Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00083 | $0.03450 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00042 | $0.01725 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00690 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00345 |
Grade A, and why
self-improving-agent scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 6d 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.

Self-Improvement Skill (Minis Edition)
This skill is used in the Minis environment to record errors, corrections, and reusable best practices, creating a traceable learning loop.
Minis Directory Conventions
- Working directory:
/var/minis/workspace/ - Default learning log directory for this skill:
/var/minis/skills/self-improving-agent/data/ - Public learning log directory within this skill (after promotion):
/var/minis/skills/self-improving-agent/data/public/ - Project-level learning log directory (optional):
<project>/.learnings/ - Learning log files:
LEARNINGS.md(corrections, knowledge gaps, best practices)ERRORS.md(command failures, exception output)FEATURE_REQUESTS.md(new capabilities requested by users)
By default, log entries go first to the skill's own
datadirectory. When you explicitly specify a project, write to the project-level log. When an issue has been abstracted into a cross-project rule, promote it to the skill's public area or the Minis memory system.
Current Final Rules
- Default logging location:
/var/minis/skills/self-improving-agent/data/ - Public area within the skill:
/var/minis/skills/self-improving-agent/data/public/ - Project-level logging: Use
<project>/.learnings/only when--project <path>is passed explicitly - Recommended public parameter:
--public - Compatibility alias:
--workspaceis still available, but only for compatibility and is no longer recommended - Promotion behavior:
promote <entryID>copies the entry to the public area within the skill, automatically marks the source entry aspromoted, and writes back**Promoted to**and### Resolution Record - Duplicate protection: If the entry already exists in the skill's public area, running
promoteagain will not append a duplicate
Quick Reference
| Scenario | Action |
|---|---|
| Command or operation fails | Log to the skill directory by default: data/ERRORS.md |
| The user corrects you | Log to the skill directory by default: data/LEARNINGS.md, category correction |
| The user needs a missing capability | Log to the skill directory by default: data/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md |
| Project context is explicitly specified | Log to <project>/.learnings/ |
| External API or tool fails | Log to ERRORS.md in the current scope, including integration details |
| Knowledge is outdated | Log to LEARNINGS.md in the current scope, category knowledge_gap |
| A better solution is found | First log it to the current scope, then promote it after confirming it is generally applicable |
| Similar issues recur across multiple projects | Promote to the public area within the skill: data/public/ |
| Similar to an existing entry | Link with **See Also** and consider raising the priority |
| Widely applicable experience | Promote to the public area within the skill or to Minis memory. See "Promoting to Minis Memory" below |
What ships with it
7 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.

self-improving-agent is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenMinis/MinisSkills (397 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 83 tokens to every session and 3,450 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
