How it fires

How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.

  • Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

Skill Iter Tune

Iterative skill refinement through execute-evaluate-improve feedback loops. Each iteration runs the skill via Claude, evaluates output via Agy, and applies improvements via Agent.

Chain Mode Extension

Chain Mode (execution_mode === "chain"):

Phase 2 runs per-skill in chain_order:
  Skill A → maestro delegate → artifacts/skill-A/
       ↓ (artifacts as input)
  Skill B → maestro delegate → artifacts/skill-B/
       ↓ (artifacts as input)
  Skill C → maestro delegate → artifacts/skill-C/

Phase 3 evaluates entire chain output + per-skill scores
Phase 4 improves weakest skill(s) in chain

Key Design Principles

1. **Iteration Loop**: Phases 2-3-4 repeat until quality threshold, max iterations, or convergence 2. **Two-Tool Pipeline**: Claude (write/execute) + Agy (analyze/evaluate) = complementary perspectives 3. **Pure Orchestrator**: SKILL.md coordinates only — execution detail lives in phase files 4. **Progressive Phase Loading**: Phase docs read only when that phase executes 5. **Skill Versioning**: Each iteration snapshots skill state before execution 6. **Convergence Detection**: Stop early if score stalls (no improvement in 2 consecutive iterations)

Interactive Preference Collection

// ★ Auto mode detection
const autoYes = /\b(-y|--yes)\b/.test($ARGUMENTS)

if (autoYes) {
  workflowPreferences = {
    autoYes: true,
    maxIterations: 5,
    qualityThreshold: 80,
    executionMode: 'single'
  }
} else {
  const prefResponse = AskUserQuestion({
    questions: [
      {
        question: "选择迭代调优配置:",
        header: "Tune Config",
        multiSelect: false,
        options: [
          { label: "Quick (3 iter, 70)", description: "快速迭代,适合小幅改进" },
          { label: "Standard (5 iter, 80) (Recommended)", description: "平衡方案,适合多数场景" },
          { label: "Thorough (8 iter, 90)", description: "深度优化,适合生产级 skill" }
        ]
      }
    ]
  })

  const configMap = {
    "Quick": { maxIterations: 3, qualityThreshold: 70 },
    "Standard": { maxIterations: 5, qualityThreshold: 80 },
    "Thorough": { maxIterations: 8, qualityThreshold: 90 }
  }
  const selected = Object.keys(configMap).find(k =>
    prefResponse["Tune Config"].startsWith(k)
  ) || "Standard"
  workflowPreferences = { autoYes: false, ...configMap[selected] }

  // ★ Mode selection: chain vs single
  const modeResponse = AskUserQuestion({
    questions: [{
      question: "选择调优模式:",
      header: "Tune Mode",
      multiSelect: false,
      options: [
        { label: "Single Skill (Recommended)", description: "独立调优每个 skill,适合单一 skill 优化" },
        { label: "Skill Chain", description: "按链序执行,前一个 skill 的产出作为后一个的输入" }
      ]
    }]
  });
  workflowPreferences.executionMode = modeResponse["Tune Mode"].startsWith("Skill Chain")
    ? "chain" : "single";
}

Input Processing

$ARGUMENTS → Parse:
  ├─ Skill path(s): first arg, comma-separated for multiple
  │   e.g., ".claude/skills/my-skill" or "my-skill" (auto-prefixed)
  │   Chain mode: order preserved as chain_order
  ├─ Test scenario: --scenario "description" or remaining text
  └─ Flags: --max-iterations=N, --threshold=N, -y/--yes

Execution Flow

> **⚠️ COMPACT DIRECTIVE**: Context compression MUST check TodoWrite phase status. > The phase currently marked `in_progress` is the active execution phase — preserve its FULL content. > Only compress phases marked `completed` or `pending`.

Phase 1: Setup (one-time)

Read and execute: `Ref: phases/01-setup.md`

  • Parse skill paths, validate existence
  • Create workspace at `{run_dir}/outputs/skill-iter-tune-{ts}/`
  • Backup original skill files
  • Initialize iteration-state.json

Output: `workDir`, `targetSkills[]`, `testScenario`, initialized state

Iteration Loop

// Orchestrator iteration loop
while (true) {
  // Increment iteration
  state.current_iteration++;
  state.iterations.push({
    round: state.current_iteration,
    status: 'pending',
    execution: null,
    evaluation: null,
    improvement: null
  });

  // Update TodoWrite
  TaskUpdate(iterationTask, {
    subject: `Iteration ${state.current_iteration}/${state.max_iterations}`,
    status: 'in_progress',
    activeFo
