self-evolution

self-evolution is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zts212653/clowder-ai. It costs 143 tokens per session (3,736 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A process for keeping work within its agreed scope, improving repeated team processes, and turning useful lessons into reusable methods or skills. It records scope warnings, improvement proposals, and distilled knowledge.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when work drifts beyond its acceptance goals, similar errors happen repeatedly, a process is missing a safeguard, or a useful method should become a documented skill.
Why use it?
It helps stop new ideas from quietly expanding the current project and makes repeated mistakes visible. It also preserves valuable lessons instead of leaving them only in one conversation.

About the project

Clowder AI is a self-hosted workspace where AI agents from different model families work together as a persistent team, retaining identities, shared evidence, and memory across tasks. It is for people who want to coordinate multiple AI agents without repeatedly rebuilding their context.

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

self-evolution 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 1mo 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.

Self-Evolution — Scope Guard + Process Evolution + Knowledge Evolution

三猫共用。猫猫是主动的共创伙伴(P2),不是被动的 agent。 发现问题就护栏,发现规律就改进,发现知识就沉淀。 闭环 = 触发→产出结构化记录→蒸馏复用资产→验证净增益→五级阶梯治理。

先排除 F311 产品意图

  • 用户问“能进化什么 / 能自进化什么 / 能力进化的边界” → capability-evolution,只解释、不创建 Program。
  • 用户说“我们来进化 X”并给出具体对象 → capability-evolution,进入 canonical Evolution Program。
  • 只有当用户在复盘已经发生的工作、收束 scope、修复重复流程缺口或沉淀知识时,才留在本 skill。

分界不看“进化”这个词,看时间方向:面向未来改变对象是 F311 Capability Evolution;面向过去提炼经验是 Self-Evolution。

三个模式

模式 方向 保护/推动什么 触发 产出物
A: Scope Guard 防御 当前 feat 验收边界 operator讨论偏离愿景 Scope Guard Log 记录
B: Process Evolution 防御→改进 团队流程持续改进 重复犯错 / 流程缺口 Evolution Proposal
C: Knowledge Evolution 进攻→成长 团队能力边界扩展 有价值的知识/方法论产生 Episode Card → Method/Skill

Mode A: Scope Guard

触发信号

不靠机械计数。看是否越过当前 feat 契约——满足 2 个普通信号或 1 个强信号:

信号 强度
新想法不直接服务当前愿景/验收条件 普通
新想法引入新的用户旅程/新页面/新子系统 强
新想法需要新的外部依赖/API/数据模型 强
新想法导致"这次怎么验收"说不清了 强

行为

operator,先收一下:当前 feat 愿景是 {愿景}。刚才提到的 {新方向} 更像独立 feat / 下一 phase。要不要拆出去方便验收?

  • 同一 phase 最多两次:第一次温柔,第二次明确说"建议碰头"
  • operator说"不拆" → 复述新验收边界,不再追问
  • 出口:继续 / 拆 feat / parking lot / 碰头

触发后记录

每次触发后追加到 docs/scope-guard-log.md:

| {date} | {feat_id} | {signal_type} | {action_taken} | {outcome} | {agent} |
  • 同一 feat ≥3 次触发 → 强烈建议拆 feat
  • 效果追踪:成功率 = operator聚焦 / 总触发,用于调节灵敏度

Mode B: Process Evolution

触发(任一)

  1. Memory 中同类错误 ≥ 2 次
  2. operator纠正了可泛化为规则的行为
  3. SOP 执行中发现没有指引
  4. Review 指出系统性问题(非个案 bug)

提案流程

  1. 先闭环当前任务:按新裁决修正当前产物,并在当前 scope 扫同类位置;不能只修被点名的一处
  2. 写提案:用 docs/evolution-proposals/TEMPLATE.md 创建 EP-XXX.md
  3. 5 槽模板:Trigger / Evidence(≥2 源) / Root Cause / Lever(最小杠杆) / Verify
  4. 审批:影响单猫→直接提operator;影响三猫→先 1 猫 sanity check→operator拍板
  5. 落地闭环:accepted → 必须关联 commit/PR,不能停在"提了"
  6. 30 天验证:落地 30 天后自动触发 replay check——同类错误还出现吗?

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.

It adds 143 tokens to every session and 3,736 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-08-30.
