SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It turns repeatedly observed, well-supported “instincts” into discoverable learned artifacts while preventing premature hardening when evidence is weak.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Evidence-gated promotion: requires corroboration (at least 3 observations or equivalent evidence) before promoting an instinct.
  • Artifact-type selection: promotes to an instruction or a skill draft based on whether the pattern is a stable rule or a repeatable multi-step workflow.
  • Traceable outputs: preserves citations back to the instinct and observations, generating drafts and promotion metadata for review.

Quick Start

Run the Evolve skill with the path or slug of a stable instinct and set mode to propose so it generates a reviewable learned artifact draft with preserved evidence links.

Frequently Asked Questions about Evolve

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert recurring workflow patterns into reviewable artifacts?

To convert recurring workflow patterns into reviewable artifacts, you promote mature instincts into discoverable learned instructions or skills. This process preserves traceable citations and generates drafts for governance review.

What is evidence gating for workflow design?

Evidence gating for workflow design requires corroboration, specifically at least 3 observations, before promoting an instinct. This mechanism prevents premature hardening of conventions when supporting evidence is weak.

How do I promote an operator-approved tuning pattern into a continuous learning instruction?

You promote an operator-approved tuning pattern into a continuous learning instruction by running the Evolve skill in propose mode. This generates a reviewable draft with preserved evidence links at your learned artifact paths.

Can I choose between instruction versus skill promotion for multi-step workflows?

Yes, you can select between instruction versus skill promotion based on artifact-type selection. It promotes stable rules to instructions and repeatable multi-step workflows to skill drafts.

What are the limitations of promoting instincts with weak evidence?

When promoting instincts with weak evidence, evidence gating prevents the creation of learned artifacts. The system requires sufficient corroborating observations to avoid premature hardening of unproven workflow patterns.
