Auto-Improve Skill

Automated development workflow with task board management, code quality checks, and continuous improvement.

Features

• Task Board Management: Read and update TASKS.md for task tracking
• Multi-language Support: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, and more
• Code Quality: Syntax checking, static analysis, security scanning
• Deployment Testing: Automated testing before commit
• Continuous Improvement: Learn from each iteration
• Error Handling: Automatic retry mechanism for API rate limits

Usage

This skill provides a comprehensive automated development workflow that runs every 30 minutes (configurable). It's perfect for:

• Auto-coding projects
• Continuous development
• Task-driven development
• Quality assurance automation

Workflow

1. Preparation: Git sync and branch management
2. Task Selection: Read TASKS.md and pick next task
3. Implementation: Code the solution
4. Quality Check: Syntax, linting, security
5. Deployment Test: Test before commit
6. Commit & Push: Version control
7. Task Update: Mark task as complete
8. Report: Generate completion report

Error Handling

This skill includes robust error handling for API rate limits and other transient errors:

Automatic Retry Mechanism

## 错误处理机制
如果遇到 API 速率限制或其他错误：
1. 等待 5 分钟后重试
2. 如果重试失败，等待 15 分钟后再次重试
3. 如果仍然失败，记录错误并跳过本次执行
4. 不要因为错误而停止整个任务

Best Practices

• Extended Timeout: Use 30-minute timeout for complex tasks
• Error Logging: Record errors for debugging
• Graceful Degradation: Skip failed runs, continue on next schedule
• No Stop on Error: Keep the task running even if individual runs fail

Configuration

The workflow can be customized by modifying the task prompt in your cron job. Key configurable areas:

• Project path: Where your code lives
• Task board: TASKS.md location and format
• Quality tools: Which linters/analyzers to use
• Testing strategy: How to test before commit
• Git settings: Remote URLs, branch strategy
• Error handling: Retry logic and timeout settings

Task Board Format

Create a TASKS.md file in your project root:

# Project Tasks

## P0 - MVP (Must Have)
- [ ] User authentication system
- [ ] Database models
- [ ] API endpoints

## P1 - Important
- [ ] Input validation
- [ ] Error handling
- [ ] Logging system

## P2 - Nice to Have
- [ ] Performance optimization
- [ ] Documentation
- [ ] Unit tests

Best Practices

1. Always test before commit - Deploy and verify functionality
2. Small, focused tasks - Each task should be completable in one cycle
3. Clear task descriptions - Include enough detail for implementation
4. Regular reviews - Periodically review and update task priorities
5. Backup strategy - Keep backups of important configurations
6. Error handling - Implement retry logic for transient failures

Security Notes

• Store sensitive credentials securely (not in TASKS.md)
• Use environment variables for configuration
• Regular security scans with bandit/safety
• Keep dependencies updated

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Git authentication failed: Check remote URL and credentials
2. Task not found: Verify TASKS.md format and location
3. Quality checks fail: Review linter output and fix issues
4. Deployment test fails: Check service dependencies and ports
5. API rate limit: Implement retry logic with exponential backoff

Debug Mode

Add verbose logging to your workflow for debugging:

set -x  # Enable debug output

Contributing
