process-improvement

A guide to mapping and improving how work is done, from a high-level overview to detailed instructions. It covers flow diagrams, bottleneck finding, root-cause analysis, and the DMAIC improvement cycle.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to document a process, separate useful work from waiting or waste, investigate problems with the 5 Whys, and plan measurable improvements.
Why use it?
It helps reveal wasted steps, delays, and the underlying causes of problems. It also gives a structured way to test improvements and keep them working.

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

process-improvement 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.

What it actually says

Process Improvement

Process Mapping

Notation (BPMN Simplified)

  • ○ Start/End event
  • □ Task/Activity
  • ◇ Decision gateway
  • → Flow direction

Levels of Detail

  1. L1: High-level process areas
  2. L2: Sub-processes
  3. L3: Detailed activities
  4. L4: Work instructions

Analysis Techniques

Value Stream Mapping

  • Identify value-adding vs non-value-adding steps
  • Calculate cycle time vs wait time
  • Find bottlenecks

Root Cause Analysis

  1. Define the problem
  2. Collect data
  3. Identify possible causes (5 Whys)
  4. Verify root cause
  5. Implement solution

Improvement Framework (DMAIC)

Phase Activities
Define Problem statement, scope, goals
Measure Current state, baseline metrics
Analyze Root causes, opportunities
Improve Solutions, pilot, implement
Control Sustain, monitor, document

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.

process-improvement is a skill published in the GitHub repository saolalab/clawforce (38 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 20 tokens to every session and 360 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.
