+name: skill-optimizer
+description: Improve, debug, benchmark, or refactor an existing Agent Skill from conversation evidence, execution traces, user corrections, eval failures, or target skill files. Use this skill whenever the user asks to optimize, harden, generalize, validate, benchmark, package, or turn observed behavior into durable skill changes. Produces evidence-based diagnosis, reviewable patches, trigger evals, validation cases, and safe next-run behavior; do not use it to perform the target skill's normal task.
+---
+
+# Skill Optimizer
+
+## Mission
+
+Turn real usage evidence into safer, more reliable, easier-to-trigger, and easier-to-evaluate Agent Skills.
+
+This is a meta-skill. It does not merely rewrite prose. It analyzes the fit between a skill's purpose, trigger description, inputs, procedure, tools, outputs, risks, examples, and evaluations, then proposes small reviewable changes.
+
+## Use when
+
+Use this skill when the user asks to improve, optimize, debug, refactor, benchmark, validate, generalize, harden, package, or document another skill. Also use it when the user says the current conversation should be captured into a skill, or that a previous skill run exposed something that should happen differently next time.
+
+Do not use this skill for ordinary task execution. If the user asks to run the release skill, do not optimize the release skill unless they ask to improve it.
+
+## Modes
+
+- Diagnose: identify what should change without writing a patch.
+- Patch: produce a reviewable diff, replacement section, or revised `SKILL.md`.
+- Validate: create validation cases and failure-mode checks.
+- Benchmark: compare the old and new skill using task cases, trigger cases, and deterministic rubrics.
+- Package: organize the skill folder, references, scripts, examples, changelog, and README.
+
+## Required inputs
+
+Infer these from the conversation before asking follow-up questions:
+
+- target skill name and purpose
+- current `SKILL.md` and supporting files, if available
+- execution evidence: user request, tool use, output, corrections, mistakes, delays, or surprises
+- environment: chat, code agent, workspace agent, API, or another harness
+- intended optimization mode
+- risk level and write-action authority
+- sequencing constraints when optimization is requested after another live task
+
+If the target skill file is unavailable, do not fabricate an exact diff. Produce an inferred improvement plan, draft replacement sections, validation cases, and assumptions.
+
+If the user asks to optimize a skill after completing another concrete task, finish and verify the concrete task first unless they explicitly ask to pause it. Then optimize from the observed evidence. Do not interrupt the user's primary workflow just because this skill is mentioned.
+
+## Universal optimization lens
+
+Analyze every target skill through these lenses:
+
+1. Purpose and scope: what job the skill owns, who it serves, and what it must not do.
+2. Triggering and boundaries: description quality, should-trigger cases, near-negative cases, competing skills, and under/over-triggering risks.
+3. Inputs and assumptions: required inputs, source of truth, missing-data behavior, units, locale, time horizon, and user preferences.
+4. Workflow and decision rules: ordered steps, branch conditions, heuristics, stop conditions, escalation paths, and exception handling.
+5. Tools and authority: required tools, permissions, external writes, approvals, dry runs, and exact operations.
+6. Outputs and interfaces: templates, file formats, citations, links, machine-readable fields, handoff artifacts, and user-facing summaries.
+7. Quality bar and evaluation: success criteria, deterministic verifiers, examples, regression tests, trigger evals, and human review points.
+8. Safety, privacy, and policy: sensitive data, regulated advice, consent, audit trail, access control, retention, and harmful misuse.
+9. Failure and recovery: blocked states, retries, rollback, partial completion, cleanup, and user-visible status.
+10. Maintainability: concise instructions, bundled resources, changelog, version notes, known limitations, and portability across harnesses.
+
+Use `references/universal-optimization-lens.md` when a deeper diagnosis is needed.
+
+## Evidence rules
+
+Treat the current conversation as evidence, not as a script to memorize.
+
+For each important observation, capture:
+
+- Evidence: what happened or what the user corrected.
+- Root cause: why the current skill allowed it.
+- Durable change: what should be added, removed, or clarified.
+- Classification: one-off instruction, reusable workflow rule, user/team preference, conflicting instruction, or open question.
+
+Do not overfit one unusual task into a permanent rule. Convert it into a reusable rule only when it improves future behavior.
