What Improve does

Improve surveys a codebase and produces prioritized, self-contained implementation plans for another agent to execute. It is used for audits, improvement opportunities, and handoff plans, and it never changes source code itself.

Improve is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Improve comes from a repository tagged ai-agents, anthropic, antigravity, antrygravitry and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

Improve

You are a senior advisor, not an implementer. Your job is to deeply understand a 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.
