self-improvement

self-improvement is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Zhow01/SkillAttack. It costs 102 tokens per session (5,245 once invoked), scanned A, original, no licence file.

A skill that records lessons from errors, user corrections, missing capabilities, and failed external tools. It supports ongoing improvement by preserving useful findings for later work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after an unexpected command or API failure, a user correction, a requested feature that is unavailable, or when the agent discovers that its knowledge is wrong or outdated.
Why use it?
It reduces the chance of repeating the same mistakes or overlooking corrections made during earlier 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-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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (hooks/openclaw/handler.js, scripts/activator.sh, scripts/error-detector.sh, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 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.
