subscribe

A setup tool for adding a shared guidelines repository to evolve's unified repository list, with read-only or publishing access.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to subscribe to a repository by providing its remote address, local name, and access scope.
Why use it?
It gives the project one place to configure repositories that contain shared instructions, so they can be downloaded or used as publishing targets.

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

subscribe 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/subscribe.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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

95% identical to evolve-lite:subscribe — 11 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

Subscribe to a Shared Repo

Overview

Configured guidelines repos are multi-reader / multi-writer git databases, described in a single unified list in evolve.config.yaml:

repos:
  - name: memory
    scope: write
    remote: [email protected]:alice/evolve.git
    branch: main
    notes: public memory for foobar project
  - name: org-memory
    scope: read
    remote: [email protected]:acme/org-memory.git
    branch: main
    notes: private memory shared only within my org
  • scope: read — download-only. Synced on every run.
  • scope: write — publish target. Synced on every run too, so you see what you have already published and anything others have pushed.

Workflow

Step 1: Bootstrap config if missing

If evolve.config.yaml does not exist, ask the user for a username and create:

identity:
  user: {username}
repos: []
sync:
  on_session_start: true

Also ensure .evolve/ is gitignored:

grep -qxF '.evolve/' .gitignore 2>/dev/null || echo '.evolve/' >> .gitignore

Step 2: Gather details

Ask the user for:

  • the remote URL for the guidelines repo
  • a short local name such as alice
  • the scope: read (default, subscribe-only) or write (also a publish target)
  • an optional note

Step 3: Run subscribe script

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/evolve-lite/subscribe/scripts/subscribe.py \
  --name "{name}" \
  --remote "{remote}" \
  --branch main \
  --scope "{scope}" \
  --notes "{notes}"

Step 4: Confirm

Tell the user the repo was added and they can run /evolve-lite:sync immediately if they want to pull updates now.

Notes

  • The repo is cloned directly into .evolve/entities/subscribed/{name}/, which doubles as the recall mirror
  • Subscribed entities will appear in recall with [from: {name}] annotations
  • Read-scope repos use a shallow clone; write-scope repos use a full clone so publish commits can be rebased and pushed cleanly
Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.

Subscribe to this mod's changes

subscribe is a skill published in the GitHub repository AgentToolkit/altk-evolve (105 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 25 tokens to every session and 548 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 95% identical to evolve-lite:subscribe, differing in 11 lines, and is treated as a copy.
