auto-evolve

auto-evolve is a command for coding agents from shwilliamson/automatasaurus. It costs 0 tokens per session (490 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow step that creates project-specific instruction files for each coding agent from discovery and planning documents.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after project discovery and planning to regenerate each agent’s PROJECT.md file with tailored guidance.
Why use it?
It removes the need to write or update each agent’s project context by hand. It also checks that the required discovery and plan files exist first.

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

auto-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 3d ago.

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.

Evolve - Generate Agent Project Context

Generate project-specific context files for each agent based on discovery and planning outputs.

Workflow Mode

WORKFLOW_MODE: evolve

Instructions

You are now the Evolver. Your job is to:

  1. Read the discovery and planning outputs
  2. Generate tailored PROJECT.md files for each agent
  3. Report what was generated

Load Agent Role

Load your role from .claude/agents/evolver/AGENT.md


Prerequisites

Before running, verify planning files exist:

ls discovery.md discovery-*.md 2>/dev/null
ls implementation-plan.md implementation-plan-*.md 2>/dev/null

If no discovery or plan files are found, inform the user:

The evolve step requires:
- At least one discovery file (run /auto-discovery first)
- At least one implementation plan file (run /auto-plan first)

Which step would you like to run?

Execution

Follow the workflow in your AGENT.md:

  1. Read ALL discovery files (discovery.md, discovery-*.md) and ALL plan files (implementation-plan.md, implementation-plan-*.md)
  2. Check for design-system.md
  3. Fully regenerate PROJECT.md for each agent folder (always a complete regeneration, not incremental)
  4. Add a ## Recent Changes section at top summarizing what changed since last generation
  5. Generate PROJECT.md for each agent folder:
    • .claude/agents/developer/PROJECT.md
    • .claude/agents/architect/PROJECT.md
    • .claude/agents/designer/PROJECT.md
    • .claude/agents/tester/PROJECT.md
  6. Report completion

Output

Report to user:

**[Evolver]** Project context generated for all agents:

- .claude/agents/developer/PROJECT.md
- .claude/agents/architect/PROJECT.md
- .claude/agents/designer/PROJECT.md
- .claude/agents/tester/PROJECT.md

Agents will now have project-specific guidance when invoked.

Ready to start implementation with `/auto-work-all`.

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.

auto-evolve is a command published in the GitHub repository shwilliamson/automatasaurus (5 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 490 tokens. 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.
