FAQ
Q: What does agent self-evolution mean?
A: The agent analyzes its own execution history, finds what went wrong, and locks improvements into new skills or configs so the next similar run starts from a better baseline instead of zero.
Q: Will these skills modify my local files?
A: Some will. Evolution engines like capability-evolver-1-40-0 modify local configs or skill files under protocol constraints. Read their safety notes first and back up important directories.
Q: Do I need an extra API key?
A: Experiment-driven skills like a-evolve need an LLM API key and bill per call. Pure review-and-capture skills usually do not — install and go.
Q: How is this different from a normal skill?
A: A normal skill is a manual you write for the agent. A self-evolution skill lets the agent write its own manual: it observes runs and distills what worked into new skills.
Q: How do I trigger an evolution run?
A: Most skills trigger on natural language: tell your agent "summarize this lesson" or "save this approach as a skill" and the evolution flow starts.
Q: Could it evolve into something broken?
A: Enable review mode or pin a baseline so every change is rollback-able. Experiment-style skills score variants and only promote the highest-scoring one.
