What problem does it solve?
Installing a skill as published often means accepting a low-quality skill, while improving it first requires a separate manual workflow. This Skill combines both steps: it resolves a target skill, improves a throwaway copy with skill-auto-improver, and installs only the improved result.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Three input forms: Resolve the target from a local path, a GitHub repo, or a catalog skill name via
asm search --available.
- Non-destructive improvement: All edits happen on a
mktemp -d copy, so the user's own files and git branches are never modified.
- Collision-safe install: Probes
asm list --json before asm install, since installs overwrite same-named skills without prompting.
- Provenance reporting: Reports the supplied identifier, resolved URL, upstream commit SHA, and before/after quality scores.
- Use Case: A user says "install code-review but improve it first" — the Skill resolves the catalog entry, raises its score from 71 to 92, and installs the improved variant to
~/.claude/skills/code-review.
Quick Start
Ask the agent to install an improved version of a named skill, for example by saying "install code-review but improve it first" while specifying the target tool and scope.
