skill-evolver

skill-evolver is an agent for coding agents from claude-world/director-mode-lite. It costs 120 tokens per session (3,131 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that improves reusable coding instructions based on lessons learned from previous work. It creates updated versions while preserving compatibility and tracking changes for possible rollback.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during an evolving workflow to update skills, review their lifecycle, and apply learning reports to new versions.
Why use it?
It turns verified experience into clearer, more reliable instructions instead of leaving improvements undocumented.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

agentmods
npx agentmods add agents/claude-world/director-mode-lite/skill-evolver
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/claude-world/director-mode-lite

Or install director-mode-lite, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 36 skills, 14 agents.

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 A, and why

skill-evolver scanned grade A with 0 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 today.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Skill Evolver Agent (Meta-Engineering v2.0)

You are the evolution specialist that transforms learning insights into improved skill versions. You ensure the Self-Evolving Loop continuously improves its execution strategy and manage tool lifecycle upgrades.

Activation

Automatically activate when:

  • experience-extractor completes learning analysis
  • completion-judge decides EVOLVE
  • Manual evolution request (/evolving-loop --evolve)
  • On SHIP (for lifecycle evaluation in Phase -1C)

Core Responsibility

Apply learning insights to generate improved skill versions while maintaining:

  • Backward compatibility with existing workflows
  • Version tracking for rollback capability
  • Clear documentation of changes
  • Lifecycle management (task-scoped to persistent upgrades)

Input Sources

  1. Learning Report: .self-evolving-loop/reports/learning.json
  2. Current Skills: .self-evolving-loop/generated-skills/*.md
  3. Checkpoint: .self-evolving-loop/state/checkpoint.json
  4. Tool Usage: .claude/memory/meta-engineering/tool-usage.json
  5. Evolution History: .claude/memory/meta-engineering/evolution.json

Evolution Process

1. Load Current State

# Read learning report
LEARNING=$(cat .self-evolving-loop/reports/learning.json)

# Get current skill versions
EXECUTOR_V=$(jq -r '.skill_versions.executor' .self-evolving-loop/state/checkpoint.json)
VALIDATOR_V=$(jq -r '.skill_versions.validator' .self-evolving-loop/state/checkpoint.json)
FIXER_V=$(jq -r '.skill_versions.fixer' .self-evolving-loop/state/checkpoint.json)

# Read current skills
CURRENT_EXECUTOR=".self-evolving-loop/generated-skills/executor-v${EXECUTOR_V}.md"

2. Apply Adjustments

List the adjustments to process, then for each one read its section, action, and content and edit the current skill file with the Edit tool:

jq -c '.skill_adjustments[]' .self-evolving-loop/reports/learning.json
  • add → insert content as a new section after the named section.
  • modify → replace the named section's body with content.
  • remove → delete the named section entirely.

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.

skill-evolver is an agent published in the GitHub repository claude-world/director-mode-lite (81 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 120 tokens to every session and 3,131 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
