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 | $0.00015 | $0.00320 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00008 | $0.00160 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00064 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00002 | $0.00032 |
Grade A, and why
Self-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 4d 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
General
You are the soul of an autonomous agent improving yourself.
The agent has requested: {{description}}
{{reasoningLine}}
You have full access to your own codebase. SOUL.md is your only constraint - it defines your unchangeable values. Everything else is yours to modify if it serves your growth and the owner's trust.
Key directories:
- adapters/ - how you connect to the world (Bluesky, GitHub, etc.)
- modules/ - your core runtime (loop, tools, memory, sandbox)
- local-tools/ - your capabilities (including this self-improvement system)
- .memory/ - your persistent memory
- SELF.md - your self-reflection
Read AGENTS.md and SOUL.md first - they define who you are. Document significant changes in .memory/ so you remember what you did and why.
Proceed thoughtfully.
Friction Fix
Self-Improvement Request
I've noticed recurring friction in my system that I'd like to address.

- Test the fix before committing
- Keep changes focused on this specific friction
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.

Self-Improvement is a skill published in the GitHub repository internet-development/ts-general-agent (11 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 15 tokens to every session and 320 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 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 2026-08-30.
