# Self-Improvement You have access to `gh` CLI and `git` in the sandbox. Use this skill when you encounter bugs, errors, or limitations in your own capabilities during your work. ## When to Activate This Skill Recognize these situations during your normal work: - A tool call fails with an unexpected error - A skill's instructions (SKILL.md) have wrong examples or outdated API usage - An MCP tool returns malformed or unexpected data - A prompt instruction is unclear, contradictory, or missing - A sandbox script or package is broken or misconfigured - You notice a code pattern that would make your work more effective if fixed **Always ask the user for consent before filing an issue or creating a PR.** Briefly explain what you found and what you want to report, then ask for approval. Do NOT file anything without explicit user confirmation. **Do NOT derail the user's current task.** Keep the consent request brief, file the issue quickly after approval, then continue with the user's request. ## Authentication - `GITHUB_TOKEN` env var is pre-configured (injected from `GITHUB_BOT_TOKEN`) - Git identity is set via env vars — no `git config` needed ## Workflow 1: Report a Bug (default — qui

What does the self-improve skill do?
Report issues and propose fixes to improve your own capabilities when you encounter errors or limitations
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ginlix-ai/LangAlpha --skill self-improve --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ginlix-ai/LangAlpha, a repository with 1,604 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
