Self-improvement logging and closed-loop feedback: Trigger when a command or operation fails, the user corrects you, outdated knowledge is identified, an external API fails, or a better reusable solution is found. Review historical learnings before important tasks. Avoid triggering during ordinary chat, for temporary mistakes that do not need to be logged, or when the user has explicitly said not to log.
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-Improvement Skill (Minis Edition) This skill is used in the Minis environment to **record errors, corrections, and reusable best practices**, creating a traceable learning loop. ## Minis Directory Conventions - **Working directory**: `/var/minis/workspace/` - **Default learning log directory for this skill**: `/var/minis/skills/self-improving-agent/data/` - **Public learning log directory within this skill (after promotion)**: `/var/minis/skills/self-improving-agent/data/public/` - **Project-level learning log directory (optional)**: `<project>/.learnings/` - **Learning log files**: - `LEARNINGS.md` (corrections, knowledge gaps, best practices) - `ERRORS.md` (command failures, exception output) - `FEATURE_REQUESTS.md` (new capabilities requested by users) > By default, log entries go first to the skill's own `data` directory. When you explicitly specify a project, write to the project-level log. When an issue has been abstracted into a cross-project rule, promote it to the skill's public area or the Minis memory system. ## Current Final Rules - **Default logging location**: `/var/minis/skills/self-improving-agent/data/` …

How to install
mdr add openminis/minisskills/self-improving-agent@sha256:25ff48212c450f67The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260801.3cb01ce, 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.
