Configuring and reviewing Self-improvement
# Configuring and reviewing Self-improvement {/* VISUAL: The Self-improvement pull request list, or a Benchmarks suite run -- this section is text-only today. */} Turn on **Self-improvement** for each Scorer whose failures you want investigated automatically. A failure is a score below the Scorer's pass threshold. The scheduled check starts a Self-improvement run after an agent has 25 unreviewed failures, or when its oldest unreviewed failure is seven days old. It groups the failures for each agent into a follow-up run that proposes a fix. To run the check without waiting for the scheduled threshold, click **Run now** on the factory dashboard's **Self-improvement** page. An ad hoc run can include an agent with one unreviewed failure. You cannot choose which agents or failures it processes. A follow-up run can propose changes to application code. It can also improve the factory itself: when you manage your factory as [definitions as code](/factories/factory-as-code/), its prompts, skills, and configuration are version-controlled files, so a follow-up run can open a pull request against the factory definition the same way it would against application code. Nothing is adopted without your review. The factory dashboard's **Self-improvement** page lists the pull requests these follow-up runs open. Each pull request includes a **Regressions addressed** section that links the failing runs and Scorer results behind it, so you can trace the change back to its evidence. ## Related pages * [Measure and improve a factory](/factories/measure-and-improve/) - Read dashboard metrics and run a practical improvement loop. * [Configuring Scorers](/factories/measure-and-improve/scorers/) - Define the criteria whose failures Self-improvement investigates. * [Benchmarking factory agent configurations](/factories/benchmarks/) - Compare model and runner configurations on the same tasks.Tell me about this feature: https://docs.warp.dev/factories/measure-and-improve/self-improvement/Turn on Self-improvement for a Scorer to turn its repeated failures into follow-up pull requests you review.
