One thing missing from my skill set is what compound engineering has - the promise that your process improves over time
I have been extremely reluctant to add this since I think models are REALLY bad at improving their own behavior
But I’m starting to think that a skill that you run at the end of a session to:
- Update your CODING_STANDARDS.md
- Rework & cull existing skills/steering instructions
- Powered by /writing-for-agents
…would actually be pretty great.
Just needs a name
Maybe “/improve-me”
