Optimize Loop

Q: What is a Claude Code skill and how does the Optimize Loop skill fit in?

A Claude Code skill is a SKILL.md file that lives under ~/.claude/skills/<name>/ and tells the Claude Code CLI agent how to perform a specific task (instructions, prompts, allowed tools). Skills are auto-discovered at session start. Optimize Loop is one of 67,000+ skills indexed in the open ClaudSkills catalog, classified under the General category.

Autonomous metric-optimization loop — run N bounded iterations against a mechanical metric, commit each attempt, auto keep/discard on the number, revert regressions. Use to improve a measurable metric: test coverage, bundle size, lint/type-error count, p95 latency, LOC. Triggers: 'drive coverage up', 'reduce bundle size', 'get lint errors to zero', 'optimize <metric> over iterations', 'keep/discard loop'.

How Optimize Loop fits the catalog

Optimize Loop sits in the General category under the general-misc sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.

Is Optimize Loop safe to install?

A free static scan flagged 2 of ten categories (filesystem, supply-chain), including a high-severity pattern. Read the security scan below before installing — a pattern inside a code fence is weighted as an example, not an instruction.

Installing & verifying

Installing Optimize Loop writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/optimize-loop/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — optimize-loop should appear by name.

What Optimize Loop needs to run

Worked code: 3 copy-paste code blocks in the body.
Depth: ~1,027 words, typical mid-range depth.

When to reach for it

There are 10 related skills in General — a two-minute scan of the alternatives usually confirms whether Optimize Loop is the right pick.

Install via the ClaudSkills desktop app (one click) or copy SKILL.md from the source repository to ~/.claude/skills/optimize-loop/SKILL.md and restart Claude Code. Both flows are detailed at claudskills.com/install/.

What does the Optimize Loop skill do?

Is this skill free to install?

Yes. ClaudSkills is an open registry — every skill keeps its source repository's license, and manual install via copy is free. ClaudSkills Pro ($9/mo, $79/yr, or $149 one-time) adds one-click install via the desktop app and a multi-signal Quality Score.

When should I use the Optimize Loop skill?

Use Optimize Loop when your Claude Code task falls under the General category — specifically in the general misc area. Claude Code auto-discovers installed skills and invokes the right one based on the task description, so you can also ask Claude directly (e.g. "use Optimize Loop" or describe the task and let Claude pick).
