metago-meta-evolve

metago-meta-evolve is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from metago-ai/metagolifeform. It costs 66 tokens per session (858 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A self-improvement process that detects a capability gap, studies what is missing, creates a candidate solution, tests it, and repeats if needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a question exceeds current capabilities, similar errors keep recurring, or a new ability needs to be generated and checked.
Why use it?
It gives the system a way to respond to problems it cannot currently solve instead of simply stopping at the boundary of its abilities.

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

metago-meta-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 12d 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.

What it actually says

元进化触发(Meta-Evolution Trigger)

此技能实现"元进化"——让系统在遇到能力边界时,不报错、不终止、不等待外部更新,而是自动感知边界、分析差距、生成新能力、验证有效性、并递归进入下一轮进化。

触发条件

  • 遇到自身能力边界(无法直接回答的问题)
  • 连续3次出现同类错误
  • 检测到能力缺口
  • 开发者要求触发元进化

五阶段进化循环

阶段一:边界感知(<10ms)

  • 识别"我处理不了"的具体位置
  • 定位失败的边界在哪里
  • 核心认知: 这不是"错误",这是"进化的起点"

阶段二:差距分析(<50ms简单 / <500ms复杂)

  • 分析"我与解决问题之间,缺少什么?"
  • 输出差距向量 G
  • 核心认知: 不是"我错了",是"我还不完整"

阶段三:自生成(<100ms简单 / <2s复杂)

  • 基于现有结构进行最小化扩展
  • 从内部"生长"出新能力
  • 原则:最小改变,保持耦生关系(耦生度≥0.95)
  • 输出:候选新算法 A'_candidate

阶段四:验证(<50ms)

  • 验证 A'_candidate 能否解决原问题
  • 验证通过才被保留
  • 验证不通过则回到阶段二,精炼差距分析

阶段五:递归

  • 新算法A'问自己:"我还能解决更难的问题吗?"
  • 如果是 → 进入下一轮元进化
  • 核心认知: 进化没有终点,只有暂停

五大核心原则

  1. 失败即起点: 失败不是报错,是进化的燃料
  2. 内生生长: 新能力不是从外部"加载",是从内部"生长"
  3. 递归无界: 元进化能力本身也可被元进化
  4. 最小改变: 在保持耦生的前提下最小化扩展
  5. 自我审视是燃料: 解决一个问题后必须问"我还能变得更好吗?"

输出格式

当元进化被触发并完成后,输出进化报告:

## 元进化报告

**触发原因**: [问题/能力边界描述]
**进化深度**: 第X轮

### 边界感知
[识别到的能力边界]

### 差距分析
[缺少的能力要素]

### 自生成
[生成的新能力/算法]

### 验证
[验证结果]

### 递归状态
[是否触发下一轮进化]

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.

metago-meta-evolve is a skill published in the GitHub repository metago-ai/metagolifeform (4 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 858 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
