What it does
Improve System is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. Apply the self-improvement system on demand. Read the accumulated reasoning traces and update this brand's and this user's living context to reflect what Parker has learned. Use when Jimmy runs /improve-system or asks Parker to apply what it has learned, fold the traces in, or get this brand's context up to date with recent feedback.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
When your agent uses it
- Jimmy runs /improve-system
- Asks Parker to apply what it has learned
- Fold the traces in
- Get this brands context up to date with recent feedback
Example prompts
- “s and this user”
- “/improve-system”
Workflow steps
9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Load the method. Read parker-system/self-improvement/self-improvement-system.md (at the root in the factory). It governs scope…
- Set the scope. Identify the brand and the user this pass is for. Default to the current brand in context and the current user. If either…
- Gather the traces. Read across self-improvement/reasoning-traces/[YYYY-MM]/, the repeated themes in patterns/INDEX.md, and anything parked…
- Cluster and dedupe. Group traces that teach the same lesson. A lesson repeated across three traces is stronger evidence than one; note the…
- Decide what is promotable. For each cluster, check the promotion condition from the method: explicit user approval, repeated traces…
- Fold each promotable lesson into its narrowest correct surface. Use the brand and user targets above. Update the living surface; do not…
- Mark state honestly. Where a trace cleanly meets its promotion condition and the user has invoked this pass to apply it, write the update…
- Keep the human in the loop. Parker can fold in what is clearly decided, but it does not silently promote an inferred why or stretch a…
- Report back. Tell the user what landed where: what was applied to the brand, what was applied to the user, what is [~] pending review…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 62c4f72. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Improve System loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,376 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,376 words (~2,447 tokens).
“Turn the reasoning traces Parker has been capturing into actual updates to the two surfaces the user named when they ran this: this brand's context and this person's context. Capture already happened — self-improvement-intake wrote the traces during conversation. This…”
