Low-noise self-improvement skill. Captures learnings, errors, and corrections into a local `.learnings/` cache layer. Never auto-promotes to long-term memory files (SOUL.md, MEMORY.md, AGENTS.md, TOOLS.md). Promotion requires explicit user approval after repeated validation.
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
# Self-Improving Agent (Low-Noise Edition) A conservative self-improvement system that treats `.learnings/` as a write-first cache layer. Nothing reaches the main system files without human review. ## Quick Reference | Action | Target | Auto? | |--------|--------|-------| | Log a learning | `.learnings/LEARNINGS.md` | Yes | | Log an error | `.learnings/ERRORS.md` | Yes | | Log a feature gap | `.learnings/FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` | Yes | | Promote to MEMORY.md | Requires user approval | No | | Promote to SOUL.md | Requires user approval + review | No | | Promote to AGENTS.md | Requires user approval | No | | Promote to TOOLS.md | Requires user approval | No | ## Core Principles 1. **Write to cache first.** All observations go to `.learnings/`. No exceptions. 2. **Never auto-promote.** The cache is not the system. Promotion is a deliberate act. 3. **SOUL.md is sacred.** Modifications require explicit human review every time. 4. **MEMORY.md is for stable truths.** Only long-term preferences, decisions, and goals belong there. 5. **Errors and learnings stay separate.** Different logs, different purposes. …

How to install
mdr add yishu5/claude-skills/self-improving-agent@sha256:ec8875185649a1f6The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260316.6f79809, 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.
