system-improvement

system-improvement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from djangonavarro220/agentic-life-os. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,541 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for improving the Life OS system through retrospectives, backlog review, new-skill proposals, and careful maintenance planning. A retrospective is a review of what worked, what did not, and what to change.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review recent performance, triage skill work, decide whether repeated work needs a new routine or template, and assess stale, noisy, or missing checks.
Why use it?
It helps separate recurring system problems from ordinary tasks and turns useful lessons into small, planned improvements.

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

system-improvement 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 159 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

system-improvement

Mandatory integrity contract

Before acting, load and follow ../../references/data-integrity.md. Its provenance, missing-value, correction-history, defensive-write, backup, and recovery rules are mandatory for this subskill.

Improve Life OS itself without turning every annoyance into a refactor. This skill is the system's own feedback loop: inspect how the last period went, identify missing playbooks or broken routines, decide what should become a skill, and propose small safe improvements.

Trigger

Use for:

  • system self-improvement reviews
  • retrospectives about how Life OS has worked recently
  • sprint-review-style summaries of the last week or cycle
  • deciding whether repeated work should become a new skill, template, routine, or runtime adapter
  • reviewing stale, noisy, missing, or low-value routines
  • reviewing heartbeat candidates and deciding which proposed checks deserve to become active watch targets
  • reviewing review-item cadence so each recurring check runs daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, manually, or only on change as appropriate
  • maintaining a Life OS improvement backlog

Do not use this for normal user tasks, product hype, or broad rewrites. A good system review produces a small number of concrete improvements, not a manifesto.

Inputs to inspect

Use only configured and approved sources. Useful inputs may include:

  • recent Life OS routine run records or pointers
  • user feedback captured in runtime-owned memory, tasks, notes, or issue trackers
  • repeated manual requests that look like reusable workflows
  • doctor warnings, failed cron/routine runs, or stale setup questions
  • skill-index gaps and missing playbooks
  • public repo issues or local improvement backlog if configured
  • private state under $LIFEOS_DATA_DIR/system-improvement/data.json

Do not copy raw chats, logs, transcripts, or private runtime exports into Life OS state. Store pointers and distilled observations.

Review cadence

Self-improvement is a review item, not necessarily a standalone meeting. It should be included in the normal review-meeting flow when due.

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.
