What Improve does

Improve surveys a codebase and writes prioritized, self-contained implementation plans for another agent to execute. It is read-only on source code and is used for audits, bug triage, roadmap planning, and handoff plans.

Improve is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Improve comes from a repository tagged ai, assistant, claude-code, configuration-management and cursor.

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.
