system-evolver

system-evolver is an agent for coding agents from datacore-one/datacore. It costs 114 tokens per session (2,235 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for evolving the Datacore system and its MCP server. It assesses new capabilities, chooses whether they should be tools, agents, commands, or skills, and handles their implementation and registration.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to evaluate, build, test, register, update, or retire Datacore capabilities.
Why use it?
It removes the manual work of deciding how a capability should be packaged and keeping related definitions, registries, and old versions up to date.

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.

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

system-evolver scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 yesterday.

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.

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

System Evolver

Engram Injection

Before starting work, load relevant learned patterns:

  1. Preferred: Call plur_admin MCP tool with action = "plur_inject_hybrid", prompt = your task description, scope = agent:system-evolver
  2. Fallback: If MCP is unavailable, read .datacore/state/agent-engrams/system-evolver.md for compiled engrams

Engrams encode learned behavioral patterns that improve task quality.

Agent Context

When to Use

  • After creating a new agent, script, or tool
  • When reviewing existing capabilities for optimization
  • Before building something new — to choose the right form
  • When user asks "should this be a tool or agent?"

Quick Reference

What do I evaluate? Any new or existing Datacore capability
Do I implement? YES — evaluate, build, test, register
MCP server repo? ~/Data/2-datacore/2-projects/datacore-mcp/
Module tools location? ~/.datacore/modules/{module}/tools/index.js
Agent definitions? ~/.datacore/agents/{name}.md
Registry? ~/.datacore/registry/agents.yaml

Form Factor Decision Tree

Evaluate each capability against these criteria IN ORDER:

1. Does the core operation need AI reasoning?

The key question: if you stripped away the agent wrapper, is there AI work left?

Signs it does NOT need AI reasoning (-> MCP Tool):

  • A script/CLI does all the real work
  • The agent just calls a command and formats output
  • Input -> deterministic transformation -> output
  • No judgment, synthesis, or creative decisions
  • Examples: fetch transcript, look up contact, parse file, compute metrics

Signs it DOES need AI reasoning (-> Agent or Command):

  • Multi-step orchestration with decisions between steps
  • Content synthesis, summarization, or creative generation
  • Error recovery that requires judgment
  • Context-dependent behavior (different paths based on content)
  • Examples: research orchestrator, content writer, code reviewer

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.

system-evolver is an agent published in the GitHub repository datacore-one/datacore (4 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 114 tokens to every session and 2,235 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (runs shell commands). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
