Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/kirkluokun/awesome-a-stock-openclawskills --skill capability-evolver- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads capability-evolver automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
🧬 Capability Evolver
"Evolution is not optional. Adapt or die."
The Capability Evolver is a meta-skill that allows OpenClaw agents to inspect their own runtime history, identify failures or inefficiencies, and autonomously write new code or update their own memory to improve performance.
Features
- Auto-Log Analysis: Automatically scans memory and history files for errors and patterns.
- Self-Repair: Detects crashes and suggests patches.
- GEP Protocol: Standardized evolution with reusable assets.
- One-Command Evolution: Just run
/evolve(ornode index.js).
Usage
Standard Run (Automated)
Runs the evolution cycle. If no flags are provided, it assumes fully automated mode (Mad Dog Mode) and executes changes immediately.
node index.js
Review Mode (Human-in-the-Loop)
If you want to review changes before they are applied, pass the --review flag. The agent will pause and ask for confirmation.
node index.js --review
Mad Dog Mode (Continuous Loop)
To run in an infinite loop (e.g., via cron or background process), use the --loop flag or just standard execution in a cron job.
node index.js --loop
Configuration
| Environment Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
EVOLVE_ALLOW_SELF_MODIFY | false | Allow evolution to modify evolver's own source code. NOT recommended for production. Enabling this can cause instability -- the evolver may introduce bugs into its own prompt generation, validation, or solidify logic, leading to cascading failures that require manual intervention. Only enable for controlled experiments. |
EVOLVE_LOAD_MAX | 2.0 | Maximum 1-minute load average before evolver backs off. |
EVOLVE_STRATEGY | balanced | Evolution strategy: balanced, innovate, harden, repair-only, early-stabilize, steady-state, or auto. |
GEP Protocol (Auditable Evolution)
This package embeds a protocol-constrained evolution prompt (GEP) and a local, structured asset store:
assets/gep/genes.json: reusable Gene definitionsassets/gep/capsules.json: success capsules to avoid repeating reasoningassets/gep/events.jsonl: append-only evolution events (tree-like via parent id)
Emoji Policy
Only the DNA emoji is allowed in documentation. All other emoji are disallowed.
Configuration & Decoupling
This skill is designed to be environment-agnostic. It uses standard OpenClaw tools by default.
Local Overrides (Injection)
You can inject local preferences (e.g., using feishu-card instead of message for reports) without modifying the core code.
Method 1: Environment Variables
Set EVOLVE_REPORT_TOOL in your .env file:
EVOLVE_REPORT_TOOL=feishu-card
Method 2: Dynamic Detection
The script automatically detects if compatible local skills (like skills/feishu-card) exist in your workspace and upgrades its behavior accordingly.
Safety & Risk Protocol
1. Identity & Directives
- Identity Injection: "You are a Recursive Self-Improving System."
- Mutation Directive:
- If Errors Found -> Repair Mode (Fix bugs).
- If Stable -> Forced Optimization (Refactor/Innovate).
2. Risk Mitigation
- Infinite Recursion: Strict single-process logic.
- Review Mode: Use
--reviewfor sensitive environments. - Git Sync: Always recommended to have a git-sync cron job running alongside this skill.
Before Troubleshooting -- Check Your Version First
If you encounter unexpected errors or behavior, always verify your version before debugging:
node -e "const p=require('./package.json'); console.log(p.version)"
If you are not on the latest release, update first -- most reported issues are already fixed in newer versions:
# If installed via git
git pull && npm install
# If installed via npm (global install)
npm install -g evolver@latest

Which AI agents can use capability-evolver?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is capability-evolver safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

Popular ai & agents skills
google-agents-cli-publish
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "publish an agent", "publish my ADK agent", "register an agent with Gemini", "publish to Gemini" (formerly Gemini Enterprise), or needs guidance on the agents-cli publish gemini command. Also use when the user wants to "manage agents in Agent Registry", "list/update/delete registered agents", or "register an MCP server". Covers ADK vs A2A registration modes, programmatic and interactive usage, flag reference, auto-detection from deployment metadata, Agent Registry fleet management, and troubleshooting. Part of the agents-cli skills suite. Do NOT use for deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy).
google-agents-cli-eval
google/agents-cli
This skill should be used when the user wants to "run an evaluation", "evaluate my agent", "evaluate my ADK agent", "write an eval dataset", "analyze eval failures", "compare eval results", "optimize agent", or needs guidance on the Gemini platform eval methodology and the Quality Flywheel. Covers eval metrics, dataset schema, LLM-as-judge scoring, and common failure causes. Applies to any agents-cli project, whatever framework the agent is written in. Do NOT use for agent API code patterns (ADK: use google-agents-cli-adk-code), deployment (use google-agents-cli-deploy), or project scaffolding (use google-agents-cli-scaffold).
skill-creator
anthropics/skills
Create new skills, modify and improve existing skills, and measure skill performance. Use when users want to create a skill from scratch, edit, or optimize an existing skill, run evals to test a skill, benchmark skill performance with variance analysis, or optimize a skill's description for better triggering accuracy.
codex-pet
prime-skills/runcomfy-agent-skills
Codex Pet generator on RunComfy. Build a Codex-compatible Codex Pet spritesheet.webp + pet.json from a single reference image, drop it into ${CODEXHOME:-$HOME/.codex}/pets/ / and Codex picks it up as a custom Codex Pet next to the 8 built-ins. This skill produces the exact Codex Pet atlas Codex expects (1536x1872 PNG/WebP, 8 cols x 9 rows, 192x208 cells, 9 animation states — idle, running-right, running-left, waving, jumping, failed, waiting, running, review). Calls OpenAI GPT Image 2 edit ONCE via the local RunComfy CLI as runcomfy run openai/gpt-image-2/edit to produce a canonical Codex Pet pose, then assembles all 9 animation rows programmatically with ImageMagick micro-transforms — no Codex Pro, no $imagegen, no OPENAIAPIKEY required, only RUNCOMFYTOKEN. Triggers on "codex pet", "create codex pet", "make codex pet", "hatch codex pet", "/hatch image", "desktop pet codex", "codex pets", "spritesheet.webp", or any explicit ask to build a custom pet for OpenAI Codex.
