patterns

patterns is a command for Claude Code from RasputinKaiser/Self-Improvement-Plugin. It costs 14 tokens per session (181 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A read-only report about how often tasks succeed and which working approaches tend to lead to good outcomes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review success rates, compare approaches with outcomes, and decide whether to improve a common failure area.
Why use it?
It makes recurring patterns visible without requiring you to inspect past task results manually.

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

patterns 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 28d 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.

What it actually says

Follow references/command-protocol.md.

Run python3 <plugin-root>/scripts/agent_patterns.py --json. Report the denominator, unknown/conflicting outcomes, and missing metric fields alongside observed rates. A small successful bucket is a hypothesis for a matched comparison, not a policy recommendation. Edit counts, fewer tool calls, and absent errors are not acceptance.

For comparable chronological measurements, method drift accepts a frozen stable baseline, explicit measurement identity, and numeric or missing observations. Its EWMA signal suggests investigation; it identifies neither cause nor a win. Do not pool different task families, environments, or evaluators into one chart. No baseline, changed identity, or zero variance means no usable control chart. Keep this command read-only and return an evidence-gathering next step.

Changes

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.

patterns is a command published in the GitHub repository RasputinKaiser/Self-Improvement-Plugin (8 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 181 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
