What it does
Self Improvement Intake is an agent skill from real-simple-labs/parker-brain. Capture reasoning traces from user feedback, approvals, rejections, reroutes, expert learnings, and strategic decisions so Parker improves over time.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
Example prompts
- “/self-improvement-intake”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Identify the learning moment. Decide whether the user's message contains a durable lesson or only local feedback.
- Capture the decision context, with the full moment verbatim. Preserve why the user made the correction or decision and the historical…
- Classify scope. Use the narrowest accurate scope: local output, user, brand, team, skill, prompt family, system, or product architecture…
- Route to the living surface. User-specific lessons go to users/[user-id]/user-profile.md (their rules, process, craft, preferences) and…
- Create or update a trace. Save new traces under self-improvement/reasoning-traces/[YYYY-MM]/. If an existing trace or pattern already…
- Keep Jimmy in the loop. Parker may create a candidate trace from an inferred lesson, but Jimmy must confirm the why and the relevant…
- Promote carefully. Do not update prompts, skills, or system docs from one trace unless Jimmy explicitly approves the promotion or the…
- Report back. Tell the user what Parker learned, where it landed, what is still only a candidate, and where Parker needs the user's why.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2a6f6c6. 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
Self Improvement Intake loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 784 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 784 words (~1,442 tokens).
“Turn important feedback from normal conversation into durable Parker learning. The saved unit is the reasoning trace: what happened, the decision context behind it, why it mattered, what rule Parker should infer, where it applies, and what should change.”
