What it does

Self Correction Loop is an agent skill from skuramatata/my-pi-agent. Use when Codex or OpenCode repeats avoidable mistakes, keeps guessing after failures, fails to trigger an expected skill/workflow/subagent, or the user corrects agent behavior, assumptions, scope, or process with phrases like 不对, 不是, 偷懒, 自我进化, 自我修正, 每次都这样, or similar frustration in this repository.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Subagents.

When your agent uses it

  • OpenCode repeats avoidable mistakes
  • Keeps guessing after failures
  • Fails to trigger an expected skill/workflow/subagent
  • The user corrects agent behavior

Example prompts

  • “/self-correction-loop”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Acknowledge the failure mode briefly in Chinese.
  2. Freeze the current assumption: state exactly what was assumed and what contradicted it.
  3. Inspect the authoritative layer before another attempt
  4. Define a next-attempt contract
  5. Execute the smallest next step and report the result.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ed83ff1. 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 Correction Loop loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 834 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 834 words (~1,531 tokens).

“When work starts drifting into guesswork, stop trying more actions. Convert the failure into a concrete constraint for the next attempt, then continue only with evidence from source code, runtime state, or tests.”
