evolve

evolve is a command for coding agents from affaan-m/ECC. It costs 8 tokens per session (240 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command that studies learned instincts and suggests or creates related skills, commands, and agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review instinct groupings and, when requested, generate files for project or global use.
Why use it?
It helps turn repeated patterns from past work into reusable structures instead of leaving them as informal knowledge.

Command

Installs and runs on its own, but its text points at files inside its plugin — anything it tells you to read at a ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} path is only there once the plugin is installed. Installing the plugin gets both.

Part of the ecc plugin — 70 skills, 56 commands, 68 agents, 1 MCP server shipped together

About the project

ECC is a toolkit that organizes and improves how coding agents work through skills, memory, security checks, research practices, and related extensions. It is for developers using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor.

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.

npx agentmods add commands/affaan-m/ecc/evolve
Clone the repo
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC

Or install ecc, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 70 skills, 56 commands, 68 agents, 1 MCP server.

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

evolve 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 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.

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.

What it actually says

Evolve Command

Analyze and evolve instincts in continuous-learning-v2: $ARGUMENTS

Your Task

Run:

python3 "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py" evolve $ARGUMENTS

If CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT is unavailable, use:

python3 ~/.claude/skills/continuous-learning-v2/scripts/instinct-cli.py evolve $ARGUMENTS

Supported Args (v2.1)

  • no args: analysis only
  • --generate: also generate files under evolved/{skills,commands,agents}

Behavior Notes

  • Uses project + global instincts for analysis.
  • Shows skill/command/agent candidates from trigger and domain clustering.
  • Shows project -> global promotion candidates.
  • With --generate, output path is:
    • project context: ~/.claude/homunculus/projects/<project-id>/evolved/
    • global fallback: ~/.claude/homunculus/evolved/

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 is a command published in the GitHub repository affaan-m/ECC (248,541 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 8 tokens to every session and 240 once invoked, about $0.0000 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 2026-09-03.
