Iterative code refinement through plan → code → evaluate → refine cycles. Runs lint checks (ruff), tests (pytest), and structured self-evaluation each cycle, then diagnoses failures and refines. Decomposes complex tasks into sequential phases, iterates up to 3 times per phase (10 total). Use when: the main agent delegates a code task with 'MODE: MORE_EFFORT', the user selects 'More Effort' code generation mode, or the task explicitly requests iterative refinement for higher code quality. Do NOT use for single-pass code generation (Lite mode), experiment pipeline orchestration (use experiment-p
Why this score
This repo hosts 10 skills, so its 481 stars are split between them (about 48 each) for scoring.
Popularity score: 56/100 from public GitHub signals only. It shows how widely used and maintained this is, not how well it works. Not included yet: the fake-star check. The security scan is shown separately and doesn't change the score. How we rank
Security
Scanned Oct 21, 2026 at commit 9a9f8cfb3a7f, with Cisco's open-source skill-scanner.
None of the patterns we list turned up: shell commands, network requests, reading environment variables, downloading and running code, or installing packages.
A scan lists patterns in the code. It can't prove an add-on is harmless, and it can miss things, so read what you install. How we scan
