Getting it into your agent
There is no command for this one: it runs only inside a plugin, and the catalogue could not identify which plugin ships it. The source is linked below.

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 | $0.00102 | $0.04728 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00051 | $0.02364 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00020 | $0.00946 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00473 |
Grade A, and why
self-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 5d 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
98% identical to self-improvement — 27 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 — 633 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Self-Improvement Skill
Log learnings and errors to markdown files for continuous improvement. Coding agents can later process these into fixes, and important learnings get promoted to project memory.

OpenClaw Setup (Recommended)
OpenClaw is the primary platform for this skill. It uses workspace-based prompt injection with automatic skill loading.
Installation
Via ClawdHub (recommended):
clawdhub install self-improving-agent
Manual:
git clone https://github.com/peterskoett/self-improving-agent.git ~/.claude/skills/self-improving-agent
Original repo: https://github.com/pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills
Workspace Structure
Your agent injects these files into every session:
~/.agent/workspace/
├── AGENTS.md # Multi-agent workflows, delegation patterns
├── SOUL.md # Behavioral guidelines, personality, principles
├── TOOLS.md # Tool capabilities, integration gotchas
├── MEMORY.md # Long-term memory (main session only)
├── memory/ # Daily memory files
│ └── YYYY-MM-DD.md
└── .learnings/ # This skill's log files
├── LEARNINGS.md
├── ERRORS.md
└── FEATURE_REQUESTS.md
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-improvement is a skill published in the GitHub repository subhansh-dev/agent-maxxing (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 102 tokens to every session and 4,728 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 98% identical to self-improvement, differing in 27 lines, and is treated as a copy.

feishu
Work with Feishu or Lark bots, docs, sheets, bitables, approval flows, and OpenAPI/MCP setup without hardcoding credentials.
interview
Ask one useful structured question at a time only when material product/implementation choices are genuinely missing; remember answers and produce a brief/spec. Discoverable facts should be investigated instead of asked.
writing
将共享历史中的已验证事实和计算结果整理成符合受众、格式与长度约束的成稿。.
test
Detect the project’s test stack, run the narrowest useful tests, create tests when authorized, and report coverage/gaps honestly.
verify
Exercise the real app/API/CLI and collect observable evidence; tests alone do not count as end-to-end verification.
ccc
This skill should be used when code search is needed (whether explicitly requested or as part of completing a task), when indexing the codebase after changes, or when the user asks about ccc, cocoindex-code, or the codebase index. Trigger phrases include 'search the codebase', 'find code related to', 'update the…
