Reads complete conversation evidence, measures visible cost, and recommends minimal improvements.

  • The user wants to improve a conversation
  • SKILL.md covers Actions and Transversal rules
  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder
  • Reduce wasted time

What it does

05 Improve is an agent skill from ai-driven-dev/framework. Reads complete conversation evidence, measures visible cost, and recommends minimal improvements. Use when the user wants to improve a conversation, reduce wasted time or tokens, or choose files to revise. Not for delivery review or automatic edits.

Its SKILL.md is about 390 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 9 other files, including assets (for example `actions/01-read-conversation.md`, `actions/02-recommend.md` and `actions/03-target-edits.md`).

The repository describes itself as: Marketplace Framework AI-Driven Dev : Context Engineering, Plugins, Agents, Skills, Hooks, Templates, SDLC. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to improve a conversation
  • Reduce wasted time
  • Choose files to revise

Example prompts

  • “Use the 05-improve skill to read complete conversation evidence, measures visible cost, and recommends minimal improvements”
  • “/05-improve”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30640. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships script files (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

05 Improve loads about 390 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 96 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~390

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

The full file from ai-driven-dev/framework at commit 6e30640, republished under its MIT licence (© ai-driven-dev). 96 words, ~390 tokens.

Transversal rules

  • After resolving the source, run all three actions without pausing for confirmation.
  • Analyze only a complete conversation and the exact skills or documents it names.
  • Exclude every current or previous improve invocation and report from the analysis evidence.
  • Never invent time, tokens, source coverage, or document status.
  • Do not modify, stage, or persist any project file.
