improve SKILL.md skillB
improve from asymmetric-al/core is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/improve@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Survey any codebase as a senior advisor and produce prioritized, self-contained implementation plans for OTHER models/agents to execute. Strictly read-only on source code — never implements, fixes, or refactors anything itself. Use when asked to audit a codebase, find improvement opportunities (bugs, security, performance, test coverage, tech debt, migrations, DX), suggest features or where to take the project next (roadmap, product direction), or generate handoff plans for another agent to…
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
# 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. ## Hard Rules 1. **Never modify source code yourself.** No edits, no fixes, no "quick wins while you're in there." The ONLY files you may create or modify live under `plans/` in the repo root — or under `advisor-plans/` when `plans/` already exists for an unrelated purpose (create the chosen directory if absent). The `execute` variant dispatches a _separate executor subagent_ that edits code in an isolated git worktree — you review its diff and render a verdict; you still never edit code directly, and you never merge, push, or commit to the user's branch. …

How to install
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/improve@sha256:274b110189c39f37The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
