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.

SkillSpector: 7 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

- medium Rogue Agent · line 129 Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.
- medium Excessive Agency · line 240 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
- medium Prompt Injection · line 253 Subtle instructions detected that may alter agent decision-making or introduce hidden biases.Fix: Review content for implicit steering or bias. Ensure instructions are explicit and align with the skill's stated purpose.
- low Excessive Agency · line 263 Skill's behavior or capabilities extend beyond its stated purpose. Scope creep allows an agent to perform actions unrelated to its documented functionality, increasing the attack surface.Fix: Limit the skill's scope to its documented purpose. Remove instructions that enable the agent to perform actions outside its stated functionality.
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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00025 | $0.06457 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00010 | $0.02583 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00005 | $0.01291 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00646 |
Grade A, and why
improve scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.
Makes network callslowCapability
Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
- **Manual workarounds bypassing existing abstractions** — raw shell commands, curl calls, or inline scripts that hit APIs or services the project already has clients/CLI for, but lacked the specific operation needed. Sc How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 482 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Improve Skills, Capture Context & Knowledge
Analyze the current conversation to improve skills, fix codebase gaps, capture durable knowledge, and generate handoff prompts for skills managed outside this repository.
When to Use
Run /improve at the end of any session where:
- Skills were invoked and required manual fixes or workarounds
- You discovered better patterns or approaches mid-conversation
- A skill produced output that needed multiple iterations to get right
- Technical assumptions in a skill turned out to be wrong
- You learned something that would make a skill work better next time
- You hit a codebase gap (missing docs, tests, error handling, or config)
- You learned new organizational context (people, roles, vendor contacts, processes)

Instructions
When /improve is invoked:
Step 0a: Load Argus KB Context (if available)
If the dynamic context above shows argus is on PATH and the KB index is non-empty, the Argus KB is the primary durable store. Load it before doing anything else.
See references/argus-kb.md for the full load procedure (which docs to read, MCP tool name fallbacks, search heuristics). Summary: always-load memory/user/ + memory/feedback/ (or rely on the SessionStart hook), then kb_search on session-relevant keywords and read top matches.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

improve is a skill published in the GitHub repository drn/dots (23 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 6,457 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
