What it does
Self Improvement is an agent skill from pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills. Captures learnings, errors, corrections, and feature requests to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (2) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (3) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (4) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task, (5) Receiving a Handoff block from self-healing (a recurring verified heal at Recurrence-Count = 3) to distill into a memory file or new skill. For ACTIVE runtime failures where…
Its SKILL.md is about 5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/ERRORS.md`, `assets/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` and `assets/LEARNINGS.md`).
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Scheduled and recurring tasks.
When your agent uses it
- User corrects Claude (No
- User requests a capability that doesnt exist
- Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated
- A better approach is discovered for a recurring task
Example prompts
- “No, that”
- “Actually...”
- “Use the self-improvement skill to capture learnings, errors, corrections, and feature requests to enable continuous improvement”
- “/self-improvement”
Requirements
- Node.js
- A Bash shell
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Change Status: pending → Status: resolved
- Add resolution block after Metadata
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a836dc. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ghnpxnpmpnpm
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
agentskills.io
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
Self Improvement loads about 5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 201 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,778 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,778 words (~4,981 tokens).
