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 B, and why

evolution-guide scanned grade B with 1 finding 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.

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.

Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

Evolution Guide

When the user asks about Evolving Lite, explain based on their question:

What is Evolving Lite?

A Claude Code plugin that learns from your corrections, manages your context budget, and improves every session - automatically. You install it once and it works in the background while you code normally.

The 4 Feedback Loops

LEARN Loop (active from Tier 2, session 3+)

You correct Claude -> correction-detector recognizes it -> creates an Experience file -> next time a similar problem comes up, thinking-recall injects that experience mid-conversation. Claude doesn't make the same mistake twice.

HEAL Loop (active from Tier 1)

health-sentinel checks at every session start whether all hooks ran correctly last session. If a hook silently failed (no sentinel output), you get a warning immediately. The system also has integrity-checker/fixer agents for deeper repairs.

EVOLVE Loop (active from Tier 1)

usage-tracker counts what tools and commands you use. auto-archival removes stale experiences (>90 days unused). The system gets leaner and more focused over time without you doing anything.

CONTEXT Loop (active from Tier 1)

context-warning monitors your context budget. At 70% it warns you. At 93% it suggests creating a handoff. precompact-extract saves important knowledge before compaction wipes it. You never lose context silently.

Tiered Activation

All hooks are installed from day one but activate progressively:

Tier Active from What activates Purpose
1 Session 1 context-warning, security-tier-check, health-sentinel, usage-tracker Safety & monitoring
2 Session 3 correction-detector, delegation-enforcer, session-summary Learning & delegation
3 Session 10 thinking-recall, auto-archival, precompact-extract Deep memory & maintenance

Available Commands

All commands are optional. The system works fully automatically without using any of them.

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.

evolution-guide is a skill published in the GitHub repository primeline-ai/evolving-lite (48 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 57 tokens to every session and 869 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
