self-improve-with-tinyfish

self-improve-with-tinyfish is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from tinyfish-io/tinyfish-cookbook. It costs 68 tokens per session (2,298 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reusable skill that lets Hermes research a tool, API, framework, workflow, or subject and save the resulting instructions for later use. Hermes is an AI assistant, and TinyFish is the required search and fetching service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Teaching Hermes a new capability, researching official documentation and examples, and creating or improving a reusable skill.
Why use it?
It turns one-time research into stored guidance, while checking first that the required TinyFish command-line tool or API access is available.

About the project

TinyFish Cookbook is a collection of example applications, recipes, and automations built with TinyFish, a web service that lets AI agents search the live web, read pages, and perform browser-based tasks. Developers use it to learn how to build web agents and connect them with workflows such as research, monitoring, and data collection. The catalogue entries provide agent skills and integrations for working with these examples and TinyFish endpoints.

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-improve-with-tinyfish 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 1mo 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-Improve With TinyFish

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks Hermes to:

  • Learn a new tool, API, framework, workflow, or domain for future tasks.
  • Create, install, or improve a reusable Hermes skill.
  • Research official docs and examples before writing procedural memory.
  • "Teach yourself," "upgrade yourself," or "make a skill for this."

Do not use this skill for ordinary one-off answers unless the user explicitly wants a saved skill.

Pre-flight Check (REQUIRED)

Before making any TinyFish call, determine which mode to use.

1. Check for CLI:

which tinyfish && tinyfish --version || echo "TINYFISH_CLI_NOT_FOUND"

2. If CLI is found, check auth:

tinyfish auth status

If authenticated, use CLI mode for all searches and fetches below.

3. If CLI is not found, check for API key:

test -n "$TINYFISH_API_KEY" && echo "API_KEY_AVAILABLE" || echo "TINYFISH_API_KEY is not set"

If the API key is available, use API mode for all searches and fetches below.

4. If neither CLI nor API key is available, stop and tell the user:

Install the TinyFish CLI: npm install -g @tiny-fish/cli Then authenticate: tinyfish auth login

Or set TINYFISH_API_KEY in your environment. Get a key at: https://agent.tinyfish.ai/api-keys

Do NOT proceed until one mode is confirmed.


Core Workflow

  1. Acknowledge the learning request.

    • Send a short progress update: I'll research this with TinyFish and create a reusable skill.
    • Extract a clean skill topic from the user request.
    • Preserve constraints such as "check official docs," "cover all endpoints," "focus on errors," or "make it production-ready."
  2. Search with TinyFish.

    • Use the CLI or API (whichever passed pre-flight).
    • Run multiple targeted searches.
    • Prefer official docs and authoritative examples first.
    • Do not invent URLs.
  3. Analyze search results.

    • Review titles, snippets, URLs, site names, and ranks.
    • Decide if the current sources cover setup, main workflow, edge cases, and validation.
    • If coverage is weak, run follow-up searches before fetching.

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.
