Self-Improving + Proactive Agent

Self-Improving + Proactive Agent is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from szsip239/teamclaw. It costs 105 tokens per session (2,112 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of Self-Improving + Proactive Agent, MIT.

A self-review and memory system for a coding agent. It records corrections, project lessons, and recurring patterns so the agent can check its work and reuse what it learns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to set up project memory, review completed work, log corrections, and maintain recurring notes about code, writing, or communication.
Why use it?
It helps catch mistakes after failures or feedback and prevents useful lessons from being lost between tasks.

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

Self-Improving + Proactive Agent 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 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.

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.

Origin

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 251 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

When to Use

User corrects you or points out mistakes. You complete significant work and want to evaluate the outcome. You notice something in your own output that could be better. Knowledge should compound over time without manual maintenance.

Architecture

Memory lives in ~/self-improving/ with tiered structure. If ~/self-improving/ does not exist, run setup.md. Workspace setup should add the standard self-improving steering to the workspace AGENTS, SOUL, and HEARTBEAT.md files, with recurring maintenance routed through heartbeat-rules.md.

  • Optional installation of the Proactivity skill may require network access

Learning Signals

Log automatically when you notice these patterns:

Corrections → add to corrections.md, evaluate for memory.md:

  • "No, that's not right..."
  • "Actually, it should be..."
  • "You're wrong about..."
  • "I prefer X, not Y"
  • "Remember that I always..."
  • "I told you before..."
  • "Stop doing X"
  • "Why do you keep..."

What ships with it

12 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.

Changes

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.