+
+Treat strong user corrections as high-signal evidence. Phrases like "no", "not this", "wrong direction", "first principles", or a correction from a component-level answer to a user-scenario answer usually indicate a framing failure, not just a missing detail. Capture:
+
+- the wrong abstraction level the previous run optimized for
+- the user's intended source of truth
+- what should have been downstream evidence rather than the starting point
+- how the target skill should avoid the same drift next time
+
+When the evidence comes from a multi-step execution, include the verification results, not only the final prose. A durable skill change should be grounded in what was requested, what was attempted, what was corrected, and what was ultimately validated.
+
+## Framing and abstraction checks
+
+Before proposing a patch, ask whether the target skill optimized the right object:
+
+- User outcome vs. UI surface: a feature or component may be only a view over a deeper workflow.
+- Scenario spine vs. fixture rows: realistic data should come from causal user activity, not isolated screen states.
+- Source of truth vs. derivative signal: logs, runs, issues, costs, or decisions may be primary; dashboards, calendars, and summaries may be downstream.
+- Product intent vs. local convenience: read available product, requirement, or reference docs before encoding a domain rule from one conversation.
+
+If the observed failure is "the answer satisfied the visible surface but missed the user's real scenario", make that explicit in the diagnosis and add a workflow guard to the target skill rather than only adding more examples.
+
+## Patch rules
+
+Prefer small, auditable patches over broad rewrites. Preserve the target skill's identity, useful examples, and safety constraints.
+
+A patch may change:
+
+- frontmatter description and trigger boundaries
+- required inputs and assumptions
+- workflow steps and decision rules
+- output templates
+- safety and approval requirements
+- failure handling
+- examples and references
+- validation cases and benchmark tasks
+
+Never silently weaken safety requirements. For write actions, publishing, financial actions, medical or legal consequences, hiring decisions, external communication, deletion, deployment, migration, or permissions changes, require explicit authority unless the target skill already has a clear safe policy.
+
+## Trigger optimization
+
+The frontmatter description is the primary discovery signal. After improving a skill, evaluate whether the description should change.
+
+Create trigger evals with:
+
+- realistic should-trigger queries
+- realistic should-not-trigger near misses
+- ambiguous cases where another skill might be more appropriate
+- casual phrasing, typos, file paths, role context, and domain language
+
+Optimize for accurate triggering, not maximum triggering.
+
+## Domain adaptation
+
+This skill is domain-general. Do not bake one domain's checklist into the core instructions.
+
+When the domain matters, attach or consult a short domain adapter. A good adapter names:
+
+- source of truth
+- required inputs
+- review owner
+- consequential actions and approval gates
+- privacy, confidentiality, or consent constraints
+- output template
+- validation cases and deterministic checks
+- must-not behaviors
+
+Use the transcript to extract observed domain markers, but do not encode hidden rubric terms or unrelated best practices as mandatory rules. Keep adapters modular so the optimizer can handle software, healthcare operations, law, finance, education, research, HR, customer support, operations, creative work, personal productivity, and other workflows.
+
+Use `references/domain-adapter-patterns.md` when building or selecting an adapter. If a matching file exists under `references/adapters/`, consult it as a compact checklist rather than copying it wholesale into the target skill.
+
+## Validation format
+
+Every meaningful behavior change needs at least one validation case.
+
+Use this format:
+
+```md
+### Case: <name>
+
+Input:
+...
+
+Expected behavior:
+...
+
+Must not:
+...
+```
+
+Include at least one normal case, one edge case, and one regression case when the change could break prior behavior.
+
+## Benchmark reporting
+
+When running evals, separate three scores:
+
+1. Trigger accuracy: whether Skill Optimizer should activate.
+2. Patch-quality coverage: whether the proposed change includes evidence, scope classification, patch, safety, outputs, and validation.
+3. Downstream transfer: whether the optimized target skill actually improves on its own task suite.
+
+Label synthetic verifier scores as synthetic. Do not report them as official benchmark or leaderboard results.
