promote

promote is a skill for Claude Code from kopp0510/claude-dd. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,156 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for moving a proven note from an agent's automatic memory into CLAUDE.md or a scoped rules file. These files contain instructions that guide future work in a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to promote a specific coding or project-working pattern, either for the whole project or only for matching file paths.
Why use it?
It turns a useful repeated learning into a lasting project instruction instead of leaving it only in background memory.

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

promote 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 8d 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.

/self-improving-agent:promote — Graduate Learnings to Rules

Moves a proven pattern from Claude's auto-memory into the project's rule system, where it becomes an enforced instruction rather than a background note.

Usage

/self-improving-agent:promote <pattern description>                    # Auto-detect best target
/self-improving-agent:promote <pattern> --target claude.md             # Promote to CLAUDE.md
/self-improving-agent:promote <pattern> --target rules/testing.md      # Promote to scoped rule
/self-improving-agent:promote <pattern> --target rules/api.md --paths "src/api/**/*.ts"  # Scoped with paths

Workflow

Step 1: Understand the pattern

Parse the user's description. If vague, ask one clarifying question:

  • "What specific behavior should Claude follow?"
  • "Does this apply to all files or specific paths?"

Step 2: Find the pattern in auto-memory

# Search MEMORY.md for related entries
MEMORY_DIR="$HOME/.claude/projects/$(pwd | sed 's|/|%2F|g; s|%2F|/|; s|^/||')/memory"
grep -ni "<keywords>" "$MEMORY_DIR/MEMORY.md"

Show the matching entries and confirm they're what the user means.

Step 3: Determine the right target

Pattern scope Target Example
Applies to entire project ./CLAUDE.md "Use pnpm, not npm"
Applies to specific file types .claude/rules/<topic>.md "API handlers need validation"
Applies to all your projects ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md "Prefer explicit error handling"

If the user didn't specify a target, recommend one based on scope.

Step 4: Distill into a concise rule

Transform the learning from auto-memory's note format into CLAUDE.md's instruction format:

Before (MEMORY.md — descriptive):

The project uses pnpm workspaces. When I tried npm install it failed. The lock file is pnpm-lock.yaml. Must use pnpm install for dependencies.

After (CLAUDE.md — prescriptive):

## Build & Dependencies
- Package manager: pnpm (not npm). Use `pnpm install`.

promote is a skill published in the GitHub repository kopp0510/claude-dd (6 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,156 once invoked, about $0.0002 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 2026-08-31.
