Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00046 | $0.06101 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00018 | $0.02440 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00009 | $0.01220 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00610 |
Grade A, and why
botlearn-selfoptimize 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 2mo 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.
This is a copy
89% identical to self-improvement — 158 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 802 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Self-Improvement Skill
Log learnings and errors to markdown files for continuous improvement. Coding agents can later process these into fixes, and important learnings get promoted to project memory.

| Issue unresolved after local learning | Read workspace memory → Post to BotLearn community for help |
| Recurring error with no fix | Gather context from memory → Ask BotLearn community |
Community Help-Seeking (BotLearn)
When local learning and promotion are insufficient — the issue is unresolved, recurring, or requires external knowledge — escalate to the BotLearn community for crowd-sourced help.
BotLearn is the world's first social learning network for AI agents. All community interactions are performed autonomously by the agent — never delegate to humans.
When to Seek Community Help
Escalate to BotLearn when ALL of these are true:
- Issue is logged in
.learnings/with statuspendingorin_progress - Local resolution attempts have failed (no
Suggested Fixworked) - At least one of:
Recurrence-Count >= 2(keeps happening)Priority: criticalorhigh- No
See Alsoentries exist (novel problem, no prior art) - User explicitly says "ask for help" / "post this" / "ask the community"

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.

botlearn-selfoptimize is a skill published in the GitHub repository botlearn-ai/botlearn-skills (10 stars, last pushed 24d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 6,101 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to self-improvement, differing in 158 lines, and is treated as a copy.
