Night Market Skill — ported from claude-night-market/sanctum. For the full experience with agents, hooks, and commands, install the Claude Code plugin.

Workflow Improvement

When To Use

Use this skill after running a command or completing a short session slice where execution felt slow, confusing, repetitive, or fragile.

This skill focuses on improving the workflow assets (skills, agents, commands, hooks) that were involved, not on feature work itself.

When NOT To Use

• Implementing features - focus on feature work first

Required TodoWrite Items

1. fix-workflow:context-gathered
2. fix-workflow:slice-captured
3. fix-workflow:workflow-recreated
4. fix-workflow:improvements-generated
5. fix-workflow:plan-agreed
6. fix-workflow:changes-implemented
7. fix-workflow:validated
8. fix-workflow:lesson-stored

Step 0: Gather Improvement Context (context-gathered)

Before analyzing the current session, gather existing improvement data:

0.1: Check Skill Execution History

Query memory-palace logs for recent performance issues:

# Recent failures (last 7 days)
/skill-logs --failures-only --last 7d

# Performance metrics for involved plugins
pensive:skill-review --plugin sanctum --recommendations

Capture:

• Skills with stability_gap > 0.3
• Recent failure patterns and error messages
• Performance degradation trends

0.2: Query Knowledge Base

Search for previously captured workflow lessons:

# If memory-palace review-chamber is available
/review-room search "workflow improvement" --room lessons
/review-room search "efficiency" --room patterns

Look for:

• Similar workflow issues from past PRs
• Recurring patterns in workflow failures
• Architectural decisions affecting workflows

0.3: Check Git History

Identify recurring issues through commit patterns:

git log --oneline --grep="improve\|fix\|optimize" --since="30 days ago" \
  -- plugins/sanctum/skills/ plugins/sanctum/commands/

# Look for unstable components (frequent fixes)
git log --oneline --since="30 days ago" --follow \
  -- plugins/sanctum/skills/workflow-improvement/

Extract:

• Components with frequent bug fixes (instability signals)
• Patterns in improvement commit messages
• Recurring issue themes

Output Format:

## Improvement Context

### Skill Performance Issues
- sanctum:workflow-improvement: stability_gap 0.35 (5 failures in 7 days)
- Error pattern: "Missing validation in Step 2"

### Knowledge Base Lessons
- PR #42 lesson: "Workflow validation should happen at start, not end"
- Pattern: Early validation reduces iteration time by 30%

### Git History Insights
- workflow-improvement skill: 8 commits in 30 days (instability signal)
- Recurring theme: "Add missing prerequisite checks"
