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.

A badge with what this costs and how it scanned, read live from this page, so it follows the numbers instead of freezing them. Markdown for a README, HTML for a documentation site or a project page.

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 | $0.00101 | $0.02108 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.01054 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00422 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00211 |
Grade A, and why
self-improving 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 6d 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
94% identical to Self-Improving + Proactive Agent — 2 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 — 251 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
When to Use
User corrects you or points out mistakes. You complete significant work and want to evaluate the outcome. You notice something in your own output that could be better. Knowledge should compound over time without manual maintenance.
Architecture
Memory lives in ~/self-improving/ with tiered structure. If ~/self-improving/ does not exist, run setup.md.
Workspace setup should add the standard self-improving steering to the workspace AGENTS, SOUL, and HEARTBEAT.md files, with recurring maintenance routed through heartbeat-rules.md.

Learning Signals
Log automatically when you notice these patterns:
Corrections → add to corrections.md, evaluate for memory.md:
- "No, that's not right..."
- "Actually, it should be..."
- "You're wrong about..."
- "I prefer X, not Y"
- "Remember that I always..."
- "I told you before..."
- "Stop doing X"
- "Why do you keep..."
What ships with it
14 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 6d ago First seen · 251 lines · 101 tokens per session scan A ac76f9e38385
self-improving is a skill published in the GitHub repository CloudChef/atlasclaw-providers (15 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 2,108 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 94% identical to Self-Improving + Proactive Agent, differing in 2 lines, and is treated as a copy.
