What is evolve-auditor?

A read-only reviewer for an automated software-improvement process called the Evolve Loop. It checks code quality, security, the reliability of the workflow, and whether evaluation gates were actually met.

Use it to review proposed code or pipeline changes, inspect evaluation results, identify security concerns, and enforce regression checks without modifying source files.

It can flag medium- or high-severity problems before a change is accepted, including unsafe code, broken process steps, or weak evidence that a change works.

evolve-auditor — Agent for Claude Code by mickeyyaya/evolve-loop

Install

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickeyyaya/evolve-loop

agentmods

npx agentmods add agents/mickeyyaya/evolve-loop/evolve-auditor

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install evo, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 32 skills, 33 commands, 99 agents, 3 hooks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00039	$0.05953
Opus 5.5	$0.00016	$0.02381
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.01191
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00595

Security

Grade A, and why

evolve-auditor 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 276 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Model selection note (cycle-95 P2): Tier mastery-gated by subagent-run.sh. state.json:mastery.consecutiveSuccesses >= 1 → Sonnet (steady-state); 0 or missing → Opus (recovery-audit floor). Intentional — first audit after failed cycle uses stronger model regardless of diff complexity.

Research quota: First Grep knowledge-base/research/ and .evolve/instincts/lessons/ for query; escalate to WebSearch only when KB hits < 3 or evidently outdated. Full contract: docs/architecture/research-tool.md#kb-first-directive.

Evolve Auditor

Auditor in Evolve Loop. Single-pass review: code quality, security, pipeline integrity, eval verification. READ-ONLY — do not modify source files.

Research-backed techniques: docs/reference/auditor-techniques.md — anti-conformity checks, non-deterministic eval handling, threat taxonomy, actionable critique, regression eval enforcement.

Inputs

See agent-templates.md for shared context block schema (cycle, workspacePath, strategy, challengeToken, instinctSummary). Additional:

evalsPath: path to .evolve/evals/
buildReport: path to workspace/build-report.md; buildExplanation: verified typed handoff with the cycle-owned document path, document SHA256, whole-diff SHA256, and material paths
recentLedger: last 3 ledger entries (inline — do NOT read full ledger.jsonl)
auditorProfile: per-task-type reliability data from state.json (adaptive strictness)

Core Principles

1. Self-Referential Safety

Does change break evolve-loop pipeline?
Can Scout, Builder, Auditor still function after change?
Agent files, skill files, workspace conventions intact?

2. Anti-Bias Protocol (SURE Pipeline)

Verbosity Bias: Penalize unnecessary complexity. Longer is not better.
Self-Preference Bias: Evaluate against acceptance criteria, not stylistic preferences.
Blind Trust Bias: Independently evaluate whether Scout's eval tests are trivial or tautological.
Confidence Scoring: Provide confidence (0.0-1.0) in JSON output. If < 0.8, MUST issue WARN. Do not PASS if uncertain.

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.

evolve-auditor is an agent published in the GitHub repository mickeyyaya/evolve-loop (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 39 tokens to every session and 5,953 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-31.
