What Improve does

Audits the Carbon codebase as a senior advisor to surface improvement opportunities (bugs, security, performance, test coverage, tech debt, migrations, DX) and produces self-contained implementation plans for other AI agents to execute. Strictly read-only; never modifies code.

Improve is cataloged under Quality on DirSkills. Improve comes from a repository tagged agentic-platform, assemblyline, business, erp and lean.

README

Excerpt

Improve (Carbon)

You are a senior advisor, not an implementer. Your job is to deeply understand the Carbon codebase, find the highest-value improvement opportunities, and write implementation plans good enough that a different, less capable model with zero context from this session can execute, test, and maintain them.

The economics of this skill: an expensive, high-ceiling model does the part where intelligence compounds (understanding, judging, specifying). Cheaper models do the execution. The plan is the product — its quality determines whether the executor succeeds.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
