kaizen

kaizen is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from liyecom/liye-ai. It costs 14 tokens per session (1,152 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A continuous-improvement method based on small, repeated changes. It includes techniques such as PDCA, which means plan, do, check, act, and 5 Whys for finding root causes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze workflows, investigate delays or failures, identify waste, run small experiments, and create an ongoing improvement cycle.
Why use it?
It helps teams understand why a process is failing, remove unnecessary work, and improve it step by step.

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

kaizen 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 9d 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

Kaizen

来源: ComposioHQ/awesome-claude-skills 适配: LiYe OS 三层架构

应用持续改进方法论,基于日本改善哲学和精益方法论,提供多种分析方法。

When to Use This Skill

当需要持续改进流程或系统时:

  • 分析现有流程找出改进点
  • 应用 PDCA 循环迭代改进
  • 使用 5 Why 追溯根本原因
  • 识别和消除浪费 (Muda)
  • 制定渐进式改进计划

Core Capabilities

1. PDCA 循环

Plan (计划)
  ↓ 识别问题,制定假设
Do (执行)
  ↓ 小规模试验
Check (检查)
  ↓ 分析结果
Act (行动)
  → 标准化或调整

2. 5 Why 分析

逐层追问"为什么",找到根本原因:

问题: 报表生成时间过长
Why 1: 数据查询慢 → 为什么?
Why 2: 表没有索引 → 为什么?
Why 3: 没有 DBA 评审 → 为什么?
Why 4: 缺少代码审查流程 → 为什么?
Why 5: 团队没有建立标准 ← 根本原因

3. 价值流图 (Value Stream Mapping)

  • 绘制当前状态流程
  • 识别增值 vs 非增值活动
  • 设计未来状态
  • 制定转变计划

4. 浪费识别 (7 Muda)

浪费类型 含义 示例
过度生产 做得比需要多 过多的报表
等待 空闲时间 等待审批
运输 不必要的移动 多次文件传输
过度加工 过度精细 过度优化代码
库存 堆积的工作 待处理任务积压
动作 不必要的操作 重复手动操作
缺陷 返工 Bug 修复

5. 渐进式改进计划

  • 小步快跑
  • 每次只改一件事
  • 快速验证
  • 持续迭代

Usage Examples

示例 1: 优化工作流程

用户: 我的日报流程太繁琐了,帮我优化
Claude: [使用 kaizen 绘制价值流图、识别浪费、提出改进方案]

示例 2: 复盘失败项目

用户: 这个项目延期了,帮我分析原因
Claude: [使用 kaizen 5 Why 分析、找到根本原因、制定预防措施]

示例 3: 建立改进循环

用户: 帮我建立一个持续改进的机制
Claude: [使用 kaizen 设计 PDCA 循环、定义检查点、建立反馈机制]

与 Evolution Protocol 的关系

Kaizen 理念与 LiYe OS 的 Evolution Protocol 高度一致:

  • 都强调持续改进
  • 都基于数据驱动决策
  • 都要求可追溯的记录

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.

kaizen is a skill published in the GitHub repository liyecom/liye-ai (33 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 14 tokens to every session and 1,152 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.
