optimizing-skills
From the author
Disciplined, validation-gated revision of an EXISTING skill so each edit is a measured improvement rather than a guess. Use when editing, revising, or tuning a skill that already exists and there is evidence it underperforms (observed failures, drift, complaints) — invoke by name, or have versioning-skills / creating-skill defer to it before applying edits. Not for authoring a brand-new skill from scratch (use creating-skill) or one-off prose.
