Disciplined, measurable iteration for a substantial refinement or investigation: loop against verifiable pass/fail conditions, fan work out to subagents, and keep the main context lean. Use when improving something measurable over repeated cycles (tuning a metric or detector, refactoring against a regression bar), chasing a surprising or suspicious number, or driving a long multi-step task where delegation and context discipline matter. Not for one-shot edits or quick lookups that don't warrant…

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'iterative-refinement' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'iterative-refinement' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named iterative-refinement already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/sammcj/agentic-coding' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '09c80d352bc3a099bf654f433edffdb30af021a7' -- 'Skills_disabled/iterative-refinement' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'Skills_disabled/iterative-refinement' ~/.agents/skills/'iterative-refinement' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'iterative-refinement' ~/.claude/skills/'iterative-refinement' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
