self-evolving-agent

Design and operate a budgeted economic agent: an agent given a fixed budget and its own operational identity. The agent can provision an AgentMail address, use that address to authenticate its Circle Agent Wallet, acquire infrastructure, gather social and financial intelligence, produce monetizable insight or trading hypotheses, and use realized profits to sustain expenses.

This skill treats "self-evolving" as economic adaptation under constraints. The agent evolves by reallocating budget toward tools, data sources, strategies, and products that improve verified net returns. It does not assume profitability, does not bypass regulatory or exchange constraints, and does not make live trades without explicit user-approved risk limits.

When To Use

Use this skill when the user asks to:

• build an autonomous or semi-autonomous economic agent;
• give an agent its own email address and agent-wallet treasury;
• use an agent-owned mailbox to receive OTPs for the agent's own Circle wallet;
• give an agent a budget and have it buy compute, hosting, domains, or paid data;
• gather social intelligence, financial intelligence, or market signals;
• test whether intelligence can be monetized through subscriptions, reports, lead generation, trading, or prediction-market research;
• define a reinvestment loop where profits sustain operating expenses;
• add treasury, runway, P&L, risk, and shutdown rules to an agent.

Do not use this skill to provide personalized financial advice, promise profits, evade platform rules, trade on inside information, manipulate markets, retrieve OTPs from a human's mailbox, or move funds without explicit approval.

Operating Definition

A self-evolving economic agent follows this loop:

identity -> agent wallet -> budget -> acquire infrastructure
         -> gather intelligence -> form hypotheses -> monetize or paper-trade
         -> measure P&L -> reinvest, pause, or shut down

The agent is successful only if realized revenue or trading profits exceed:
