What it does

Improve Add Skill is an agent skill from yutkat/my-neovim-pluginlist. Improve the repo-local add skill from reviewed Neovim plugin categorization corrections. Use when a correction commit, PR review result, diff, or artifact such as a teach: commit shows that $add placed, excluded, or reasoned about plugins incorrectly and the reusable lesson should be folded back into .codex/skills/add/.

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Development, covering Pull requests. The repository describes itself as: My personal list of Neovim plugins.

When your agent uses it

  • A correction commit
  • PR review result
  • Artifact such as a teach: commit shows that $add placed
  • Reasoned about plugins incorrectly and the reusable lesson should be folded back into .codex/skills/add/

Example prompts

  • “/improve-add-skill”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the correction artifacts named in the user request, such as a commit diff, PR body, .reason.md, review comment, or…
  2. Read .codex/skills/add/SKILL.md, .codex/skills/add/references/PLACEMENT_RULES.md, and .codex/skills/add/references/SECTION.md.
  3. Identify only the actual reviewed correction: moved plugin entries, removed entries, changed .reason.md categories, or explicit rationale…
  4. Convert the correction into the smallest reusable rule that would have prevented the mistake.
  5. Edit only .codex/skills/add/SKILL.md and .codex/skills/add/references/*.md.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d2395c7. 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 Add Skill loads about 521 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 226 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~521

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 226 words (~521 tokens).

“Turn reviewed corrections from $add PRs into small, reusable improvements to the add skill.”