+
+## Packaging expectations
+
+When packaging a skill or skill optimizer project, include:
+
+- `SKILL.md` and supporting references
+- README with purpose, installation, usage, eval, limitations, and license
+- changelog and version note
+- examples of target skills and optimization outputs
+- eval cases or a lightweight benchmark harness when available
+- a distributable zip that contains exactly one skill folder for installation
+
+## Final response contract
+
+Return these sections unless the user asks for a narrower result:
+
+1. Target skill and optimization mode
+2. Diagnosis summary
+3. Evidence ledger
+4. Improvement categories
+5. Proposed patch or revised skill draft
+6. Trigger eval suggestions when discovery may change
+7. Validation cases
+8. Benchmark or eval result, if run
+9. Assumptions, conflicts, and unresolved questions
+
+When direct file editing is available and the user explicitly requested edits, apply the patch. Otherwise present a reviewable patch.
+
+When optimization is part of a larger completed workflow, keep the final response proportional: report the primary task result first, then the skill changes and validation. Do not force the full nine-section contract if it would obscure the work the user was actually trying to finish.
+
+## Quality bar
+
+A successful optimization makes the next run of the target skill more predictable, easier to trigger correctly, safer around irreversible actions, clearer in output, and easier to verify.

+# Domain Adapter Patterns
+
+A domain adapter is a small reference file used by Skill Optimizer when a target skill belongs to a specialized area. It prevents the core optimizer from becoming a giant checklist.
+
+## Adapter shape
+
+```md
+# <Domain> Skill Optimization Adapter
+
+## Sources of truth
+- ...
+
+## Required inputs
+- ...
+
+## Risk gates
+- ...
+
+## Output templates
+- ...
+
+## Validation cases
+- ...
+
+## Must not
+- ...
+```
+
+## Generic adapter prompts
+
+Ask these questions for any domain:
+
+- What source of truth beats model memory?
+- What irreversible or consequential actions exist?
+- What review owner is required?
+- What private or sensitive information appears?
+- What artifact is handed to the next person or system?
+- What deterministic checks can verify the work?
+
+## Adapter selection rule
+
+Use an adapter only when it is relevant to the target skill. Do not force every adapter item into the target skill. Convert adapter guidance into a patch only when the current evidence or target skill scope supports it.
+
+## Example domain hooks
+
+Healthcare operations: clinician review, patient safety, PHI minimization, source-of-truth records, no autonomous diagnosis or treatment.
+
+Legal and compliance: jurisdiction, authority, citations, privilege, legal hold, attorney review, no unauthorized legal advice.
+
+Finance and accounting: audit trail, source documents, reconciliation, materiality, approvals, no unauthorized trades or filings.
+
+Education and training: learning objective, accessibility, age appropriateness, rubric, academic integrity, standards alignment.
+
+Research: primary sources, citation provenance, reproducibility, data extraction schema, uncertainty, conflict of evidence.
+
+HR and people operations: bias mitigation, confidentiality, documented criteria, employment-law review, human decision owner.
+
+Customer support and sales: policy source, tone, escalation, refund/contract authority, CRM update approval, no overpromising.
+
+Operations and supply chain: constraints, SLAs, safety, vendor risk, inventory assumptions, escalation and contingency plan.
+
+Creative and brand: brand voice, rights and licenses, review owner, channel constraints, localization, accessibility.
+
+Document and data processing: schema, extraction confidence, PII redaction, traceability, validation sample, error handling.
+
+Software and agent tooling: tests, CI, secrets, prompt injection, rollback, deployment approvals, deterministic scripts.

+# Evaluation Method
+
+Skill Optimizer should be evaluated at three levels:
+
+1. Trigger eval: should the optimizer skill activate for realistic optimization requests and avoid unrelated tasks?
+2. Patch-quality eval: does it produce an evidence-based, safe, reviewable, useful improvement to a target skill?
+3. Downstream-task eval: after the target skill is patched, does the target skill perform better on its own tasks?
+
+A SkillsBench-style local eval can compare:
+
+- `without_skill`: a naive assistant improvement
+- `previous_skill`: the last optimizer version
+- `candidate_skill`: the optimized version
+
+Each task should include a target skill, a transcript or failure observation, expected durable changes, and a deterministic verifier.
+
+Do not treat synthetic verifier scores as official model pass rates. Use them to catch regressions and blind spots before running full agent-harness evals.
