What problem does it solve?
It helps you reliably raise the quality of an existing skill by measuring failures and warnings, applying only targeted fixes, and re-testing to confirm the improvement.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Automated improvement loop: Runs a baseline static test, proposes minimal changes, writes an updated skill, and re-runs tests to verify whether the score improved.
- Static + category-aware checks: Uses the skill testing framework to optionally apply category rubrics when a skill declares a category.
- Change discipline and rollback: Keeps or reverts based on whether the combined failure count improves after the update.
- Use Case: When a skill starts failing quality gates (missing required frontmatter, missing verdict keywords, weak follow-up structure), you can use this workflow to fix the specific gaps without rewriting passing sections.
Quick Start
Use /skill-improve skill-improve to evaluate and improve the selected skill by running the test-fix-retest loop and updating the skill file only after approval.
