sips-tool-factory skillA

sips-tool-factory is agent-read markdown (skill) from rasputinkaiser/self-improvement-plugin: Decide whether to reuse, improve, or scaffold a deterministic helper. Use when repeated work is slow, brittle, or blocked by a missing local tool..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# SIPS Tool Factory

Use `homebase_tool_factory` with the task, desired helper, and any existing script. Prefer improving a nearby working helper over creating a new one.

Create a tool only when it removes repeated manual work or closes a real capability gap. Keep it repo-local, deterministic, and covered by a small smoke or regression check.

After the helper works, record the command and proof path in `state.yaml`, `LEDGER.md`, or memory when the lesson is durable.

Use `available_types` and `required_types` when the task has known artifact contracts. Treat a composition as a proposal requiring consumer checks; `insufficient_fit` calls for more evidence or an explicit creation decision.

Scaffolding creates a draft `.contract.json`. Implement the helper and populate its inputs, outputs, prerequisites, effects, failure semantics, resources, and behavioral cases before setting status to `implemented`. `validate` executes those cases and records exact artifact identities; help output and test-name mentions are insufficient. `promote` packages the validated version and pins the skill entrypoint. Host discovery remains a separate check.
