evolve

evolve is a command for coding agents from mturac/everything-openai-codex. It costs 8 tokens per session (245 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of evolve, MIT.

A command that examines learned working patterns, called instincts, and suggests or generates new skills, commands, or agents from them.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to analyze candidate structures and, with generation enabled, create evolved skills, commands, or agents.
Why use it?
It helps turn repeated project or global patterns into reusable coding-agent structures.

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.

Origin

This is a copy

86% identical to evolve — 12 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Evolve Command

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

Your Task

Run:

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

If CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT is unavailable, use:

python3 ~/.codex/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: ~/.codex/homunculus/projects/<project-id>/evolved/
    • global fallback: ~/.codex/homunculus/evolved/
Changes

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.
