What problem does it solve?
This skill eliminates the risk of vague, unbounded improvement work by turning scattered signals from project knowledge bases, code, tests, issues, and CI systems into structured, measurable improvement loop proposals with clear success criteria.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Intent Alignment: Aggregates project goals and constraints from documentation and knowledge bases (if present) to ensure improvements align with team priorities.
- Signal-Based Targeting: Inspects mechanical evidence like failing tests, CI failures, flaky tests, and issue backlogs to identify high-impact, low-risk improvement targets.
- Structured Proposals: Outputs 1 to 5 prioritized loop proposals with explicit metrics, verification commands, keep/discard rules, and guardrails against circular completion checks.
- Use Case: A team with recurring flaky tests and open issues with clear acceptance criteria can use this skill to generate prioritized, executable improvement plans ready to hand off to an execution skill.
Quick Start
Use the improvement-loop-planner skill to generate a set of bounded, measurable improvement loop proposals for your current project or a specific area you want to optimize.
