evolver

evolver is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Stijnman/grok-custom-skills. It costs 29 tokens per session (342 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A helper for making one small, controlled change to a skill file, which is a set of instructions for an AI coding agent.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to propose and apply a narrowly scoped skill tweak after approval, then validate the result.
Why use it?
It adds an approval step before changing the skill and checks that the edited file still has valid frontmatter, the metadata at its beginning.

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

evolver 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 7d 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

Evolver

When to Use

  • User says quick evolve or task matches this capability
  • User says mutate skill or task matches this capability
  • User says tweak skill or task matches this capability

Workflow

  1. Load the target SKILL.md and identify one narrowly scoped proposed edit.
  2. Present the proposed change and expected effect; obtain explicit user approval before changing or saving the file.
  3. After approval, apply the edit and validate the frontmatter.
  4. Keep the change local unless the user separately authorizes a commit, publication, backup upload, or other external persistence.

Integrations

  • skill-evolver
  • evolution
  • hyper-skill-tester

Error Handling

Failure Response
Invalid frontmatter Preserve the broken draft, show the restore option from git or a local versioned backup, and wait for approval before restoring.

Gotchas

  • Prefer skill-evolver for major rewrites.

Example

Input: User request matching triggers above. Output: Structured result per workflow with integrations invoked as needed.

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.
