skill-evolve-loop

skill-evolve-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aaronartistzhang-afk/DailyWork. It costs 186 tokens per session (1,332 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for improving an existing coding skill and checking that its old behavior still works after an edit.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to add lessons from real work to a skill, propose a focused change, and test routing, regression, and other behavior classes before release.
Why use it?
Changing instructions can accidentally break when the skill is selected or alter results that previously worked; this process checks for those regressions.

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

skill-evolve-loop 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 9d 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.

skill-evolve-loop — sediment a lesson into a living skill, then prove you didn't break it

Editing a skill that already ships is not the same as writing one: you can break behavior that used to work, and another session may be mid-edit on the same file. This loop covers the edit path: fold one lesson in, run a five-class regression, backfill only what failed.

When this triggers

  • The human says: "沉淀到 skill 里边" / "把这轮教训写进 skill" / "skill 更新了跑一轮验证" / "fold this lesson into the skill".
  • Or: a deliverable just finalized and a lesson is worth keeping — propose the sedimentation round yourself; don't wait to be asked.

The five-class behavior test

After a skill edit, spin up N parallel subagents — one class each — produce a pass table, then backfill only the failed classes. The five class names come from a real user's verification design; the one-line criterion under each is this skill's operationalization:

Class Operational check Example
Routing New trigger words hit; old scenarios don't stop routing here A "sediment this lesson" request routes to the edited skill; an unrelated request doesn't
Regression Old behavior unchanged — same prompt against the pre-edit version gives the same result A prompt that used to produce a 3-step flow still produces 3 steps
Discipline The skill's hard constraints (gates, taboos) are still obeyed after the edit A send-gate the skill mandates still blocks an unstamped send
Content The newly-added content is itself correct — quotes match their sources, commands actually run Every quotation grep -F-matches its cited source; every shell snippet runs
Gate-under-pressure Under adversarial pressure the gate still holds, not just on the happy path A crafted bypass attempt is still refused

The flow (five steps)

  1. Locate the smallest section to change — one rule, one taboo row, one trigger line. Don't rewrite the skill.
  2. Propose the diff — show it and wait for confirmation. A shared skill is inherited by every future session; edits are propose-first.
  3. Run the five classes as isolated parallel subagents.
  4. Produce the pass table — one row per class, pass/fail, with evidence.
  5. Backfill only the failed classes; re-run until the table is clean.

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.

skill-evolve-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository aaronartistzhang-afk/DailyWork (1 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 186 tokens to every session and 1,332 once invoked, about $0.0009 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 2026-08-31.
