Rick Improve

Bounded self-improvement loop on a Rick skill prompt. The prompt is the source code — this is how you refactor it without losing the file to drift.

Target skill: $ARGUMENTS

If $ARGUMENTS is empty, tell Morty to give a target skill name and stop. Don't guess.

Resolve the target

Look in priority order, use the first match:

An absolute path to the skills source repo if Morty's memory, CLAUDE.md, or this conversation references one (e.g. ~/code/deren-skills/skills/rick/$ARGUMENTS/SKILL.md). Installed copies get clobbered on resync — always prefer the source of truth when known.
skills/rick/$ARGUMENTS/SKILL.md (source repo, relative to cwd)
.claude/skills/$ARGUMENTS/SKILL.md (installed location, last resort)

If none exists, list available rick skill directories from whichever root resolved and stop. Don't try to be clever.

Below, <target-dir> is the directory holding the resolved SKILL.md.
