stellar-raven: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/improvements-pipeline/SKILL.md

improvements-pipeline is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from stellar-experimental/stellar-raven. It costs 77 tokens per session (4,764 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for managing findings about problems in upstream services, meaning external systems this project depends on. It tracks evidence, reports, decisions, recurring checks, and the status of each finding.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to file findings, verify them against live services, update their lifecycle status, run recurrence checks, and maintain the improvements index.
Why use it?
It keeps suspected problems separate from live-proven ones and prevents issues from being lost, repeatedly reported, or marked fixed without verification.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is stellar-experimental/stellar-raven's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on stellar-raven itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything stellar-raven configures →

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

improvements-pipeline 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 28d 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 — 339 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Improvements pipeline

Use this skill when work touches improvements/: filing upstream findings, changing statuses, running probes, updating intake targets, regenerating the index, or interpreting lint failures. Read improvements/README.md first; it is the charter.

Status lifecycle

Statuses are evidence bars:

  • proposed: plausible finding, usually from an eval transcript or review, but not yet live-proven.
  • verified: live re-execution proves the finding against the upstream surface; record the command, service response, result stamp, or other reproducible evidence.
  • reported-upstream: filed with the service owner; evidence must include the durable filed ref.
  • declined-upstream: the trigger still reproduces but the owner explicitly declined, classified it as legacy, or rejected the recommendation as overfit. Keep the record, include the decline ref and a non-empty disposition, do not re-file/pester, and revisit only on drift or materially new evidence.
  • fixed-upstream: live re-check confirms the upstream fix. If a residual remains, create or update a successor finding instead of stretching the old one. This is a transient deletion-candidate queue, not an archive state.

The terminal resolved transition is deletion from the active collection plus an entry in improvements/resolved.json. IDs are unique across the active tree and resolved ledger and are never reused; choose the next numeric id from the maximum across both. Git history, the resolved receipt, and the upstream resolution comment preserve evidence without retaining stale finding files.

Findings are for upstream service/data/content/spec gaps only. Own-repo fixes go to .agents/TODO.md.

GitHub state is not truth by itself. An upstream issue being closed or a PR being merged is evidence to inspect; a finding moves to fixed-upstream only after re-running the original trigger, recurrence probe, or live repro and observing the fix.

Filing workflow

Dedupe first: search existing finding ids, titles, and recurrences before adding a file. A new finding needs a concrete owner-facing recommendation, quantified prevalence when possible, and evidence a stranger can reproduce. Use the next id in the service prefix sequence:

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.

improvements-pipeline is a skill published in the GitHub repository stellar-experimental/stellar-raven (13 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 77 tokens to every session and 4,764 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. 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.
