Self-Improve Skill

This skill is the workflow backbone for the self-improve plugin. It is invoked indirectly via slash commands. Each command in commands/*.md calls into this skill with a specific sub-task.

Operations

capture-lesson — write a new lesson file from drafted content. Includes contradiction check against INDEX.md.
capture-coupling — append a coupling entry. Contradiction check against existing rules.
check-couplings — diff repo vs coupling.json, report missing impacted artifacts.
curate — review lessons for staleness, duplicates, drift. One-by-one user confirmation.
promote — execute one of five promotion vectors.
improve-skill — absorb skill-related lessons into an existing skill's SKILL.md.
bootstrap — scan repo for structural patterns, propose coupling rules.

Consult-lesson behavior (passive missing-reference nudge)

When you load a lesson file (because its Use when ... description matched the current task), inspect the body for inline file/symbol references. Heuristic: backtick-quoted strings matching:

File extensions: \.(ts|tsx|js|jsx|md|json|yml|yaml|py|sh|sql)$
Path-like: starting with /, ./, ~/, or containing /
Function/method calls: identifiers immediately followed by (

For each detected reference:

Verify the file/symbol exists in the current project (or in $HOME for path-like ~/...).
If missing, append a single line to your response: 📌 Lesson \<slug>` references missing `<symbol-or-path>` — `/curate <slug>` to fix.`

Do not surface this for every lesson — only when a missing reference is detected. Skip the check on lessons that don't have inline file/symbol references.
