name: recursive-skill-failure-fix-loop description: Every time your skill fails on a real task, feed the failure back and have Claude update the skill.md so it never breaks that way again.

Recursive Skill Failure-Fix Loop

What This Does

The creator argues you should never write skills by hand or install blindly. Instead you should manually walk through the workflow, produce a successful run, then tell Claude to create the skill from that context. When the skill later fails, ask Claude for the exact error, feed it back, and instruct it to update the skill.md so the failure is impossible next time.

What You Get

• Manual first-run workflow before skill creation
• failure-capture prompt (what error did you get?)
• skill.md self-update after each failure
• five-loop refinement pattern
• deliberately avoids downloading random skills

Customize

• workflow_first: force a successful manual run before skill creation
• failure_capture: how to prompt for the raw error
• update_scope: only skill.md or references too
• loop_target: number of iterations before publishing
• commit_each_fix: git commit per improvement

Sample Output

The creator's YouTube-report skill pulls Notion, Dub, YouTube Analytics, Twitter, and eight other sources flawlessly after five recursive loops of failure-then-fix.

Target Audience

Skill authors who care about production reliability over shipping speed
