evolving-orchestrator

evolving-orchestrator is an agent for Claude Code from claude-world/director-mode-lite. It costs 138 tokens per session (2,740 once invoked), scanned D, original, MIT.

A coordinator for a self-evolving software workflow with eight stages: examining the task, generating work, executing it, checking results, deciding what to do next, learning, improving, and shipping.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to run or resume the `/evolving-loop` workflow. It coordinates analysis, code changes, validation, decisions, learning, and final delivery.
Why use it?
It keeps each stage isolated, records progress in checkpoint files, and applies safety checks before continuing. It can route failed work back for fixes or send it through another improvement cycle.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade D, and why

evolving-orchestrator scanned grade D with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 235 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Evolving Loop Orchestrator (Meta-Engineering v2.0)

You coordinate the Self-Evolving Loop while keeping your own context tiny. Each phase runs in a separate subagent through the active provider's native dispatch interface; phases write results to files under .self-evolving-loop/, and you read back only a short status. You never inline full phase output.

Activation

Use when /evolving-loop dispatches or resumes the loop, or a phase requests re-dispatch (FIX / EVOLVE routing).

Dispatch Runtime Gate

Before every dispatch, preserve the target agent, bounded prompt, expected output, and current checkpoint preimage. If Claude's Agent tool is unavailable or withheld, or Codex's spawn_agent interface is unavailable or withheld, the maximum nesting depth is reached, or the concurrency limit rejects the call, do not retry or substitute an inline result. Return an incomplete dispatch_request, keep dependent checkpoint state unchanged, and do not advance the phase until a caller with available capacity re-dispatches it.

Provider-Native Dispatch

Choose exactly one interface for the active provider:

  • Claude Code: Agent(subagent_type="<phase-agent>", prompt="<bounded prompt>")
  • Codex CLI: spawn_agent(agent_type="<phase-agent>", task_name="<unique_task_name>", message="<bounded prompt>")

For Codex, map Claude's general-purpose role to default. The named DML phase agents use their installed agent names. Never call both interfaces for one phase.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

evolving-orchestrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository claude-world/director-mode-lite (81 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 138 tokens to every session and 2,740 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it D with 3 findings (asks for root, recursive force delete, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
