Improve software continuously through small, safe, behavior-preserving changes that reduce maintenance cost. Use for refactoring, cleanup, technical debt, naming, duplication, dead code, or post-change polish.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Kaizen Kaizen is continuous improvement. In software, make the codebase a little clearer, safer, or easier to change whenever a relevant opportunity can be handled without hiding scope or risk. This is a Japanese-inspired engineering metaphor, not permission for constant churn. ## Use this skill when - refactoring an existing area; - removing duplication, dead paths, or misleading names; - improving a module while implementing adjacent behavior; - reducing recurring maintenance cost; - converting a lesson into a guardrail; or - deciding whether cleanup belongs in the current change. ## Outcome Produce a small improvement that: - has a concrete maintenance, correctness, safety, or clarity benefit; - preserves behavior unless behavior change is explicit; - is easy to review and revert; - has appropriate regression protection; and - does not turn a focused task into a rewrite. ## Workflow ### 1. Name the waste Identify the specific pain: misleading language, duplication, dead code, unclear boundary, missing test, noisy diagnostic, fragile setup, repeated manual step, or known defect. Explain why it matters now. ### 2. Establish a baseline …

How to install
mdr add kuya-egg/monozukuri/kaizen@sha256:f953f011e5d06338The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260909.6197cfc, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
