# Kaizen Engine — Recursive Improvement Loop Orchestrator
## 1. Overview
The kaizen engine runs recursive improvement loops against measurable KPIs. It reads a **profile** (PROFILE.md) that defines what to improve, how to measure, and what to mutate, then executes iterative cycles until convergence, budget exhaustion, or user interrupt.
**Architecture:** Engine + Profiles. The engine is generic; profiles are domain-specific.
**Connector requirement:** This skill requires **~~sequential-thinking** for loop orchestration. Without it, the skill cannot function. Direct the user to the README for setup instructions.
**Storage:** Audit logs are written to `.kaizen/runs/` at the improvement target location:
- Project-level improvements: `.kaizen/` at project root
- User-level improvements: `~/.kaizen/`

## 2. Pipeline
### Step 0 — Profile Resolution
Determine which profile to load:
1. If the user specifies a profile name (e.g., `claude-code-usage`), look for it in:
- `profiles/{name}/PROFILE.md` within this plugin directory
- A custom path provided by the user
2. If no profile is specified, present the available bundled profiles and ask the user to choose:
- **claude-code-usage** — analyze and improve Claude Code tool/skill usage patterns
- **code-refactoring** — recursively improve code quality metrics
- **process-improvement** — design and run kaizen loops for business processes
3. Parse the PROFILE.md YAML frontmatter to extract configuration:
- `na
