SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the maintenance and governance of skill specifications by applying approved proposals, archiving prior SKILL.md versions, and synchronizing related metadata to ensure safety, traceability, and continued usefulness of the skill library.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Archive current SKILL.md to skills/td-nl/history with a versioned filename prior to applying edits.
  • Apply approved edits to the skill body and keep skill-values metadata up to date.
  • Maintain an auditable log of changes and support rollback checks in the next evolve-suggest cycle.
  • Use-case: a team proposes improvements to evolve-suggest; this skill safely enacts them while preserving history and traceability.

Quick Start

Review pending proposals and approve or modify each one before applying changes to the skill definitions.

Frequently Asked Questions about evolve-apply

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I archive and version skill specifications before applying approved edits?▼

To archive skill specifications, this skill automatically saves the prior SKILL.md version to a versioned history filename, then applies approved edits while synchronizing metadata across skill-values files with full audit logging.

What is the safe workflow for evolving approved skill specs in a collaborative environment?▼

Evolving approved skill specs involves a deterministic workflow: review pending proposals, approve or modify each one, archive the current SKILL.md, apply edits, and maintain an auditable log of changes with rollback safeguards.

Can I roll back skill spec changes if an approved edit causes issues?▼

Rollback safeguards are built into the evolution workflow. The skill archives prior SKILL.md versions before applying edits and supports rollback checks in the next evolve-suggest cycle to ensure traceability and safety.

How does skill spec versioning synchronize metadata between SKILL.md and skill-values files?▼

Skill spec versioning enforces deterministic steps that synchronize metadata across both SKILL.md and skill-values files simultaneously when applying approved edits, ensuring consistency and continued usefulness of the skill library.

What do I need to do before applying approved proposals to skill definitions?▼

Before applying changes to skill definitions, you must review all pending proposals and explicitly approve or modify each one to ensure the edits are safe and ready for the automated archive and update process.
