What problem does it solve?
This Skill reduces the guesswork in improving an existing skill by measuring failures and warnings, diagnosing the exact gaps, applying targeted edits, and verifying improvement with re-tests.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Test → fix → retest loop: Runs static and optional category rubric checks, then keeps or reverts changes based on score improvement.
- Targeted diagnosis: Identifies which static check failed (or warned) and maps failures to concrete frontmatter/body gaps.
- Controlled writing: Shows before/after proposals and asks for permission before modifying the skill file.
- Use Case: When a skill under
.claude/skills/ fails required quality gates, run this Skill to upgrade it until it passes static and category standards.
Quick Start
Run /skill-improve skill-improve to improve that skill by running baseline checks, proposing targeted fixes, and re-testing after applying them.
