Analyze the conversation to detect which skill is running, reflect on what went wrong, propose specific fixes, get user approval, then apply changes with optional commit.
<quick_start>
-
Detect skill from conversation context (invocation messages, recent SKILL.md references)
-
Reflect on what went wrong and how you discovered the fix
-
Present proposed changes with before/after diffs
-
Get approval before making any edits
-
Apply changes and optionally commit
</quick_start>
-
Look for skill invocation messages
-
Check which SKILL.md was recently referenced
-
Examine current task context
Set: SKILL_NAME=[skill-name] and SKILL_DIR=./skills/$SKILL_NAME
If unclear, ask the user. </step_1>
<step_2 name="reflection_and_analysis"> Focus on $ARGUMENTS if provided, otherwise analyze broader context.
Determine:
-
What was wrong: Quote specific sections from SKILL.md that are incorrect
-
Discovery method: Context7, error messages, trial and error, documentation lookup
-
Root cause: Outdated API, incorrect parameters, wrong endpoint, missing context
-
Scope of impact: Single section or multiple? Related files affected?
-
Proposed fix: Which files, which sections, before/after for each </step_2>
<step_3 name="scan_affected_files">
ls -la $SKILL_DIR/ ls -la $SKILL_DIR/references/ 2>/dev/null ls -la $SKILL_DIR/scripts/ 2>/dev/null
</step_3>
<step_4 name="present_proposed_changes"> Present changes in this format:
Skill being healed: [skill-name] Issue discovered: [1-2 sentence summary] Root cause: [brief explanation]
Files to be modified:
- SKILL.md
- references/[file].md
- scripts/[file].py
Proposed changes:
Change 1: SKILL.md - [Section name]
Location: Line [X] in SKILL.md
Current (incorrect):
[exact text from current file]
Corrected:
[new text]
Reason: [why this fixes the issue]
[repeat for each change across all files]
Impact assessment:
- Affects: [authentication/API endpoints/parameters/examples/etc.]
Verification: These changes will prevent: [specific error that prompted this]
</step_4>
<step_5 name="request_approval">
Should I apply these changes?
- Yes, apply and commit all changes
- Apply but don't commit (let me review first)
- Revise the changes (I'll provide feedback)
- Cancel (don't make changes)
Choose (1-4):
Wait for user response. Do not proceed without approval. </step_5>
<step_6 name="apply_changes"> Only after approval (option 1 or 2):
-
Use Edit tool for each correction across all files
-
Read back modified sections to verify
-
If option 1, commit with structured message showing what was healed
-
Confirm completion with file list </step_6>
<success_criteria>
-
Skill correctly detected from conversation context
-
All incorrect sections identified with before/after
-
User approved changes before application
-
All edits applied across SKILL.md and related files
-
Changes verified by reading back
-
Commit created if user chose option 1
-
Completion confirmed with file list </success_criteria>
-
Read back each modified section to confirm changes applied
-
Ensure cross-file consistency (SKILL.md examples match references/)
-
Verify git commit created if option 1 was selected
-
Check no unintended files were modified
