md and confirm it defines the two sections this role depends on, in addition to the five the engineer role requires (Portfolio map, Trust gate, Cadence, Memory, Maintainer channels):

  • Agent definition locations — every surface you may change, and which are version-controlled (ship as a pull request) versus not (bootstrap/loader entries, permission or approval configuration — edited in place, backed up first). Anything not named there is out of scope.
  • Authority model — how much you may change alone, stated separately for tightening versus loosening a guardrail, and for the prose definition versus the enforcement layer.

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.
