SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Transform mature instincts into formal, auto-discovered Copilot skills, enabling teams to grow a governed, reusable capability set.

Core Features & Use Cases

Identify candidates in .atv/instincts/project.yaml with confidence > 0.8 and >5 observations, excluding archived ones.
Cluster related instincts into one domain-based skill and generate a corresponding SKILL.md under .github/skills/.
Archive the evolved instincts to .atv/instincts/archive with metadata and provide a progress report.

Quick Start

Run the evolve process to identify candidates, cluster them by domain, and generate the corresponding SKILL.md files.

FAQPage Schema

How do I auto-generate Copilot skills from mature project instincts?▼

Auto-generate Copilot skills by running the evolve process to identify mature instincts, cluster them by domain, and output SKILL.md files. The tool transforms recurring patterns with confidence above 0.8 into formal, discoverable capabilities under .github/skills.

What is the confidence threshold for evolving instincts into skills?▼

The confidence threshold for evolving instincts into skills is 0.8. Instincts must exceed this confidence level across multiple observations, specifically requiring more than 5 observations, to qualify for graduation into auto-discovered skills.

How do I cluster related instincts into a single domain-based skill?▼

Cluster related instincts into a single domain-based skill by running the evolve process. It automatically groups qualified instincts from .atv/instincts/project.yaml and generates a corresponding SKILL.md file under .github/skills/ for each domain cluster.

Where are evolved instincts archived after generating Copilot skills?▼

Evolved instincts are archived under .atv/instincts/archive. After generating the SKILL.md files, the evolve process archives the source instincts with metadata and provides a progress report to track the transformation.

Can I use evolve to manage skill governance and auto-discovery for my team?▼

You can use evolve to manage skill governance and auto-discovery by graduating mature, recurring patterns into formal Copilot skills. This enables teams to grow a governed, reusable capability set through auto-generated SKILL.md files.

What happens to archived instincts when generating new skills?▼

Archived instincts are excluded from the candidate pool when generating new skills. The evolve process specifically excludes archived instincts from .atv/instincts/project.yaml, ensuring only active, mature patterns are transformed into discoverable capabilities.
