self-improve

name	self-improve
description	Activates autonomous code improvement — competing strategies, benchmarking, tournament selection
tags	["optimization","autonomous"]

Activation

This skill activates the self-improve agent for measurable code optimization.

The agent will:

• Analyze the target area and capture baseline metrics
• Generate 2-3 competing improvement hypotheses
• Implement and benchmark each approach
• Tournament-select: keep only what measurably improves
• Iterate until target met or budget exhausted

Trigger Keywords

self-improve, autonomous optimization, improve performance, optimize

Persistence

• Config: .omg/research/self-improve/config.json
• Baseline: .omg/research/self-improve/baseline.json
• History: .omg/research/self-improve/history/

When NOT to Use

• Single targeted fix → use @omg:executor
• Need to understand before changing → use deep-dive or trace
• No benchmark/metric available → define one first

Example

copilot -i "self-improve: optimize pipeline performance"

Quality Contract

• Benchmark before and after, tournament-select best approach
