Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00082 | $0.01489 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00041 | $0.00745 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00298 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00149 |
Grade A, and why
claude-md-improver 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 12d 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.
This is a copy
100% identical to claude-md-improver — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 184 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
CLAUDE.md Improver
Audit, evaluate, and improve CLAUDE.md files across a codebase to ensure Claude Code has optimal project context.
This skill can write to CLAUDE.md files. After presenting a quality report and getting user approval, it updates CLAUDE.md files with targeted improvements.
Workflow
Phase 1: Discovery
Find all CLAUDE.md files in the repository:
find . -name "CLAUDE.md" -o -name ".claude.md" -o -name ".claude.local.md" 2>/dev/null | head -50
File Types & Locations:
| Type | Location | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Project root | ./CLAUDE.md |
Primary project context (checked into git, shared with team) |
| Local overrides | ./.claude.local.md |
Personal/local settings (gitignored, not shared) |
| Global defaults | ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md |
User-wide defaults across all projects |
| Package-specific | ./packages/*/CLAUDE.md |
Module-level context in monorepos |
| Subdirectory | Any nested location | Feature/domain-specific context |
Note: Claude auto-discovers CLAUDE.md files in parent directories, making monorepo setups work automatically.
Phase 2: Quality Assessment
For each CLAUDE.md file, evaluate against quality criteria. See references/quality-criteria.md for detailed rubrics.
Quick Assessment Checklist:
| Criterion | Weight | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Commands/workflows documented | High | Are build/test/deploy commands present? |
| Architecture clarity | High | Can Claude understand the codebase structure? |
| Non-obvious patterns | Medium | Are gotchas and quirks documented? |
| Conciseness | Medium | No verbose explanations or obvious info? |
| Currency | High | Does it reflect current codebase state? |
| Actionability | High | Are instructions executable, not vague? |
Quality Scores:
- A (90-100): Comprehensive, current, actionable
- B (70-89): Good coverage, minor gaps
- C (50-69): Basic info, missing key sections
- D (30-49): Sparse or outdated
- F (0-29): Missing or severely outdated
What ships with it
3 files 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.
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.

claude-md-improver is a skill published in the GitHub repository nota-america/forgecat-agent-profiles (66 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 82 tokens to every session and 1,489 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to claude-md-improver, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
Other skills, from other repositories
aoa-agents-skills
Form, transfer, continue, or receive an independent AoA responsibility with a role-bearing actor. Use when an obligation needs its own holder, mandate, or continuity across incarnations. Ordinary tasks and native Codex helpers do not need this skill.
aoa-session-progression-lift
Turn closed, reviewed session evidence into a bounded multi-axis progression candidate with baseline and attribution limits for aoa-agents review. Do not use on live impressions, without a baseline, to assign one universal score, mutate a role, grant authority, or set routing policy.
aoa-summon
Decide or execute a complete summon-request-v4 for an independent external AoA actor and return a validated summon-result-v4. Use as the aoa-agents-skills execution leaf or to inspect an explicit legacy summon packet. Ordinary native Codex helpers do not use this leaf.
