CI-only self-improvement workflow using gh-aw (GitHub Agentic Workflows).

  • Works in 3 steps: GitHub Actions enabled for the repository → GitHub CLI authenticated (gh auth status) → gh-aw installed for authoring/validation
  • : you want automated learning capture in CI/headless pipelines
  • SKILL.md covers Install, Purpose, Context Limitation (Important) and Prerequisites, plus 6 more sections
  • Calls gh and npx

What it does

Self Improvement CI is an agent skill from pskoett/pskoett-ai-skills. CI-only self-improvement workflow using gh-aw (GitHub Agentic Workflows). Captures recurring failure patterns and quality signals from pull request checks, emits structured learning candidates, and proposes durable prevention rules without interactive prompts. Use when: you want automated learning capture in CI/headless pipelines.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/workflow-example.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. It works with GitHub.

When your agent uses it

  • : you want automated learning capture in CI/headless pipelines
  • Tasks that involve Pull requests

Example prompts

  • “/self-improvement-ci”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. GitHub Actions enabled for the repository
  2. GitHub CLI authenticated (gh auth status)
  3. gh-aw installed for authoring/validation

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • gh
    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use gh and npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 CI loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 418 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 418 words (~1,145 tokens).
