Self-improvement loop for the kicad skill pack: each tick picks one backlog item, researches forums if needed, builds/tests against the fixture project, commits, and feeds lessons back into the skills. Use on /loop ticks or when asked to improve the kicad skills.
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 loop (one tick = one slice) Repo: `$(kx root)`. Never test against real user projects (read-only soak targets only); use `tests/fixtures/`. ## Tick protocol 1. `git -C $(kx root) log --oneline | head` + read `doc/BACKLOG.md` — pick the TOP unchecked item only. 2. If the item needs domain knowledge: ONE focused forum/web sweep (kicad.info, EEVblog, Hackaday, official dev-docs — WebSearch/WebFetch are deferred tools: load via ToolSearch first); distill into the relevant SKILL.md or doc/DESIGN.md — cite the source. 3. Build the slice; test on fixtures (`python3 tests/test_roundtrip.py` plus slice-specific test); mutation-test any new verifier rule. 4. Commit (one commit per step, no Co-Authored-By trailer). 5. Feed back: update the SKILL.md that the lesson belongs to; tick the backlog box; append new discoveries as new backlog items. 6. End the tick by suggesting the user run /compact. ## Quality bar SOLID, zero-copy where sensible, no dead code, no legacy left behind; every behavior provable by a command the next tick can rerun.

How to install
mdr add avatarsd/kiskill/kicad-improve@sha256:0b0d775129dcb28bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260611.db3c74c, 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.
