skillscope-optimizer

A workflow for improving an agent skill using analysis files that record its rules, workflow graph, execution traces, and findings.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect SkillScope artifacts, identify a genuine optimization target, produce a revised SKILL.md, and record the proposed edits and reasons.
Why use it?
It bases changes to the skill on observed problems and evidence instead of guesswork, while preserving the current version when no real improvement is needed.

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

skillscope-optimizer 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 2d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 158 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

SkillScope Optimizer

Purpose

Optimize one selected SKILL.md from SkillScope's program-analysis artifacts. Use the artifact chain below as the source of truth:

skill source -> constraints + skill graph
trace events -> trace facts
graph x facts -> findings
findings -> minimal skill patch

Required Inputs

Read every path named in the launch prompt. The optimizer must have:

  • Original selected skill markdown.
  • constraints.json.
  • skill-graph.json.
  • trace-facts.json.
  • findings.json.
  • Task/context and result/verifier artifacts when provided.
  • Native verifier artifacts when provided.

If any IR artifact is missing, stop and report which artifact is missing. Missing IR routes the workflow back to skillscope-analyzer.

Optimization Direction

Optimize only when there is a real optimization target. When the native verifier already passed, non-compliance is low, and remaining failures are only process/reporting observability gaps, use the current skill as the rerun candidate, copy it to optimized-skill.md, record the pass-through reason in the report, and set optimization-packet.json edits to an empty array.

Use this priority order:

  1. Native verifier failed assertions that map to final-output or artifact contracts.
  2. SkillScope violated findings on final_output or artifact targets.
  3. Repeated missed findings on reachable final-output or artifact constraints.
  4. High non-compliance or repeated failures across traces.
  5. Process/tool/reporting failures only when they explain a native or artifact failure, repeat across traces, or the user explicitly wants observability hardening.

A single successful trace with a low-severity process-only missed finding routes to analyzer confidence, branch reachability, or UI review unless the user explicitly requests observability hardening.

Treat satisfied constraints as preservation anchors. A covered constraint, a native-verifier-backed output invariant, or a nearby branch that worked should stay textually stable except when the replacement is a clearer equivalent required by a failed neighboring constraint. Every edit that touches a covered span should state the preserved invariant in optimization-packet.json.

Files

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.

Changes

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.

skillscope-optimizer is a skill published in the GitHub repository mathieu0905/skilllens (2 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 2,206 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
