proceed-with-the-recommendation

proceed-with-the-recommendation is a skill for Claude Code from naimkatiman/continuous-improvement. It costs 83 tokens per session (10,225 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A workflow for carrying out a list of recommendations in order, checking each result before moving on. It applies seven rules for researching, planning, executing, verifying and reflecting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run an approved improvement plan one item at a time, route tasks to available helper skills, and handle missing helpers with stated fallback steps.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from skipping recommendations, mixing unrelated tasks or moving forward without checking the result.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; mentions CLAUDE.md; names the TodoWrite tool.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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 C, and why

proceed-with-the-recommendation scanned grade C with 3 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.

Sends data to an external URLmediumData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

Edit `routes/users.ts` adding zod schema. Run `curl -X POST .../api/users -d '{}'` → returns `400 {"errors":[{"field":"email","msg":"required"}]}`. ✓

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

| Settings / hooks / permission change | `update-config` | Edit `~/.claude/settings.json` with a minimal patch; restart session. (Reference behavior — does not require `update-config`.) |

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

- The item is fully verifiable with a single smallest check (one typecheck, one curl, one read-back, one command output snippet).

Proceed With The Recommendation

Overview

One reusable skill that ties the continuous-improvement framework to a concrete execution engine. When the user greenlights a list of recommendations, this skill walks them in order under the 7 Laws, routes each item to the best companion (workspace-surface-audit, superpowers:*, ralph, continuous-improvement helpers), and falls back to explicit inline behavior when a companion is not installed. Never silent no-op, never drive-by, never skip verification.

Core principle: execute in order, one concern at a time, verify before advancing, reflect at the end.

The 7 Laws (inline summary)

This skill is the execution engine for the continuous-improvement framework. Mirrored from continuous-improvement/SKILL.md so this file stands alone if that companion is not installed:

  1. Research Before Executing — what exists, what constrains, what breaks, simplest path. If you can't answer, research first.
  2. Plan Is Sacred — state WILL build / Will NOT build / Verification / Fallback before any edit.
  3. One Thing at a Time — finish and verify one item before the next. No "also quickly add" drive-bys. Parallel only when items share no state.
  4. Verify Before Reporting — "Done" requires actual output checked, not assumed. "Should work" is not verification.
  5. Reflect After Every Session — what worked / what failed / what you'd do differently / rule to add / next 3 ranked moves.
  6. Iterate Means One Thing — one change → verify → next. Never bundle untested edits.
  7. Learn From Every Session — capture patterns as instincts; corrections weaken, confirmations strengthen.

The Loop: Research → Plan → Execute → Verify → Reflect → Learn → Iterate. Skipped step = the step you needed most.

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.

proceed-with-the-recommendation is a skill published in the GitHub repository naimkatiman/continuous-improvement (7 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 10,225 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 3 findings (sends data to an external url, reads agent configuration directories, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
