skill-updater
Use this skill after a task succeeds (user confirms 'success' or tools report success). It extracts new experience from the session log + daily memory, locates relevant skills, and proposes diff-formatted updates to SKILL.md files with a clear summary for the user.
npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill skill-updater --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Skill Updater (Experience-to-Skill Diff) ## Overview `skill-updater` turns successful task execution into reusable skill improvements. It reads the **session log** and **daily memory**, extracts new experience (what worked, new patterns, edge cases), identifies the most relevant skill files, and produces **diff-formatted** update suggestions for `SKILL.md`. This skill follows NeuroClaw hierarchy: - Defines **WHAT to do**, not low-level implementation details. - Does **not** execute direct shell commands itself. - Delegates any file scanning or execution via helper skills. --- ## When to Call This Skill - Task just finished successfully and user confirms "success". - A tool returns a success status and experience should be recorded. - Repeated tasks indicate missing instructions or edge-case guidance. --- ## Core Workflow (Never Bypassed) 1. Read the **session log** and the relevant **daily memory**. 2. Extract **new experience**: - what worked - new patterns - edge cases solved 3. Identify the most relevant skill(s): - Use `skill-creator` to scan `workspace/skills/` if available. - If not available, request a list of relevant skill files from the user. 4. Draft **diff-formatted**

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill skill-updater --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 BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 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.
