Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned charon-fan/agent-playbook at be7a9d7d17.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The self-improving-agent skill enables AI agents to autonomously evaluate their performance, identify areas for improvement, and adapt their strategies or behaviors accordingly. It supports continuous learning through feedback loops and iterative refinement of tasks.

When to use it

  • When you want an agent to refine its approach after receiving user feedback.
  • In scenarios where the task environment changes over time, requiring dynamic adaptation.
  • For long-running processes that benefit from incremental improvements in efficiency or accuracy.
  • When deploying agents in complex domains with evolving requirements.

Key capabilities

  • Autonomous performance evaluation and self-assessment
  • Iterative learning based on feedback
  • Dynamic strategy adjustment for improved outcomes
  • Continuous refinement of task execution

Example prompts

  • "Evaluate my last response and improve the next one."
  • "Adjust your approach to better handle user queries about climate change."
  • "Refine your method for organizing data based on recent performance metrics."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure that feedback mechanisms are clearly defined so the agent knows what to optimize.
  • Monitor the agent’s behavior closely during initial use, as self-improvement can sometimes lead to unintended outcomes if not guided properly.
