self-improvement

self-improvement is a skill for Claude Code from LeoYeAI/openclaw-master-skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (4,838 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of self-improvement, MIT.

A process for recording errors, corrections, missing features, and useful discoveries so future coding work can improve.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an operation fails, a user corrects the agent, an external tool breaks, or a reusable improvement is found. It records the result in project learning files.
Why use it?
It prevents recurring mistakes and preserves lessons from failed commands, user feedback, outdated knowledge, and better approaches.

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

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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 5 executable files (hooks/openclaw/handler.js, hooks/openclaw/handler.ts, scripts/activator.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 648 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Self-Improvement Skill

Log learnings and errors to markdown files for continuous improvement. Coding agents can later process these into fixes, and important learnings get promoted to project memory.

Quick Reference

Command/operation fails Log to .learnings/ERRORS.md
User corrects you Log to .learnings/LEARNINGS.md with category correction
User wants missing feature Log to .learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md

Broadly applicable learning Promote to CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and/or .github/copilot-instructions.md
Workflow improvements Promote to AGENTS.md (OpenClaw workspace)

OpenClaw is the primary platform for this skill. It uses workspace-based prompt injection with automatic skill loading.

Installation

Via ClawdHub (recommended):

clawdhub install self-improving-agent

Manual:

git clone https://github.com/peterskoett/self-improving-agent.git ~/.openclaw/skills/self-improving-agent

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.
