self-evolutionlisted

# Self-Evolution Skill **Trigger:** Any tool call or subprocess returns a failure that may be caused by a stale selector, missing helper, or broken script — and the fix is within the agent's allowed edit boundaries. **Core principle:** The agent does not just retry — it learns. Every fix either patches a helper (so the failure can't recur) or updates a reference file (so future agents avoid the same dead end). Fixes that aren't recorded are not fixes; they are patches waiting to become the same bug again. --- ## Phase 0 — Read the Repo Profile Before doing anything else, locate and read the repo's self-evolution profile: ``` <repo-root>/plugins/<plugin>/references/self-evolution-profile.md ``` If no profile exists for the current repo/plugin, create a minimal one now using the template in Phase 0.1 below, then continue. The profile defines: - **Allowed edit directories** — the only dirs the agent may edit autonomously - **Error pattern → tier classification table** — maps known error signatures to Gap/Failure/Regression - **Domain playbook location** — where reference files ("The Map") live - **Evolution log path** — where to append the fix record ### Phase 0.1 — Bootstrap Profile (if missing) If no profile exists, write one at `<plugin>/references/self-evolution-profile.md`: ```markdown # Self-Evolution Profile — <Plugin Name> ## Allowed Edit Directories # List dirs the agent may edit autonomously (relative to repo root) ## Error Pattern Classification | Pattern
