The loop, its ledger, and its guards live in the\nworkflow; this skill collects the three inputs the generic entry requires and relays the\noutcome.\n\n## Starting the loop\n\nThe user provided: `$ARGUMENTS` (if empty, take the details from the conversation).\n\n### 1. Collect the three required inputs — no guessing\n\n1. **Target**: the absolute path to the directory under improvement. Resolve relative\n   paths against the working directory; verify the directory exists.\n2. **Reviewer**: the installed skill or agent that performs every review. The user must\n   name it — there is no default and no bundled reviewer. Determine the kind:\n   - a namespaced agent (e.g. `plugin-dev:skill-reviewer`) → `\"kind\": \"agent\"`\n   - an installed skill (e.g. `pr-review-toolkit:review-pr`) → `\"kind\": \"skill\"`\n   If the name could be either, check the session's skill listing; if still ambiguous,\n   ask the user. If no reviewer was named, ask — do not pick one.\n3. **Scope**: repo-relative globs the loop may touch. The generic entry requires it\n   explicitly; if the user did not give one, propose the target directory\n   (`<repo-relative-target>/**`) and confirm before launching.\n\n### 2. Resolve the loop script\n\nThe loop is the dynamic workflow `workflows/improve.js` in this plugin. Launch it by\npath: `scriptPath` takes a resolved absolute path, and the Workflow tool's `name` resolves\nbuilt-in and project workflows, so a marketplace-installed one may not answer to\n`code-improver:improve`. Try in order, first hit wins — the home directories come before\n`.` so an installed copy beats a checkout of this marketplace:\n\n1. `Bash: ls -d -- \"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/improve.js\"`\n2. `Bash: ls -d -- \"${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT}/workflows/improve.js\"` (if that variable is set instead)\n3. `Bash: find ~/.claude ~/.codex . -maxdepth 7 -path '*/code-improver/workflows/improve.js' -print -quit 2>/dev/null`\n\nUse the path exactly as printed. Its plugin directory — the path with\n`/workflows/improve.js` removed — is `pluginRoot`. If all three come back empty, try\n`{name: \"code-improver:improve\"}` once; if that is unavailable too, stop and say the loop\ncould not be located. Do not assemble a path by hand and do not improvise the loop.\n\n### 3. Invoke the workflow\n\nRun it with the Workflow tool, `{scriptPath: \"<the path from step 2>\", args: {...}}`:\n\n```json\n{\n  \"target\": \"<absolute target path>\",\n  \"reviewer\": { \"kind\": \"agent|skill\", \"name\": \"<namespaced-name>\", \"notes\": \"<what the reviewer should know about the target>\" },\n  \"scope\": [\"<repo-relative-glob>/**\"],\n  \"pluginRoot\": \"<the plugin directory from step 2>\",\n  \"maxRounds\": 5\n}\n```\n\n- `maxRounds` only if the user asked for a different cap.\n- `pluginRoot` lets the run find its metrics collector; omit the key only if step 2 fell\n  through to the workflow name — the workflow then searches for itself.\n- `finalize` (`{\"version_bump\": bool, \"narration_strip\": bool, \"docs_pass\": bool}`) only\n  to override the defaults: version bump when the target sits inside a plugin, narration\n  strip and docs pass always.\n- `decision` only on continuation (below).\n\nThe workflow runs in the background and needs no babysitting: it reviews, fixes,\nre-reviews, checks scope after every fix round, and can only complete on a clean review.\nIt never commits; all changes stay in the working tree.\n\n**If the Workflow tool is unavailable or denied, stop and say so.** Do not improvise the\nloop inline with direct edits — the ledger, scope guard, and escalation guarantees live\nin the workflow, and an inline imitation has none of them.\n\n**If the result is `halted: \"reviewer-unavailable\"`, relay it and stop.** The named\nreviewer is not installed in this session; tell the user which plugin provides it and\nre-run after installing. Do not review the target yourself.\n\n**Do not end your turn while the loop is running.** The Workflow tool returns a task id\nimmediately; the result comes later. In an interactive session the completion\nnotification re-invokes you — wait for it. In a non-interactive run (scripted, CI, eval)\nthere is no later turn: stopping abandons the loop mid-round, so after launching, poll\nthe task (TaskOutput with the returned task id, or sleep-and-recheck) until it completes,\nthen relay the result. A session that answers \"the loop is running, I'll report later\"\nhas lost the run.\n\n## Relaying the result\n\nThe workflow returns a structured result. Report it honestly — the distinctions matter:\n\n- **`converged: true`** — the last action was a review with zero critical/major findings.\n  Report rounds used, remaining minor findings (`open_minor_count`), and the artifact\n  paths (`ledger_path`, `metrics`).\n- **`capped: true`** — the fix budget ran out and the FINAL review still found blocking\n  issues. Say plainly: **capped, NOT converged**, and list `open_blocking`. Do not\n  present this as success.\n- **`escalation`** — the loop detected it was not converging (recurring findings,\n  non-decreasing counts, or a fix relocating a problem). Relay the escalation message and\n  finding ids to the user: this needs a design decision, not more rounds.\n- **`halted`** — a guard fired (scope violation, unregistered new files, a dead or\n  unavailable reviewer, or a finalize pass whose own edits failed the check that follows\n  it). Relay the paths in `violations`/`new_untracked_files`, the sites in\n  `finalize_regressions`, and the notes.\n- **`notes`** always travel with the result — surface them; they include loud warnings\n  such as \"a git repository was initialized\".\n\n## Continuing after an escalation\n\nThe loop stops on escalation by design. When the user decides, start a fresh run with\nthe same `target` and `reviewer` plus:\n\n```json\n{ \"decision\": \"<the user's ruling, verbatim>\" }\n```\n\nThe new run reloads the on-disk ledger, so every finding, rejection, and verdict carries\nover — rounds restart, re-derivation does not.\n\nTo stop a running loop, stop the workflow task (TaskStop); the ledger on disk is current\nto the last round and a re-run resumes from it.\n\n## When NOT to use\n\n- **A Claude Code skill**: use the `skill-improver` entry — it wires the right reviewer\n- **A branch / pull request**: use the `pr-improver` entry — it derives scope from the diff\n- **One-time review**: dispatch the reviewer directly; the loop's value is iteration\n- **Quick single fixes**: edit the file directly\n","tagline":"Runs an autonomous review-and-fix improvement loop over any code target — a skill, plugin, module, or directory — using a reviewer the user names: any installed skill or agent.
