1# /improve — Autonomous Quality Engine

3## Orientation
4 
5**Use when:** Scoring a target against a rubric and iteratively improving it. Rubric required at `.planning/rubrics/{target}.md` (Phase 0 creates one if missing).
6 
7**Don't use when:** Refactoring without a rubric (use `/refactor`), one-time code review (use `/review`), or debugging a specific bug (use `/systematic-debugging`).

9## Invocation
10 
11```
12/improve {target}            # Loop until plateau or all axes >= 8.0
13/improve {target} --n=3      # Run exactly N loops then stop
14/improve {target} --axis={name}  # Force-attack a specific axis (skips scoring)
15/improve {target} --score-only   # Score and report, no attack
16/improve {target} --continue     # Resume from campaign state (used by daemon)
17/improve citadel             # Targets Citadel itself
18```
19 
20`target` is a slug that maps to `.planning/rubrics/{target}.md`.
21If no rubric exists, run Phase 0 first.
22 
23## Campaign Mode
24 
25When invoked with `--n` or `--continue`, improve operates in **campaign mode** and maintains a campaign file that daemon can attach to.
26 
27**Campaign file:** `.planning/campaigns/improve-{target}.md`, created automatically on the first invocation with `--n` (full template: docs/QUALITY_LOOPS.md#campaign-file-template).
