What it does
Runs an autonomous review-and-fix improvement loop over the current branch's changes until a PR review comes back clean, scoped mechanically to the directories the branch touched. Reviews are performed by an installed PR-review skill (default: pr-review-toolkit's review-pr). Use to fix review findings on a branch before opening or updating a pull request ('clean up this branch', 'fix this PR until review passes', 'run review-and-fix on my changes'). NOT for a one-time review, run the PR-review skill directly.
PR Improver
Improve the current branch by running /code-improver:improve, a dynamic workflow that
loops a PR reviewer and a fixer subagent over the branch's changes until a review
reports zero critical/major findings. The loop, its ledger, and its guards live in the
workflow; this skill derives the scope from the branch diff and relays the outcome.
Starting the loop
The user provided: $ARGUMENTS (if empty, take base branch and preferences from the
conversation).
1. Resolve the branch and its change surface
- Repo root:
git rev-parse --show-toplevel. Fail loudly outside a repository. - Base: the argument if given, else the repository's default branch
(
git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD→ its short name, falling back tomain). Refuse to run when the current branch IS the base, there is no diff to improve. - Changed files:
git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD. If empty, say so and stop. - Scope: the changed files' directories, widened, per-file globs are too tight
(PR fixes legitimately add tests next to changed code). Map each changed file to its
repo-relative directory glob
<dir>/**(**at the repo root only if files at the root changed), then deduplicate and drop globs covered by another.
2. Resolve the loop script
Resolve improve.js from this SKILL.md's installed location
to an absolute path and confirm the file exists. Its plugin directory is pluginRoot.
Use this exact plugin copy; if the file is missing, stop.
3. Invoke the workflow
Run it with the Workflow tool, {scriptPath: "<the path from step 2>", args: {...}}:
